The side section of ceramic floor has obvious cross cutting pattern, which is usually made by small factories in production equipment. If we touch with our hands, we can also feel that the tiles are smooth and delicate. The tiles with poor quality has a rough texture on the side of the touch.

The difference between porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles is that the firing time and temperature are different. The difference is water absorption. The water absorption of porcelain floor tiles is very low, and it does not absorb water basically, ceramic floor tiles have obvious water absorption. Semi ceramic tiles design are also called ceramic wall tiles, which are far less dense than all tiles. They are not strong enough to resist pressure and impact. In daily home life, if you accidentally drop something onto the floor, the porcelain will easily be removed from the glaze, once the glazed surface is destroyed, it can not be repaired. If you choose porcelain tiles as wall tiles, remember that when laying tiles: Do not use cement. Make sure you use strong tile adhesive. Because marble porcelain tiles will be peeling off with cement paste, and the tile glue should not be mixed with cement paving, otherwise, the tiles will fall off later.

Floor tiles were first popular in pure color paving, and then developed lace patterns, patterns and dark patterns. With no more space for the pattern tiles, The designer began to work on the Tile’s figure . Some special tiles design always give people a very high and expensive feeling. In fact, there may not be a great difference in the price of tiles, but because of this unique beauty, it is very touching. Compared with the regular square tiles, the six corner tiles can be smart and simple. A large area of pure color paving makes the space simple and luxurious. Help you easily concavity out of the light luxury kitchen and bathroom. If you want to break the low tone of pure color, try random paving.

How to choose tiles for home decoration?

Tile is one of the most important materials in our family decoration. It can be used on the floor and wall. Some of them are also used in the kitchen stove. Therefore, the selection and matching of tiles can affect the effect of the whole decoration. It even affects people’s daily life. Therefore, for tiles to be selected, we first need to know the tiles from the following points.

Polished tiles are one of the most commonly used tiles. Because the surface of the tiles (3-4mm thickness of the fabric layer) is polished, it has the characteristics of bright, high hardness, wear resistance and scratch resistance. However, they are usually not tolerant of dirt, and are commonly used in public areas such as living rooms and restaurants.

The polished glazed tile is painted on the surface of the embryo body (porcelain clay and Tao Tu) with a thickness of about 0.1mm-0.2mm thick. It can be classified into full polished tile and semi glazed tiles. Full polished glazed tiles are flat, smooth, and bright. The semi polished tiles are concave and convex, and the convex areas are glazed, while the concave ones are not glazed. Its advantages are rich in color, rich in texture, and resistant to dirt, but the abrasion resistance is not strong. In addition to the kitchen, bathroom, balcony, other places are applicable.

Polished tiles are actually one of full body polished tiles. As the name suggests, the whole body is the same color and material as the bottom. If the surface is polished, it is a polished tile. The full body tile has the advantages of good wear resistance, which is often used in indoor and outdoor walls and floors. glazed rustic tile belongs to glazed tile, glaze on the surface of porcelain tile, deliberately making an old antique effect. For example, the year’s ring, the history of vicissitudes and so on, the glazed rustic tile has the advantages of anti slip, and often used in the kitchen, toilet, balcony, of course, can also be used in the guest restaurant, bedroom and so on.

The first impression of wall tile is that its size is small, smooth and bright, and often used on walls. Besides, what we need to know is that it is different from other tiles. The first is the thickness of the wall tile, the thickness of the wall tiles should be thin. The second is that the location used is different, the wall tile is used on the wall, and the tile can be used on the wall and the ground. The third manifestation is that the service life is different, the wall tiles should be short, and the tiles should be long. The fourth is that the water absorption rate is different, and the water absorption rate of the wall tiles is much higher. Therefore, it is important to note that when wall tiles are used, tiles must be water soaked, otherwise it will absorb the moisture of cement and cause problems such as warping and shedding.

Mosaic tiles include ceramic and glass. Glass mosaic tiles are a piece of tile made of small pieces of tile, so its color and style are rich and can create a warm family atmosphere, which can show the owner’s personality and taste well. And as long as you want to get the result, it can make an effect. In addition, it can be widely used in many places, and can also be used as a cross stone, a background wall, etc.

Microcrystalline stone tile is a new type of building material. The main method is to compounded glass ceramics on vitrified stone. With a strong gloss and permeability, the effect is also more grade, luxury, and the price is more expensive, so it is often used in the TV background wall.

Besides, there are other tiles, such as the wood tile, which we often used, on the surface of our traditional tiles, by a certain process to make its surface with a natural pattern of wood tiles. According to own needs, you can choose tiles suitable for your own homes.

It bloomed in a special era, and gradually disappeared with the changes of the times. Be the regrettable and forgetting after the flourishing.


