New house decoration is mainly divided into two forms. one is all-inclusive , that is, all matters are included in the decoration company, including the procurement, construction of decoration materials, etc.
There is also a half-package, is responsible for purchasing things and handing them over to the decoration company for construction.
However, no matter what kind of decoration form it is, there is one link that must be paid attention to. Once completed, it will be very troublesome to change it, that is, the choice of ceramic tiles.
When you go to the tiles market, you will find that there are so many types of tiles in that are dazzling, and the prices of tiles of and different types of tiles vary greatly.
The cheapest piece of ceramic tiles costs only 10 or 20 yuan per piece, but the expensive piece costs 5 or 600 yuan per piece. A layman must ask, what is the difference between the price difference? Is the tiles of 30 blocks necessarily worse than those of 300 blocks?
Next, I will analyze the difference between the two tiles from four aspects as an owner who has installed 3 houses.
. Different sizes and prices are different
There are so many differences in ceramic tiles, and the easiest difference to see is the size. Take big bricks as an example. There are two main types on the market: one is 800*800 tiles, and the other is 750*1500 tiles.
All brands will definitely refer to the size when pricing. Basically, tiles with 750*1500 specifications are much more expensive than tiles with 800*800 specifications. As owners, it is easy for us to understand the price difference between them.
Because large-sized tiles are stuck on the floor, not to mention the number of required, there are fewer gaps after completion, and it is more convenient to clean. The most important thing about is that the effect of laying large-sized tiles will be more advanced.
. Different types and prices also differ
Do you have such experience? When purchasing tiles or other items, the sales tell us a bunch of proper terms that we don’t understand.
At that time, the editor was simply confused by the various sales terms sold, such as , , porcelain tiles, , glazed tiles, and marble tiles, , rock slabs, , etc., , but I also did a lot of homework.
first of all, polished tiles and glazed tiles. These two common tiles are definitely a little lower than the price of whole bricks , and the price of rock slabs is higher than the first three.
There is also a material called "microcement", which is also more popular at the moment, and its price is higher than that of rock slabs.
But there is one thing worthy of recognition. Although these tiles sound tall, they are actually tiles in essence. Once you know the production process of different types of tiles, you will know what I mean.
The so-called whole-body marble tiles, imitates the marble texture during the production of glazed tiles. The method is actually very simple, which is to add some coloring materials to the blank of the tiles.
rock slabs also sound quite high-end. The method is to add stone powder , quartz stone and other things to the clay, then press it with a 10,000-ton press, and then fire it at ultra-high temperature. There is nothing special about raw materials.
In short, although there are many types of ceramic tiles, they are all things on the floor. must not be fooled by the merchant's gimmicks. can choose the style you like according to your own budget. Anyway, the ones you buy are all "ceramic tiles".
. Difference in water absorption
The level of water absorption is a standard for judging the quality of tiles. The lower the water absorption tiles, the better the quality; On the contrary, tiles with high water absorption are prone to seeping, and the quality is a little worse.
But in fact, we don’t need to pursue low water absorption too much, after all, this standard does not have much impact on our daily lives.
This is because the press level of pressing rock slabs is between 20,000 and 30,000 tons, and the tiles produced naturally have higher density. has low water absorption and is not easy to seep, and the advantages of are naturally here.
Rock slabs have a water absorption of less than 0.02%, and ordinary ceramic tiles are around 0.3%. Ordinary ceramic tiles do not require such a high tonnage press at all, so the density is naturally a little worse.
So the difference between ceramic tiles and rock slabs is mainly in the pressing process. Ordinary ceramic tiles can also be used for floor laying, while high-density rock slabs are generally widely used in kitchen countertops, and can effectively avoid some dirty things from dirtying the countertops.
. Brand premium issue
As we all know, the decoration industry is very deep, especially in terms of brand premium, big brands of ceramic tiles invest more in advertising. The so-called wool comes from sheep, and the premium of these brands of ceramic tiles is naturally higher.
In the decoration field, whether you choose a big brand or a small brand, it is actually OK. If you prefer a brand, you can naturally consider a little more expensive one.
However, is undoubtedly the more expensive the tiles, the more brand premium it contains. It does not mean that the more famous the brand is, the better the quality of the tiles.
For ordinary families, if they don’t want to pay this IQ tax, dozens of tiles per piece is enough. is something that is under their feet after all. If it is too expensive, it is a bit wasteful.
[Written at the end of the article ]
It is recommended that you choose 800×800 glazed tiles when decorating the tiles. The price per piece is about 60 yuan. Generally, families should not pursue high-end tiles too much, such as rock slabs, microcement, microcrystalline , etc., there is no need to invest.
Because after you move in, you will find that a large part of the tiles in the living room will be blocked by the coffee table and sofa, while the bedroom will be blocked by the big bed, so choosing ordinary tiles is enough.
In addition, it is recommended that you try to choose the origin of from Guangdong, where the quality of the tiles is more guaranteed.
