Recently, a friend @Wang Zhengang was about to buy tiles for home decoration.
Then he told me very excitedly that the ceramic tiles of a first-tier brand, the large tiles of
00×1500 now only cost more than 100 yuan per piece to hold activities. he thought it was very affordable and asked me if I could buy it.
In fact, in real decoration, almost every decorator will encounter such a situation. As a person who has no experience in decoration, when encountering this situation, he may feel that it is "big cheap" and place an order without hesitation.
But in fact, this kind of seemingly "very affordable" activity often makes small profits and suffers big losses.
So, how to choose tiles? Will there be no problems if you buy big brands? Is the more expensive the ceramic tiles, the better?
So in this issue, I will share with you some tips for buying bricks: If you buy tiles again, it is not nonsense to say that "8 are not chosen," but the real experience of those who have experienced it
Do not choose
recommended by "professionals" When you arrive in a tiling store, every salesperson will transform into a "professional" and say a bunch of professional terms, which makes you feel very professional.
▲Silly and can’t tell
Especially when he asks him to recommend tiles for you, they usually say a bunch of useless professional terms, such as whole-body brick , vitrified brick , glazed tiles , polished tiles , porcelain tiles , etc.
Not to mention a person who has no decoration experience, even a designer who has been decorating for more than 20 years is confused.
▲Silly and can’t tell
In fact, these "professional terms" are just some small tricks of sales, they are nothing more than confusing several distinct dimensions into one, so that you don’t know how to choose, so that they can take advantage of the situation.
So when you choose tiles, don’t hear the so-called “professionals” use “professional terms” to fool them. Any tiles with embryo bodies have good or bad, and there is no saying which one or which one is good or which one is bad.
does not select "activity tiles"
is like the situation where a merchant "carries events" when my friend encountered. Usually, more than 200 tiles are only more than 100 now, which feels very affordable. In fact, this kind of thing should be more cautious.
▲Event promotion bricks
Under normal circumstances, even if the tiles of first-tier brands are not as strong as those of activities, if there are special discounts, there will basically be the following problems:
① Clearance of goods. tiles with particularly high discounts are generally outdated tiles that cannot be sold. These tiles have basically been discontinued. If the tiles at home are broken later, it will be difficult to buy the same batch of tiles again.
② There are fewer colors. Generally, this kind of mobile tiles has very few colors on the layout, and the effect of laying is poor.
③Additional fees are high. This type of tiles may only be known that you will have to add shipping and upstairs fees when you buy them; and the processing fees are also more expensive than normal bricks, such as chamfering fees, cutting fees, etc. If you add a little bit of each, it will actually cost more.
④ samples are different. Under the illumination of various lighting in the ceramic tiles, it is generally a little different from the stock, and it doesn’t feel the same until it is finished.
⑤ After-sales service poor. The ceramic tiles for activities generally do not refund more or less. Even if there are too many, they can be refunded, and various shipping costs will be incurred.
▲Event promotion bricks
Therefore, it is recommended that you not blindly follow the trend when you see merchants having activities, and you will be greedy for small gains but suffer great losses.
Do not choose bricks with fewer pages
Many people think that since they don’t know how to choose bricks, then buy bricks from big brands, there will be no problem.
is not the case. Not every brick in a big brand is a good brick. First-tier brands also have excellent bricks and second-class bricks, especially bricks with fewer layouts, so they cannot be bought.
▲One brick eight version
①What is the layout of ceramic tile? The layout of
tiles is a problem that many people ignore, because there is usually a brick in tiles shops, so when you see the problem of not having a layout, you can only confirm it through consultation or reading the legend.
So what tiles layout is? The so-called "panel" of ceramic tile refers to ceramic tile with multiple textures in the same tile, also known as "one brick and multiple sides".
▲One brick multi-version
The simpler understanding is that if you buy 100 tiles, if it is a "one brick multi-faceted" tiles, there will be 8-10 subtle and lively "change patterns" inside.
▲One brick, one version
If it is a tiling with "one brick, one side", these 100 tiles will have only one pattern.
Take the very popular "Yubaibai" tiles for example. Some people post them with very texture and grade, while others post them with just "falling".
▲One brick multi-faceted
Many people think that "turning over" is because the grade of the tiles is not enough. In fact, the main problem lies in the layout. Even if it is not a big brand of tiles, if you choose a brick multi-faceted tiles, it will be very classy when laying them out.
②How to choose a layout?
According to conventional rules, a good tiles usually have more than 8 pages. Theoretically, the more layouts, the better the quality of the tiles and the better the effect of laying them out.
▲One brick multiple versions
Because the more layouts, the more complex the tiles are, and it also reflects the strength of the manufacturer from the side. The multiple tiles on the
layout will appear to be flexible and unbroken. When the tiles on each side of the brick will appear continuous and rigid patterns, the more you look, the uglier it will be.
③What issues should be paid attention to when choosing a tile layout?
a. Avoid choosing tiles with obvious contrast in colors
Everything is absolutely true. Although the more layouts, the better the quality, it may not necessarily be the better the layout. In special circumstances, it will also cause a downturn.
▲The contrast of patterns is too messy
For example, when the contrast of patterns of tiles is relatively obvious, if the contrast of patterns is darker, the contrast is obvious, the more layers the more matte the surface, it will appear more messy. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose tiles or marble with patterns, and try to avoid choosing those with obvious contrast of depth.
▲The contrast of the colors is too messy
b. There are fewer texture comparisons, and you should choose multiple layout tiles
Many people have a misunderstanding about the texture of tiles. They feel that the texture contrast is not obvious, so there is no need for a lot of layouts. In fact, this idea is wrong.
