Is it OK to use vitrified tiles for bathrooms?

Vitrified brick is made of polishing on the surface of the brick after the brick embryo is fired at high temperature and high pressure. Vitrified tiles have good flatness and gloss and belong to the polished tile family.

The biggest difference between vitrified tiles and polished tiles is mainly reflected in the degree of porcelainization. The production requirements of corrugated bricks are higher, the press is required to be better, the density can be pressed, the temperature is higher during firing, and the whole porcelain can be achieved. Generally speaking, polished tiles have a poor degree of porcelain and are ceramic products that have not been burned through.

Poor permeability of vitrified bricks is a misunderstanding Vitrified tiles have been used in the design of many bathrooms.

It can be simply understood that the corrugated brick is the strengthened polishing turn. The surface of vitrified tiles generally no longer needs polishing treatment to be very bright, and the anti-fouling performance is much higher than that of ordinary polished tiles, which can solve the problem of easy dirtiness when polishing to a certain extent. Of course, due to the higher firing requirements of corrugated bricks, the cost is higher than that of polished bricks, so the price is relatively expensive.

Most people think that vitrified tiles have poor permeability, but in fact, they are misconceptions. Vitrified bricks are made of soil embryos and soil materials after high temperature firing. The vitrified bricks that are ground under high pressure have a larger arrangement structure than water molecules, so there is a possibility of penetration.

However, the current vitrified tile manufacturers generally do antifouling treatment before the ceramic tile leaves the factory, that is, wax has been applied on the surface of the tile, which can well seal the fine pores on the surface of the ceramic tile and play a good role in anti-fouling and anti-seepage.

Reasonable selection of materials The ingenious layout of the bathroom is refreshing and full of life.

Vitrified bricks are not necessarily all full-body, and the whole body of vitrified bricks only accounts for a small part of the vitrified bricks. Most of them are not all-over. For example, the seepage series and the ultra-fine powder series produced by many manufacturers are not completely all-in, and of course there is no need to be completely all-in.

Many of them have gone through many processes to form the texture of the surface, but this will not affect the wear resistance of vitrified tiles.

It is not recommended to use vitrified tiles in the bathroom, because the unique microporous structure of vitrified tiles is its fatal flaw. Generally, after the vitrified brick is laid, the brick surface should be waxed, and polished after 3 times of waxing. After every 3 months or half a year to wax, if not waxed, then water will seep into the brick body from the micropores of the brick surface, if it is colored water, then these colors will seep into the brick surface and stay in the brick body, forming a flower brick.

If it is not waxed, the luster of the brick surface will gradually turn black, affecting the appearance. Therefore, the maintenance of vitrified bricks takes some work.

Advantages: noble tone, elegant texture, stable performance, high strength, wear resistance, low water absorption, acid and alkali resistance, small color difference. This product does not contain radon, various physical and chemical properties are relatively stable, in line with the requirements of environmental protection and development, and is a better porcelain product to replace natural stone.

It is widely used in living rooms, courtyards and other places.

Disadvantages: The color and texture are relatively simple, and they are not slippery enough. Due to its small water absorption, it is easy to hollow and fall off when making wall tiles.
