Laymen always like to measure the weight and thickness of tiles with their hands when purchasing, and tend to prefer heavier tiles. In fact, this kind of thinking is one-sided. The quality of tiles is related to its own texture, such as: the density and water absorption of tiles. The higher the density, the better the quality, and the lower the water absorption, the better the quality of the tiles.

Polished tiles are suitable for bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms. In people’s impression, the anti-skid property is poor. In fact, on the contrary, the surface of polished tiles is smooth and clean. The surface of the tiles has been specially treated and has strong anti-slip properties.

The polished tiles can fully contact the soles, which increases the friction resistance between the brick surface and the soles, and has a good anti-slip effect. Therefore, as long as the daily cleaning is done well, it will not affect its slip resistance. Matt tiles are suitable for use in bathrooms. The surface of matt tiles is very smooth. The firing temperature of matt tiles is high. Its advantages are that it does not absorb dirt and is easy to clean. It is very suitable for the choice of tiles in bathrooms.
Misunderstanding 4. No maintenance is required after ceramic tiles are installed
Compared with solid wood flooring, ceramic tiles are not delicate, so many people choose ceramic tiles because they do not require too much maintenance after installation, which saves trouble. Ceramic tiles also need to be maintained, and they need to be used for at least ten years for a decoration. Because the tiles are exposed to the outside and in contact with hard objects for a long time, the surface of the tiles is easily stained and worn in daily life, which not only destroys the appearance of the tiles, but also It is easy to cause the anti-skid performance of the surface to decline, which cannot guarantee safety. In daily life, we can maintain the tiles without deliberately maintaining them in small details in life. For example: if there is oil on the tiles, it should be cleaned in time to ensure that no marks are left, so that the tiles can better exert their practicability.
