Everyone goes to the building materials city to pick tiles is a poor job, not only tired, but also unusually tangled, so many colors, a lot of types, quality benefits can not be distinguished, in the end to choose which, really compare laborious. How to choose the color, it depends on you to choose, I really can’t help, choose the type, you can see our previous article: the first lesson of floor tile purchase a map to let you understand the classification of floor tiles, tell you in detail the advantages of various floor tiles. In this article, I will tell everyone how to quickly identify the advantages and disadvantages of ceramic tiles after you have the possible choice limitations of ceramic tiles.
Let’s talk about the common situation when everyone picks up tiles, when you ask your buddy whether this floor tile is strong or not, he usually tilts up a corner of the floor tile, and then stands up and says to you: “You see, I stand on the brick is not cracked, the quality is absolutely excellent.” You go into every tile store, and they use it to prove how hard their floor tiles are. I am very serious about telling everyone that almost the regular products on the market can achieve this effect, and the quality benefits of floor tiles cannot be truly identified in this way. In this way, it is like testing a car to drive, but not to test how fast it accelerates. The following teach everyone some simple and easy to operate ways to judge the difference in the quality of tiles.
First, look at the origin
Almost all the tiles on the market come from two places: Guangdong and Shandong. The overall quality of Guangdong bricks is better than that of Shandong bricks, and the origin of domestic big brands of tiles is also usually from Guangdong, so it is simple to choose Guangdong bricks. (Shandong brick also has good quality, but it needs more fire eyes).
Second, look at the flatness
The flatness is abnormal, if the flatness is very poor, it is difficult to lay the edge of each tile without a drop, and the drop is not only affected by the visual effect, but even causes the serious (gè). The condition of the foot.
Third, look at the appearance
Before looking at the appearance, be sure to look at the store’s lighting, lighting color, brightness differences, will cause a large visual difference. If necessary, the floor tile can be moved to the outdoor carefully, and the original color of the tile can be restored at the maximum flood level. First of all, of course, choose your favorite color, and then carefully look at the shortcomings and defects outside.
When looking at the appearance, the most important thing to pay attention to is the small flaw outside the floor tile, which is a problem that even large brands of tiles will arise. If the flaw is very small or very few (several bricks have one) can be negligible.
The appearance should also pay attention to the corner of the floor tile there is no bump situation, the glaze of the corner of the floor tile is the most cowardly, and the quality of the enamel is not good. Although the business will not have damaged bricks can be opened two packages of floor tiles to see each corner situation, if only the individual floor tiles have corner bumps, it is acceptable, because in the paving, the history of thick tile will be placed on the edge of the ground, will be the problem side cut off, does not affect the use of.
Four, look at the weight
The same size of the floor tile, the greater the weight, the better the quality, which is a simple and rough and useful way to choose. Good quality large floor tiles (800mm*800mm) a pack of three, an adult male who is not often tempered is difficult to move alone. (I belong to the category of extreme lack of tempering, two Nobel 800mm*800mm floor tiles I alone can not lift)
Weight reference: an 800mm*800mm tile is about 30 pounds to 40 pounds, a 600mm*600mm tile is about 12 pounds to 18 pounds, a 300mm*300mm tile is about 3 pounds to 5 pounds.
5. Listen to the sound
Tap with a hard object (like a key you carry with you), the louder the sound, the higher the porcelain level and the better the quality. You can also hold a corner of the tile with your finger, so that the tile hangs down, and tap the lower part of the tile with the other hand, the clearer the sound, the better the quality.
This way may be false, everyone should listen to a few pieces of price difference between the rest of the floor tiles, only gas has accurate judgment ability.
Six, look at water absorption
At the back of the tile, look at the speed of water absorption after the water spread, as usual, the slower the water absorption, the greater the density of the tile, the better the quality. The floor tile should not absorb water, if the floor tile absorbs water, and the water stains can be seen from the front, it means that the quality is very poor, absolutely can not buy. Wall tiles have a certain water absorption rate, it is difficult to use this way to test, but now the wall tiles and floor tiles are basically sold, floor tiles pass, wall tiles are no big problem.
Seven, test skid resistance
This may be a large department of tile shop buddy will also show you, let you directly outside the floor tile, feel slippery or not, but everyone think about it, what circumstances will slide on the floor tile? There should be a moment of water, some bricks outside a water will be unusually slippery, will fall, in order to be in the test moment should be outside the brick with a little water to simulate the true shape, and must personally step on the brick to try, some bricks with water will be more slippery, some bricks with water will be more anti-slip, recommend this kind of.
