What should I pay attention when choosing wall tiles?

Wall tiles are indispensable part of the material when decorating at home, kitchen and bathroom walls will use marble wall tiles, and some living room television background wall will choose to paste wood wall tiles as decoration, which is enough to illustrate the universality and importance of Wall tiles. Most people make mistakes when choosing wall tiles.

Think that bright tiles can enhance indoor lighting. Most families and office buildings tend to use brighter tiles for decoration, because bright tiles not only make the room look rich and bright, but also to some extent make up for the lack of daylighting. Bright polished tiles and some rustic tiles have a light reflection coefficient of up to 90%, while ordinary white walls have a light reflection coefficient of about 70% and a mirror glass of about 80%. If long-term living in a room with a smooth floor tiles environment, light reflection will make the eyes very tired, and even lead to visual function decline, so domestic tiles not recommended to use too bright tiles.

Do not blindly match the waist line. In daily household decoration, the edge of the wall is often decorated with waist line tiles. It can add a sense of hierarchy to the space visually, and reflects the owner’s personality, taste and interest in life. It is quite popular with the public. However, it should be noted that although the personality is very beautiful, but the waistline tiles are not always applicable.

There are two common cases that are not suitable for paving the waist line: first, the height of the bathroom is not enough, paving the waist line will make the overall space is divided, the original not high bathroom appears even lower. Second, the kitchen area is small, or the use of the entire bathroom cabinet family, cabinet height and waist line height are almost 80-90 cm, waist line just appeared on the top of the bathroom cabinet counter not only no decorative effect but also messy.

Thick small tiles are better than thin marble tiles. Many home decoration tiles are thicker and better quality, so consumers tend to form an inherent idea that thicker things are more realistic, in fact, the market of thick floor tile than thin bathroom tiles are more attractive, and the specifications of the larger floor tiles thicker, and the same specifications of floor tiles than wall tiles thicker. As far as the use value is concerned, the greatest value of bathroom tiles or decorative effect, as long as the carrying capacity and anti-destruction ability to meet the standards, too thick floor tiles are not actually environmentally friendly.

The styles of tiles are too mixed. Whether it is avant-garde or national style, too chaotic wood tiles are not suitable for a daily living environment, with more patterns and colors as the standard to purchase tiles. Finally, it is easy to decorate a pot of chaotic stew of the home, colorful, beautiful design is not the same as suitable for your home, but will cause a sense of living discomfort.

Whether there is any smell in home tiles, and whether there is any pungent harmful substance in the initial judgement. Ask the brand history about the tiles for sale, after-sales service, user evaluation, quality assurance and other information.

The vibration frequency of floor tiles, gently tap the bathroom tiles with fingers, feel whether the vibration is consistent, if not coherent, there may be small cracks in the middle of the home tiles.

The larger size floor tiles, and the larger size of the floor tile weight is relatively large, the direct spread of the wall, when the interior of the floor tile design is easy to fall off, forming a safety hazard. Use metal glue to attach metal sheet to the back of ceramic floor tile and reinforce it with steel nails on the wall. Or it can also be constructed by dry hanging, which is much more safer. When the tiles price splicing, the gap is inevitable, the gap is too big to look ugly, the gap is small and afraid of heat expansion and broken edge, usually wall tiles left and right in the 1-1.5, the construction attention to the plane, do not have high and low.

The floor tile suppliers upper wall is the popular paving method now, especially since the house or villa is built, so that it can decorate the atmosphere, beautiful, and some grades. marble Wall tiles and gray floor tiles are also different in paving methods. Because the wall tile has a high moisture content, so it should be fully watered before sticking, soak for more than 2 hours before construction, so as to avoid the moisture of the mortar is quickly absorbed by the dry base and floor tile colors quickly condensing, thus affecting the fastness of its bond.

The tiles will absorb moisture from cement, so that cement can not play the role of paste. In addition, different brands of wall floor tiles have different water absorption, which depends on the experience of construction personnel. The tiles design on the floor are difficult to lay up, and the corresponding labor costs are high, and the cost of the decoration is increased, especially in the large area of the floor tiles.

The kitchen wall tiles are the same as the floor tiles, which are coherent, uniform and uniform in color and texture, bringing the feeling of simplicity. But the high-end hotel or middle and big home space, the same love to use the use of wall climbing this product application, but the tiles are mostly marble tiles, full body polished glaze tiles, these big size wall tiles, generally do not use supporting products, processing and cutting after the use of on the wall, more extravagant style.

A Small Coup In Selecting High Quality Tiles

View color: in the light good environment, observe the brick surface whether there are color difference, leakage, sliding marks, cracks, cracks, porcelain missing, color dirty and other defects, whether the color is bright. There is no obvious defect on the surface of the high quality product, the color is bright and uniform, and the size is regular.

Listening: tapping the brick body by hand, carefully identifying whether the sound is crisp and pleasant, and having metal sound ceramic tile, brick body density is high, sintering is good. If the sound is rough and dull, the sintering degree of brick body is low and the density is not high. Knock the sound hoarse, then this kind of polishing brick is inferior products, brick body may exist cracks.

Weigh: weigh by hand, feel heavy or not, sink to high density, strong hardness, on the contrary, poor texture.
Test the water: put a small amount of ink or tea on the brick surface for two minutes, then rinse with water or wipe with cloth, to see whether the residual traces are obvious. Traces clearly indicate the quality is general, otherwise the quality is better.

In short, polished quality has four elements: look, to shine; listen to the sonorous; a weigh heavy, strong; try, low water absorption rate.