▲A brick, multi-faceted
The weaker the texture, the more tiles you need, the more tiles you need. Even if it is a tiles that are close to plain color, the more tiles you have, the more tiles you have, the more tiles you have, the more tiles you have, the more tiles you have, will look more flexible when you lay them.
does not choose non-Guangdong bricks
. Regarding the popularity of domestic ceramic tiles, Guangdong bricks are nothing more than the leading role. Because of the cluster effect, the quality of tiles produced in Guangdong is indeed higher than that of tiles in other regions. Therefore, if you choose tiles again, it is recommended not to choose non-Guangdong bricks.
However, "people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong" has led to all bricks on the market claiming to be "Guangdong bricks", making countless consumers unable to tell who is the real Guangdong brick.
So what if we can identify the real Guangdong bricks? In fact, you can tell by looking at the instructions of the outer packaging.
▲Production address
When looking at the address on the packaging, you must look at the "production address". Only when the production site is in Guangdong is the real Guangdong brick. If the outer packaging only has the "marketing address" or "company address", it means that the tiles are just hung in Guangdong, not produced in Guangdong.
▲Production address
Do not choose non-premium tiles
Tiles are also divided into grades. Even first-tier brands of tiles can be divided into high-quality, first-class, and qualified products.
Only high-quality tiles represent all defective products that meet the country. Some of the first-class tiles will not meet the standards, but the flaws are not obvious.
▲Excellent tile
Therefore, it is recommended that if you choose tile again, do not choose first-class or qualified products, and be sure to choose high-class tile.
Do not choose super large bricks
Regarding the specifications and sizes of ceramic tiles, many businesses say that the larger the tiles, the better the quality. In fact, this statement is misleading.
▲Extra-large bricks
Although according to common sense, the larger the tiles, the more representative the level of the manufacturer, the larger the tiles also have the following disadvantages:
① Low yield rate
The larger the tiles, the greater the process is, the more difficult it is to process, so the lower the yield rate will be in the production process, which leads to the larger the tiles and the more outrageous the price.
②High labor costs
When laying tiles, the larger the tiles, the higher the labor costs, and the processing costs and chamfering costs will also increase accordingly.
▲Oversized bricks
Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing ceramic tiles, don’t blindly pursue large bricks. The bigger the better. You should also decide whether to choose large bricks based on the size and economic foundation of your home.
Purchase suggestions:
▲800 tiles are spread out
Although the larger the tiles, the smaller the gap, it is relatively speaking. For the current apartment layout, it is pursuing a multi-bedroom layout. A house of about 120 square meters can be designed into four rooms. Each space is divided very small, and laying a college student makes the space look more narrow.
▲800 tiles are spread through
, so you should honestly choose 800*800 tiles and then do the same color seam treatment. It is not only economical but also beautiful and elegant.
does not choose tiles that do not meet the thickness standard
. When it comes to the choice of tiles quality, merchants say that they will demonstrate the anti-falling ability, sound and other aspects. In fact, these are all for laymen to see the tricks. The thickness of a good tiles is a very important standard.
▲300*600
Floor tiles with specifications of 800*800mm or above, and the thickness is generally greater than 12mm.
wall tiles with specifications of 300*600mm or more, and the thickness is generally greater than 8mm. tiles with
are lower than these thicknesses, even if the merchant praises the ceiling, it is not recommended to buy them, because tiles with a thickness that do not meet the standards will be too easy to crack in the later use.
▲Tile thickness
So, if you choose tiles again, it is recommended not to tiles with less than the thickness. Although it is not the only standard for identifying the quality of tiles, it is definitely one of the hard standards.
does not choose bright tiles
For the brightness selection of ceramic tiles, the brighter the better, but now due to the following factors, bright tiles have slowly fallen from the altar.
▲Light tiles
①The light is good
Nowadays, most of the houses are transparent to the north and south, with double balconies in the north and south. The indoor lighting is greatly improved. If you choose bright tiles again, it will be very uncomfortable to reflect when the sun is strong.
②There are more and more designs for the main lights
In the current decoration, the trend of lighting design is that there are more and more main lights, which has led to the end of the era of "one main light" and more and more point light sources and local light sources. If bright light tiles are chosen, it will cause the light in the room to be very messy and make people feel uncomfortable.
③Don’t hide gray
Many people think that the floor you just wiped at home has a layer of gray because of the wrong color choice. In fact, the main reason is the glossy tiles. If there is a little dust and footprints on the glossy tiles, it will be very obvious.
▲Glossy Tiles
Therefore, it is recommended that when choosing tiles, try to avoid choosing tiles. It is not nonsense, but a real experience for many people.
Selection suggestions:
For the choice of ceramic tiles, it is recommended to choose soft tiles . It is neither the dazzling of bright tiles nor the dullness of matte tiles, and it looks very soft.
▲Soft light tiles
Moreover, soft light tiles are very dirt-resistant and durable. This is also the reason why many supermarkets now choose soft light tiles on the floors, which can improve the store’s grade a lot.
▲Contrast effect
As for some people, soft tiles are more anti-slip than bright tiles, this is wrong. The anti-slip degree of the tiles has nothing to do with the brightness of the surface, but mainly depends on the tile friction coefficient . As long as the tiles with an index greater than 0.5, whether it is glossy tiles or matte tiles, it will have good anti-slip properties.
is written at the end of the article:
tiles are a major expense in decoration, and they are also an irreversible construction process. If you choose bad tiles, it is not only ugly, expensive, and cannot be reworked. Therefore, if you buy and choose tiles again, it is recommended to refer to the "8 no choices" mentioned in the above article to avoid losing or being deceived.
