What tiles to use for the kitchen and bathroom, how to choose tips

1. Selection skills for kitchen and bathroom tiles:

First, the classification of ceramic tiles should be clarified, only by understanding the types of tiles, in order not to be fooled when choosing tiles. Tiles are generally divided into two categories from appearance, namely glazed tiles and non-glazed tiles. Glazed tiles are generally used in kitchens and bathrooms, while non-glazed tiles are mainly used in areas such as living rooms.

The professional angle is divided according to the water absorption rate of the tile. In general, the lower the water absorption, the better the quality, the better the decorative effect, and the more comfortable it is to use.

Second, choose the right material, kitchen, bathroom, balcony and other areas, most of the floor tiles are matte and non-slip tiles to prevent the soup and water from making the ground slippery, so the choice of floor tiles is the first place. At present, the more common specifications are mainly 100, 100 and 600. Living rooms, aisles and outdoor walkways are generally selected with specifications of more than 600 600, and the material selection surface is relatively wide, which is mainly determined according to the economic affordability of consumers.

Third, pay attention to brand technology, the design style and color of domestic ceramic tile brands, etc., has been in line with international standards, manufacturing technology and technology has been very mature. Among the building materials products that are higher than the national standard and the European standard, ceramic tiles are one of the few building materials products. Some domestic products are not inferior to well-known foreign brands, but the price is much lower.

2. Four steps to choose kitchen and bathroom tiles

A look: the color of the tile should be uniform, the surface finish and flatness should be good, the surrounding rules should be regular, the pattern should be complete, and a few pieces should be extracted from the same packaging box, and there should be no defects such as color difference, deformation, lack of edges and corners.

Second listening: Tap with a hard object, the crisper the sound, the higher the degree of porcelainization, and the better the quality. You can also clip the corner of the tile with the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the left hand, hang down easily, and tap the middle and lower part of the tile with the index finger of the right hand.

Three tests: drop the water on the back of the tile, see the speed of infiltration after the water spreads, generally speaking, the slower the water absorption, the greater the density of the tile, the better the quality; On the contrary, the faster the water absorption, the sparse density, and its quality is not as good as the former.

Four quantities: the higher the accuracy of the side length of the tile, the better the effect after paving, buying high-quality tiles is not only easy to construct, but also can save man-hours and accessories. Use a tape measure to measure the size of each tile and whether there is any difference in the periphery, and the high accuracy is the best.
