1. Choose tiles with low water absorption
In general, high-quality tiles have very low water absorption, which can dry quickly. If the water absorption rate of the tile is not indicated, you can use water droplets on the back of the tile, a few minutes later to observe the diffusion of water droplets, the more water absorption, that is, the lower the water absorption rate, the better quality. The water absorption rate of the bathroom floor tile is generally about 1%.
2, choose high density tile
When purchasing tiles, you can observe whether the brick surface is smooth from the side and whether there are pinholes with uneven thickness. At the same time, the ceramic tile can be tapped to listen to whether the sound is crisp, and the more crisp the sound is, the texture density of the ceramic tile is high and the hardness is better. Such tiles are laid to the bathroom, which is not easy to damage, but also easy to maintain and clean.
3, choose dry and wet decoration
That is, the shower area is separated from the toilet and basin area. Through different tile materials and colors, a good division can be achieved, so that the two do not interfere with each other.
4. Choose light-colored tiles
Light colors can make the bathroom look more spacious and bright. When selecting, place the tile at a distance of 0.8m to see if the color pattern is consistent. Bathroom tile selection pay attention to whether it indicates that it meets the green health standards promulgated by the state and other signs or words, remember not to buy three no tile products.
5, choose a smaller size of the tile
The decorative materials on the floor of the bathroom wall include glazed tiles, vitrified tiles and mosaics. The commonly used specifications of floor tiles are 300*300mm330*330mm. The bathroom is usually 2 to 4 square, even if the bathroom area is large, do not use large floor tiles. Fixed for too large ceramic tile cutting frequency is high, the waste is larger, and it is not convenient to install floor drains, inconvenient ground leveling, resulting in waste.

6. Choose tiles with thick glaze layer
You can use hard objects to scratch the surface of the brick, if there is a scratch, it means insufficient glaze. When the thinner glaze layer on the surface of the tile is polished, the tile surface is easy to hide dirt, more difficult to clean, and lack of safety. And some unglazed floor tiles, generally should not be spread in a damp and closed environment, solid pores on the bricks absorb water vapor and can not diverge, will also lead to mold.
