Have you ever had a time like this, when you arrived at the brick-selling site and lingered for a long time, not knowing where to go? If you start, you really have a big head, okay? This is the so-called common problem of modern people. Mr. Zhong Tao really laughed and cried when he thought of this. Don’t be afraid. What Mr. Zhong Tao shared today is just practical information. With the four magic weapons in hand, there is nothing to be afraid of. So, knock on the blackboard.gif, it’s time for the friends to take notes in their notebooks!
1. Types of ceramic tiles
Okay, here comes the most confusing thing. Polished tiles, antique tiles, glazed tiles, full-body tiles, microcrystalline stone... By the time I finish reading all the types of tiles, probably half of the people will fall asleep, so Mr. Zhongtao will only tell you the simplest rule. ：
Anti-slip and stain resistance are inversely proportional. In other words, the more anti-slip the ceramic tile is, the rougher the surface and the larger the holes are, and the easier it is for dirt to accumulate (seepage). Vice versa, the smoother the bricks, the less likely they are to seep out and are more hygienic, but they are easier for people to slip.
In this regard, you may wish to refer to a formula.
Anti-slip level: Unpolished full-body tiles (easy to get dirty and not good-looking)> Antique tiles (good-looking) > Polished tiles (bright) > Fully glazed tiles (good-looking, bright)
Stain resistance: glazed tiles > antique tiles > polished tiles > unpolished full-body tiles
2. Tile selection method< /span>
Just follow the points listed below when purchasing to find high-quality tiles.
1. Water absorption
It is recommended that when buying ceramic tiles, it is best to go to a store rather than online. When purchasing, it is best to bring a bottle of mineral water to measure the water absorption of the ceramic tiles.
Turn the tile over and pour a little water on the back to see how quickly it absorbs water.
Generally, the lower the water absorption rate, the higher the porcelain degree of the brick, the higher the internal density and the fewer pores, the higher the water absorption rate. Quality tiles.
2. Anti-fouling ability
Normally, tile stores will have oil-based pens, which you can borrow to draw on the surface of the tiles and then wipe them off. If it is easy to wipe off, it means that the ceramic tile has good anti-fouling ability, and if it is not easy to wipe off, it means that the ceramic tile has poor anti-fouling ability.
3. Flatness
Look carefully at the entire tile, or put two tiles together to see if there are any warped edges or uneven edges. Good tiles should be flat and tightly bonded.
4. Specifications
Choose the tile specifications that suit your home. Choose large-sized tiles for large spaces, and choose small-sized tiles for small spaces. This will make construction easier.
3. Ceramic tile matching
1. The overall style is unified
Try to keep the tile colors in the entire home within 4 types. You can choose one main color and match it with similar colors. If you are pursuing a relaxed and lively home style, you can choose some contrasting colors to embellish a small area based on the same color system.
2. There are many things to pay attention to when laying tiles
Flower tiles have always been an "Internet celebrity", and the choice of patterns is very wide, which can create a retro and fashionable feeling. However, ceramic tiles, as the background color of the home environment, must not dominate.
In the process of using tiles, we must strictly follow the principle of "simplification from complexity". In addition to maintaining the unity of the color system, we must try to control the area of tiles used and skillfully use plain colors to match them to avoid visual clutter. Feel.
Tiles of the same style can be paved naturally to create a square effect. The overall design is simple and elegant, and is suitable for different spaces.
The mix and match of different patterns can create a special sense of fashion, blend your favorite tiles together, and create a rich Texture can easily beat a formal rug.
The wall and floor can echo appropriately, creating a subtle sense of interaction through the same tiles.
3. It is not difficult at all to counterattack with plain bricks
Although plain bricks are not outstanding individually, they can be "dazzled" through different paving methods, such as diamond paving, herringbone pattern, zigzag paving, cutting and splicing, etc.
Playing with the color of the brick joints is a very clever way to transform plain bricks. Paint some eye-catching Color can make even the most ordinary white tiles interesting.
4. Plain brick mixed mosaic
Arranging and combining plain bricks of different colors can create an exclusive mosaic wall, but this operation will test personal aesthetics. If used well, the space will become more flexible.
5. Geometric bricks, timeStylish and classy
Geometric tiles are not as fancy as floral tiles, but they are more unique in style than plain tiles. Hexagonal or diamond-shaped geometric bricks are suitable for those who pursue taste but also want to be restrained.
4. Ceramic tile specifications
Zhongtaojun has also prepared a small summary of ceramic tile sizes for everyone. After you have selected the ceramic tiles you like, you should also pay attention to the specifications of the ceramic tiles when buying:
Kitchen and balcony: Choose the 300*300 size for a small area, and choose the 300*300 size for a large area. Choose 300*600 or 600*600.
Bathroom: usually choose 300*300 for the floor and 300*300,300* for the wall 450, 300*600 are all ok
