Many people like to lay tiles when decorating, because compared with wooden floors, tiles are anti-corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, and there are many styles that are not afraid of water or oil stains. The most important thing is that they do not contain formaldehyde and is more environmentally friendly.
However, everyone was in a dilemma when purchasing ceramic tiles: how to choose ceramic tiles, what should you pay attention to, and what is the appropriate price? In this issue, Xiaopai will share some knowledge about "ceramic tiles" with you. If you want to lay tiles, it is recommended that you insist on "5 not laying". It is not misleading, but the experience of experienced people!
1. No tiles with high water absorption rate
Many consumers pay attention to the quality of the tiles when choosing tiles. So how to judge the performance of tiles? "Water absorption rate" is a very critical parameter, which is related to the physical and chemical stability of the tiles.
tiles with high water absorption will absorb moisture from cement mortar when laying, which can easily cause the tiles to fall off and hollow. Therefore, this is why the decoration master will take the tiles to soak them in water before laying the tiles.
The lower the water absorption rate of ceramic tiles, the higher the density, the more stable the physical and chemical properties, and the stronger the laying. Therefore, in general, it is recommended that you choose "full tiles", with the water absorption rate being less than 0.5%, and you can lay them directly without soaking. The laying is more firmer and greatly reduces the probability of falling off.
However, if some families plan to put ceramic tiles on the wall, they should avoid using full tiles. Although it has high density and good performance, due to the low water absorption rate, it cannot be well fixed by laying cement mortar alone. Tile glue or backing glue must be added, which not only increases the cost, but also cannot guarantee environmental protection. If you need to put tiles on the wall, it is recommended that you try to choose other types of tiles.
2. Not laying dark tiles
Gray tiles have been very popular in recent years. Many internet celebrities on the Internet also have gray tiles in their decoration styles. Compared with those white beige tiles that the older generation likes, they are really high-end and pleasing to look at.
But when choosing gray tiles, you must grasp a certain degree, because the single piece of tiles looks different from the effect of laying the whole house, and are related to various factors such as lighting.
If you like gray tiles, just choose light gray, dark gray or dark tiles. It may be very high-end to look at it alone, but the effect of laying on a large area is very depressing. If the lighting is not good, it will easily make the whole house look dark and very gloomy, which will affect your mood.
3. Don’t lay small-sized tiles
. Small spaces like bathrooms, balcony, and kitchens. There are many cases of internet celebrity home bloggers laying small-sized tiles on the Internet, such as small white bricks and internet celebrity small flower tiles. They look beautiful and fresh, and have a good effect. Therefore, many people have begun to follow these small brick designs.
When I really decorated my home and moved in, I realized that the small-sized ceramic tiles only look good at the beginning. After looking at them for a long time, I will easily feel visually tired, tired when I look at them, and it is easy to get out of date.
On the other hand, the labor cost of laying these small-sized tiles is still high, and there are many gaps, which are prone to accumulation of dust, which is particularly troublesome to clean.
So it is recommended that you do not lay small-sized tiles, especially in kitchens, where the oil is heavy, and the gaps in the tiles are prone to hiding dirt. The larger the area of the tiles, the easier it is to clean it!
4. Not laying the same version of the continuous-texture brick
Many people may not know what a continuous-texture brick is, but I believe many people have seen cases of continuous-texture brick rollover.
The texture of ordinary ceramic tiles is relatively random, and the texture between each tiles has no connection; while the texture patterns of connected tiles can be connected to form a continuous texture pattern.
continuous-grained bricks are not bad. The reason for many continuous-grained bricks is, on the one hand, related to the laying process, and on the other hand, the reason is that the version is not selected correctly.
If you choose the same version of the conjunction brick, then the texture of each tiles after laying is the same. Although it looks regular, it is very awkward and has poor visual effect.
If you like conjunction bricks, you should pay attention to choosing conjunctions that do not repeat in different versions. In this way, the effect of the entire pasting will not only make the textures together, but will not have a simple and repetitive visual sense, and the texture is more natural and pleasing.
5. Don’t lay high-priced tiles
Why do you recommend that you not lay high-priced tiles? It’s not that high-priced ceramic tiles are not good, but there’s really no need to spend this money.
The quality and price of ceramic tiles are positively correlated to a certain extent. A dozen tiles are definitely not as good as seventy or eighty tiles, but if the price goes up, will those first-tier brands have tiles that cost hundreds of tiles really be better?
may be better, but the cost performance is not high, and the expensive part of the money comes from the brand premium.
. It is recommended not to buy high-priced tiles. A piece of tile is enough for tens of dollars. It is recommended that you pay more attention to flatness when choosing, put the same four tiles together to see if the position of the four corners of the splicing is flat. The higher the flatness, the worse the laying effect.
[Written at the end]
tiles are very important and have attracted everyone's attention. However, the maintenance after the tiles are laid are often ignored. The hollowing and looseness of many ceramic tiles are caused by improper maintenance.
Xiaopai recommends that you try not to step on the floor tiles within a week after laying them. If it is a particularly dry season, you can sprinkle some water on the floor tiles to keep the surface moist.
