Bathroom tiles are the tiles in the bathroom, toilet. The purchase of bathroom tiles is very important, because the bathroom is full of water and it is easy to hide dirt. How to choose bathroom tiles? Next, let’s take a look at the main points of bathroom tile purchase.
1. Tile water absorption
Water absorption is the first thing to consider when purchasing ceramic tiles for bathroom space. Generally speaking, high-quality tiles have low water absorption, which allows them to dry quickly. If the tile does not indicate the water absorption rate, you can use tea or water droplets on the back of the tile, and observe the degree of diffusion of the water droplets after a few minutes. The less water absorption, the lower the water absorption rate and the better the quality. Tiles with high water absorption will cause cracks on the surface of the tiles and peeling of the entire wall and floor tiles after thermal expansion and contraction.
2. Tile texture density
The quality requirements of the ceramic tiles themselves are more stringent when purchasing ceramic tiles for bathroom space. When purchasing ceramic tiles, you can observe from the side whether the tile surface is flat and whether there are pinholes with uneven thickness. At the same time, you can tap the tiles to hear whether the sound is crisp, the crisper the sound, the higher the texture density and the better the hardness of the tiles. Such tiles are not easy to be damaged, but also easy to maintain and clean when laid in the bathroom space.
3. Brick surface glazing degree
When purchasing, it can be identified by judging the thickness of the glaze layer on the surface of the tile. Consumers can scratch the surface of the brick with a hard object. If scratches appear, it means that the glazing is insufficient. After the thin glaze layer on the tile surface is polished, the tile surface is easy to hide dirt, difficult to clean, and lack of safety. And some unglazed floor tiles are generally not suitable to be laid in a humid and airtight environment, because the pores on the bricks absorb water vapor and cannot disperse, which will also lead to the appearance of mold.
