The 37th Foshan Ceramics Expo is underway! For many friends who are seeing the exhibition for the first time, they don’t know where to start with the rows of dazzling ceramic tiles. How to choose suitable ceramic tiles that you like is probably a headache for many people.
If you want to have fun at the Ceramics Expo and select high-quality tiles, the following nanny-level tutorial is not to be missed. Today, Xiaojiu will teach you how to find satisfactory ceramic tiles~
01
Observation - "Look"
WATCH
When we choose ceramic tiles, the most intuitive way to distinguish whether they are good or bad is to look at their appearance. When viewed from a close distance, the appearance of the ceramic tiles is uniform and complete in color, and the patterns and colors are clear and beautiful.
Under sufficient light, place the tiles 1 meter away and observe vertically. There should be no obvious glaze defects and no color difference in the product.
When observing the size deviation of ceramic tiles, you can place the same batch of products vertically on a flat surface and directly compare them with the naked eye to see if there are any unevenness.
Observe the cutting periphery. If there is no warping, it means that the product has good flatness and is easy to construct. The brick surface will be smooth and beautiful after paving.
02
Touch - "Listen"
LISTEN
If you want to choose good quality ceramic tiles, you must also learn to identify the sounds emitted by the ceramic tiles.
You can gently tap the tiles with a hard object and listen carefully. If the sound is crisp and clear, it means that the density and hardness of the bricks are high and the quality is good; if the sound is dull and muddy, then it is best not to choose such tiles.
03
Test - "Drip"
DRIP
If we want the ceramic tiles we buy to be more durable, we must check the water absorption rate of the ceramic tiles.
Especially for flood-prone areas such as bathrooms and bathrooms, if the tiles are not selected properly, mold, cracks, etc. will easily appear over time.
Drop a few drops of water on the surface of the ceramic tile. If the water droplets spread out and are absorbed very slowly, it proves that the water permeability is low, the density is tight, and the quality is good.
04
Wiping - "Painting"
WRITE
The anti-fouling ability of ceramic tiles is also a point of special concern for many young families. Even more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of easy cleaning.
So, when we go to buy ceramic tiles, we can bring an oil-based pen , draw on the surface of the ceramic tiles, and then wipe it with a paper towel or cloth.
If the tile is easy to wipe off, it means that the ceramic tile has good anti-fouling ability and is easy to clean when doing housework without too much effort. It is especially suitable for kitchens and other places. If there is still a faint mark after wiping it several times, you should think twice before purchasing. .
No matter which of the above four steps of "Looking and Listening to Paintings", 90+ is not afraid of any test, especially the 90+ plain skin tiles that take "cleaning easier" as the core standard of the product, no matter what kind of stains and oils, it will It can be wiped easily. Friends are welcome to come and test it on site.
If you memorize the above four points, you will no longer have to worry about choosing ceramic tiles at the Ceramics Expo! The above is what Xiaojiu shared today. Have you learned it?