The beauty of colourful tiles can be very publicized, and it can also be very introverted. It is an unavoidable surprise to make pure and extensive representations. Mixed with wood tiles, creating a quiet and smart space, as a background wall, makes the whole space more colorful. Each type of colourful tile has unique texture and shape, making the visual focus of space easy. On the small ceramic tile, the colorful splendor color, the decoration prominent pattern, lets the family change the literature and art fan for a second.


The walls of the kitchen are almost covered with tiles, which are generally monotonous. Mainly based on practicability, neglecting the effect of decoration, so there are not many characteristics. If the entire wall is a single color tile decoration, it is inevitable that some boring, let people visual fatigue. If you use decorative tiles to form a visual contrast with other monochromatic tiles, you can easily create visual focus.
The laying of floor tiles can not only lay the tone for the design of the whole space, but also give play to the unique atmosphere of the individual. It can be used for large area surface laying as well as partial use, with the effect of dividing space. It is even possible to extend the floor tiles to the wall boldly, causing strong visual impact to leave a bright impression on people.

Colourful floor tiles are similar to ordinary carpet, but they are easy clean than carpet. You will find that the colors patterns tiles of each tile have artistic expression.

What is the preparatory work for the tile paving?

The tile paving is small and small. It seems to be very small. It seems to be very simple. It seems that there will be no big event, but it is always annoying if it is done. Details are very important, many of the problems, in fact, are not done in some details, tile paving is the same, with everyone to share some tiles paving, some often ignored small details.

The wall should be dealt with well. Some walls are cracked, or walls are connected to other materials, such as cement walls and woodworking boards. Before laying tiles, it is necessary to connect the wall cracks with wire mesh, then reinforce with cement, and then lay up tile again, so as to avoid cracking of later ceramic tiles.

Whether the tile needs water or not, it is necessary to see the specific situation. In the use of ordinary cement mortar paving, some of the higher water absorption of pottery tiles, that is what we usually say wall tiles, that is the need for water, and must bubble foot. And some floor tiles with low water absorption, such as polished tiles, marble tiles, etc., do not soak water, whether they stick to the ground or on the wall. There is another case. If it is paved with ceramic floor tile, no matter whether it is tile or floor tile, it needs no water. When the water is needed, you should pay attention to it. Every batch of tile time is as much as possible, and the water used is as clean as possible so as to avoid the color difference after the paving. There is also a point, the need to make water tiles as much as necessary to bubble water, how much to use in advance to bubble how much, especially when put to the back, do not make a whole body to bubble, if the bubble is not finished, it is unable to return.

About the powder of the tile billet. Magnesium Oxide and magnesium carbonate are a high temperature resistant white powder. Generally, the ceramic kiln floor tiles are at the highest temperature of more than 1200 degrees, when the tile bottom is close to melting (the expression may be inaccurate, but the tile embryo is soft). In order to avoid sticky stick of tile embryo and kiln, using the characteristics of high temperature resistance of Magnesium Oxide and magnesium carbonate, before the tile embryo entered the kiln, a layer of Magnesium Oxide pulp was brushed on the bottom of the embryo to play the role of isolation. This will avoid sticking sticky tiles and sticks in high temperature kilns. Therefore, sometimes we will find that there are many powders at the bottom of the billet, and we should try to remove the white powder before paving. Otherwise, it will cause the cement mortar to be stuck to the tile, causing the hollowing off.

Many people think that it is a waste of time to per pave tiles before paving. In fact, the old pottery people think that the front row of tile is to spend a little time, but in the row of tiles, can avoid the generation of some of the following problems, for example, when the tile, can look at the tiles of the supporting waist line, tile or processing tile and the main tiles with the main tile? Besides, there are obvious defects on the main tile surface, whether there is chromatic aberration, whether the size error is large or not. In front of the tiles, the old pottery also hopes that the owner can take out every tile that is to be used, and give a detailed account of the position, quantity and special requirements of the paving, which can avoid the paving error.

Before paving, we must clean up the wall. Before we scrape the putty wall, we need to shovel the putty and lay the tiles again. Otherwise, it will easily cause the hollow drum to fall off. If you want to use tile glue to paste the tiles later, you must make the wall level. If we use ordinary cement mortar to paste, we should pay attention to the proportion of cement sand, tile 1:3, floor tile 1:2, cement grade 32.5 cement. If the floor tiles are on the wall, it is suggested that tile glue or adhesive should be used for paving, so as to avoid the drums falling off later.

Why do you need to remove wax before paved the tile?

