At present, there are many kinds of tiles on the market according to the classification, such as full-body tiles, glazed tiles, polished tiles, etc., plus different specifications, different colors and textures, which make people dazzling. Then, as a decoration white, what is the need to avoid the pit when buying tiles?

1. Don't install small square bricks, mosaic tiles and other net red bricks for following the trend

One of the biggest problems in modern decoration is blindly following the trend. Early popular small tiles, small white tiles, hexagonal tiles, terrazzo, etc., countless people are hot-headed because they see a few beautiful pictures on the Internet, and they follow the trend and install them at home. And the result? Cases of rollover abound.

to be honest, it's not a bad idea to choose net red brick, just consider its practicability carefully. Many of the online celebrity tiles listed above are totally inconsistent with the pictures and have color difference. If you really want to spread it at home in such a large area, the effect may be counterproductive and it looks rustic, and the cost of spreading it is often relatively high. When you meet some bricklayers who don't know much about fashion, you will even post the wrong tiles in online celebrity, which will make you laugh and cry.

second, there are no expensive tiles on the back of the cupboard

However, you should know that when the kitchen is renovated, the wall outside the back panel of the cupboard will be completely blocked by the cupboard. At this time, some people will simply not lay tiles in order to save money. Anyway, it will be wasted and invisible outside.

in fact, it is indeed possible not to stick tiles in order to save costs, but if you are in a southern city and the weather is humid, it is recommended to stick tiles in order to reduce the direct damage of moisture to the cabinet and prolong the service life of the cabinet. However, it is not necessary to stick expensive tiles, so you can choose to stick more affordable tiles, which can not only save costs, but also play a moisture-proof role, and the aesthetics need not be considered.

Third, unless the budget is high, it is not recommended to install large-size tiles

Now the size of tiles is getting bigger and bigger. From the popular 611*1211mm specification two years ago to the popular 751*1511mm specification now, in short, ceramic tile sellers have suggested that consumers choose large-size ceramic tiles, saying that the paving effect is more atmospheric and more upscale.

what they didn't tell your, however, was that the larger size tiles not only doubled in price, but also the paving cost was much more expensive than the conventional size tiles. In addition, the loss of big bricks is also relatively high. When you meet a master with poor craftsmanship, you will really kill yourself. In some places, the edges and corners still need to be cut, which carelessly caused waste and cost an extra sum of money. If the decoration budget is not high, there is really no need to pursue large-size tiles.

4. Don't install bright tiles in the design of the main light

If the main light is designed at home, it is best not to stick bright tiles. Although bright tiles can present mirror effect, which is more bright and high-grade decoration effect, combined with spotlights and downlights on the ceiling, it is easy to cause reflection.

The ceiling is sparkling, and all kinds of gaudy shadows are reflected on the ground, so the whole decoration effect will be greatly reduced.

5. Don't install matte tiles unless you are extremely diligent.

Many people choose matte tiles for anti-slip and love matte texture at first, but only after they really check in do they realize that matte tiles are really not suitable for lazy people, because they are really too difficult to take care of! Its surface has not been polished, so it is easy to hide evil and shelter evil. As long as there is ash, there will be marks on the ground, and it is not an exaggeration to drag it several times a day.

let's talk about anti-skid. In fact, the anti-skid of ceramic tile is not whether it is matte brick or not, as long as the friction coefficient is enough, the anti-skid performance is also good. Between stain-resistant and beautiful, it is more recommended to choose stain-resistant tiles.
