How to choose kitchen and bathroom tiles, selection skills

First, look at the appearance.

The color of the tile should be uniform, the surface finish and flatness should be good, the surrounding rules should be regular, the pattern is complete, and four or five pieces should be extracted from a box to see if there are defects such as color difference, deformation, lack of edges and corners.

2. Listen to the sound.

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

3. Drip test.

You can drop water on the back of the tile to see how fast the water soaks after it spreads, generally speaking, the slower the water absorption, the greater the density of the tile; On the contrary, the faster the water absorption, the sparse density, and its intrinsic quality is superior.

Fourth, the measurement. The higher the accuracy of the side length of the tile, the better the effect after paving, and buying high-quality tiles is not only easy to construct, but also can save man-hours and accessories. Use a tape measure to measure whether there is a difference in the size of each tile, and the high accuracy is the top grade.

In addition, observe its hardness, ceramic tiles with good hardness, strong toughness, not easy to break and rot as the top quality. The edges and corners of the tile fragments are scratched on each other, and the broken fragments are inspected to see whether the broken parts are fine or loose, whether they are hard, brittle or soft, whether they leave scratches, or scattered powder.

When buying tiles for the kitchen and bathroom, you need to master the following tips:

Stain resistance tested. Kitchens and bathrooms are easier to get dirty, to choose stain-resistant tiles, you can take an oil-based pen to write on the tiles when purchasing, and then wipe with a paper towel after 3 minutes, which can be wiped off to indicate that it is good to clean and not easy to hang dirt.

Drip test. Kitchen and bathroom water more, to choose waterproof and moisture-proof tiles, the purchase of water drops on the back of the tile, to see the speed of water infiltration, generally speaking, the slower the water absorption, indicating the greater the density of the tile; On the contrary, the faster the water absorption, the sparse density, and the slower the infiltration, the good brick.

Look at the appearance. When choosing tiles, two tiles of the same type are stacked face to face, compare whether the four corners coincide, look at the light, the middle leakage does not leak light, the high quality is not visible light, if the two sizes of the tile are too different from each other, it is recommended not to buy, the higher the accuracy of the side length of the tile, the better the flatness, the better the effect after paving, buy high-quality tiles are not only easy to construct, but also can save man-hours and accessories.