When polishing tile, glaze tile, microcrystalline stone tile and other bright face tiles, many people will have such experience, think that the tiles construction is finished on the ground, is this true right? In fact, there is a very important process after the tile is completed, that is, wax removal, but it is such a simple process that is often easily ignored.
The ceramic tiles will be beforehand treated before they go out of the factory. The wax treatment is mainly to prevent the tile from accidental damage in the future, and the thick surface of the wax is also the main cause of the tile dark light, so the wax layer can be well restored to the original gloss of the ceramic floor tiles, but also the wax is also available. In order to improve the antifouling performance of the ceramic tile surface, the uniform wiping of the wax can well fill the small pores on the surface of the ceramic tile, and make the anti fouling molecular distribution more uniform on the surface of the antifouling layer, thus improving its antifouling performance and wear resistance.

Wax removal can restore the gloss of ceramic flooring, improve the antifouling performance and enhance the wear resistance. The main method of removing wax for ceramic tiles is surface wiping.
Commonly used materials: double fly powder, washing powder, flour, wax powder, powder and other powder, generally recommended to use double fly powder, double fly powder is also widely used to remove wax, the main chemical composition of the double fly powder is calcium carbonate, but also contains a small amount of magnesium carbonate, double fly powder itself is no toxic, no harm to the human body, but the removal of wax needs Attention should be paid to avoiding inhalation of dust and protective mask when operating. The surface of the ceramic tiles is cleaned first, and the wax is scattered under the condition of dry surface, such as several kinds of wax removal materials mentioned above, and then wiped with a rag or dry towel.

After the polishing process, the floor tiles, generally its surface must be treated with wax, and then add a layer of plastic film to cover the surface of the ceramic tile with the same size as the size of the ceramic tile; its function is to prevent the spillover of the wax layer and stabilize the wax layer on the surface of the tile; two, as the wax is an organic chemical, if it is an organic substance. For a long time exposure in the air will be oxidized, causing the wax layer to solidify on the surface of the ceramic tile and increase the unnecessary process in the later period. Three, the ceramic tile and the ceramic tile are isolated, and the tiles and the tiles are both faced and back between the tiles and the tiles in order to avoid the surface of the tiles before packing. The rules are stacked, and the plastic film plays a good role in isolating tiles when stacking in the face of the specifications.

If the tile is paving, it will not tear off the plastic film. It may cause the tile plastic film to be hard to tear off after the completion of the tile, and it will greatly increase the workload. At the same time, it is easy to cause the unnecessary after sale problem, so it must be plastic before the tile with plastic film is paving. The film is torn off, and this action is absolutely beneficial without harm, and this step is also the key.

In fact, the plastic film on the surface of the glazed ceramic tile is only one of the packing layer, the real product is the ceramic tile. The plastic film plays a very small role in preventing the scraping, because the plastic film is the polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene chemical composition material, which itself is the material with low hardness, brittle and weak, so the surface of the ceramic tile is plastic. The so-called protective effect of material film in the later stage of ceramic tile construction is not very effective.
After the tile application is laid on the ground, it is necessary to ensure that the surface of the tile is clean and tidy, and the gravel can not be left on its surface. It is suggested that the protective layer, for example, be best used as a carton to cover the ceramic tile surface in all directions.

2, we should also pay attention to the selection of water absorption rate, which is an important indicator of its quality. We can pour some water on the back of the tiles.

What Are The Advantages Of Imitating Marble Tiles?

In the past, most of the tiles were mainly made of matt tiles. Now, with the improvement of the technology, the material has changed to polished tiles. The material and process changes make the brick face look more luxurious and the visual effect is better. Tile texture of natural and fresh, color and natural marble can almost fake true.

Natural marble has many shortcomings, it is not only heavy weight, construction is difficult, but also there is a certain radiation, so people will not be laying a large area in the decoration. But imitation marble tiles broke the limits, it is not only easy to cut, and whether it is in art, mosaic, sculpture, and ground applications are aspects of combination.

The imitation marble tile is a good way to avoid such problems, it is not only very beautiful, but also with high brightness, low water permeability, no radiation and other advantages, more suitable for indoor public space.

How To Reduce The Loss Of Tiling?

First, buy products

There will be many inferior tiles, color deviation is not square in the paving process prone to loss problem. So consumers should try to pick a brand in the market, the purchase of qualified products, but also to ensure customer service, to determine whether a good negotiation can fill, return, replacement, the claim process, once the processing is also more convenient.

Two, accurate measurement of area

Area, paving pattern and loss of the housing, so the number of tiles need to estimate according to these conditions, consumers in the purchase of ceramic tile prior to space size measurement accuracy, to be aware of how much to buy tiles. The smaller the room, the greater the loss, so the size of tiles should also be taken into account, such as ordinary 10-30 square meters of room, generally choose 600*600 mm specifications following tiles, specifications too much more damage.


Three, careful selection of workers

Paving process, the owner good overall supervision, to prevent workers at random cutting tiles or unreasonable use. Skilled workers employ skilled workers, and the technical proficiency of the workers will affect the tiling loss. Skilled workers will also provide owners with cost-effective solutions. Therefore, careful selection of workers is also an important part of reducing consumption.
