Although wooden floors and tiles are nowadays part of the home renovation, ceramic tiles still occupy an invincible position in the living room and some functional areas. It is like a house's fashion, and is a layer of bright coat in the master's room. .
The quality of the tiles is very important. It is not like everyday items and can be replaced at will. Once you check in, you will find quality problems. It is very troublesome.
However, tiles on the market vary widely, ranging from a few tens of dollars to a few hundred dollars. How do you choose a suitable ceramic tile for your home? Accompanied by people in the industry, the reporter visited a ceramic tile shop under the Ping Shan Road and looked for some options.
Determine the specifications of the tiles
First of all, to determine the space used by the tiles, is used in the kitchen, bathroom or living room. Determine the most basic conditions before making the selection, especially for the living room tiles, first determine what size to buy.
The larger the room area, the larger the size of the brick can be selected. Generally, the room with an area of ​​20 square meters or more can use 80cm×80cm bricks. The use of large blocks of floor tiles not only reduces the gaps on the ground, but is aesthetically pleasing and durable, and is generally economical.
Calculate tile area
At present, tiles on the market can be sold in square meters or square meters, and the area to be tiled should be calculated before buying tiles. Some building materials stores have conversion charts. The number of tiles required can be found based on the area. Some charts can be used to determine tile usage as long as you know the height and width of the tiled wall. Some tile boxes will also list how much a box of tiles can be tiled.
After the total number is calculated, a certain number of spares should be added because it is inevitable that there will be losses when paving. You can also use this formula to roughly calculate the amount of tiles needed: (decorative area ÷ area of ​​each tile) × (1 + 3%), which is the number of tiles required for construction, of which 3% is the amount of construction loss.
If you plan to use bright colored tiles or patterned tiles in plain tiles, you can first design the tiled walls on the chart, which is convenient when estimating the quantity. It is also possible to cut the paper into tile sizes on the wall and figure out the height and width of the paved tile area. Although it takes time to do so, the effect of paving can be seen in advance.
Clear tile style
The style of the tiles should be unified in the style of the entire home decoration. If there are conditions, designers should go shopping together.
In general, single-tone floor tiles extend the overall viewing area and are commonly used in the foyer, living room, dining room, etc. The printed floor tiles have a unique style when the area is large and the space is varied. Glazed tiles are generally used on the floors and walls of kitchens and bathrooms.
Check the quality of ceramic tiles
Master AXing, who was accompanying the reporter, engaged in on-site construction management for many years and has a special set of principles for the purchase of ceramic tiles. He told reporters that when examining ceramic tiles, the focus is on details:
The first is to check the firmness of the outer packaging, including specifications, color numbers, codes, production dates, and site information.
Then, randomly check the tiles, the surface of the glaze is uniform, the texture and the pattern are the same. And draw out four bricks, tiled on the ground to see if the four sides are flat, brick seams are right angles.
Can also touch two tiles, the sound is crisp and loud, better. On the contrary, there are certain quality problems.
In addition, tile building material manufacturers usually recommend how many tons of ceramic tile they press. Indeed, the higher the pressure, the higher the relative density of bricks and the stronger the anti-penetration ability. Therefore, high pressure, high density tiles are usually relatively heavy.
A more practical experiment is to pour the tea or ink on the back of the tile. The sooner it penetrates into the front of the tile, it is obviously not useable.
Tiles, which are usually very easy to penetrate, have their edges cut with hard objects. Most of them have powder. On the contrary, it is not easy to infiltrate, and the side that scratches it only leaves marks of traces, and the traces are fine and there is no powder, which is a good brick.
Tile category
Vitrified tiles: It is understood that the tiles are still the tiles most people choose. Vitrified tiles are actually reinforced tiles, which can solve the problem that the polished tiles are easily dirty. Of course, the price is more expensive.
Summary: Polished tiles and vitrified tiles are bright on the surface and have high wear resistance. However, they have the disadvantages of single color, easy to be dirty, non-slip, and easy to infiltrate colored liquids. They are generally used in living rooms, door courts, etc. and are rarely used in bathrooms. And plenty of water in the kitchen.
Glazed tile: It is the surface that is made by firing together with the glaze. The surface of the glazed tile can be made with various patterns and patterns, which is richer than the color and pattern of the vitrified tile, but the wear resistance is not as good as the vitrified tile. At present, most bricks in Quanzhou are glazed tiles.
The identification index of the glazed tile, in addition to the same size, etc., mainly to see the water absorption rate. Generally good bricks, good press, high density of pressing, high firing temperature, good porcelain, so the water absorption rate is also small.
Summary: Smaller size, generally used in kitchens and bathrooms, rich in color patterns, and tiles that have been treated to prevent slippage.
Microcrystalline stone: This latest ceramic tile has been introduced into the Quanzhou market since 2003. The price is relatively high, but it is favored by consumers because of its smooth surface like a mirror. Ms. Cai said that due to the fact that most of the properties for sale in the previous year were high-end residential properties, sales of microcrystalline stone had even exceeded that of vitrified tiles.
Experts told reporters that there are two types of bricks on the market. One is real crystallized stone. It is a crystal glass brick with a through-body surface. It can be made into special-shaped plates and can be used for decorative cylinders.
The so-called "microcrystalline stone" on the market is another kind of ceramic tile called microcrystalline composite glass. It consists of a layer of blanks and a thin layer of crystallized glass. It is a secondary firing.
This type of microcrystalline brick is delicate in texture and has a good foot feel. It is also resistant to acids and alkalis, and does not fade when it does not absorb. However, the disadvantage is that it is not durable, easy to cut, the secondary firing process requires a higher level of flatness is not enough, even the delamination problems are still to be improved. At the same time, occasional warping and cracking occur during the laying process.
Summary: The price of microcrystalline bricks is relatively high, and the price of each brick market is between 100 yuan and 400 yuan. The appearance of anti-fouling is beautiful, but it is not durable. When consumers choose, they must integrate economic conditions, home style and other factors.
Slate tiles: These types of bricks were often used in some leisure bars, public decoration or walls. They were only adopted by home renovations at the end of 2004.
It has the same properties as a vitrified tile, except that its surface is not polished. Compared with the European style, the pattern has a strong sense of flow, the colors are also more diverse, and the general specifications are smaller.
Summary: Slate tiles should not be fully paved, and are more suitable for use in the recreational areas or functional areas in the house, in order to play the role of finishing touch.
The quality problems of mid- to high-end products currently on the market are not large, the performance is stable, and the after-sales service will be correspondingly better. However, there are many problems with low-grade products. Attracting customers at low prices leads to cutting corners in craftsmanship.
At present, there are four major problems in the existence of tile, as long as the corresponding disadvantages and countermeasures of these major problems, you can generally choose to be satisfied with the product.
Dimensions: Whether the geometrical dimensions are in good or bad relation to the standard, the dimensional error of the tiles will cause the lines to be horizontal and vertical when paving, which affects the appearance of the overall paving.
Countermeasures: Use a tape measure or a caliper to measure the diagonal and four-sided dimensions of the tiles, and whether the thickness is uniform or not. The method of measuring the diagonal line is to use a tape measure to measure two diagonal lines. Take a tile of 80cm×80cm size for example. If the length of one diagonal line is 113.2cm, the length of the other diagonal line should also be Around the range, in general, the diagonal error is normal within 1mm.
Flatness: If the tile is not flat, then the two sides of Yanbian will not be parallel. Flatness will cause construction quality problems, and it will also have a certain influence on the sense of foot.
Countermeasures: If there is no tool at the scene to measure the flatness, there is a simple way: put a brick flat, and put another brick on it to see if there is a warping phenomenon.
Glazed glaze: When ceramic tiles are produced, due to insufficient pressure of the press or insufficient air discharge, and impurities in the clay, etc., glazed glazes can be caused, which can damage the protective layer on the surface of the tile and make it easy to absorb water in the future.
Solution: Look at the surface of the brick from the side where there is light. If the smoother the pore is, the less glazed the tile will be.
Chromatic aberration: Due to the production process, the difference in color and pattern of tile products may be caused. On the other hand, in the construction process, the color difference may also be caused due to the difference in the water absorption rate or the different time of the paving.
Countermeasures: Samples should be compared for all packages, observe the color change, color difference can not be used. Sometimes the color of each box tile will be slightly different, if possible, it is best to buy the same batch of tiles.
