How to choose floor tile Don t spend money wrongly poke here

Today's young people prefer to simplify the decoration design, pursue a more advanced sense of minimalism, plus the designer's professional "skills", style is not the most worrying, but the material selection will take up too much energy. Every time we see the wide range of material types and colors in the building materials market, we all sigh: too "south"! Among them, one of the "south" is the ground decoration. After all, for the overall effect, the floor tile is not only a brick, it shoulders the responsibility of reflecting the space temperament and vitality. So here comes the question...! What color floor tiles can make your home more elegant? How to make good-looking and practical floor tiles? Today, let's make a science popularization of the types, sizes, selection and laying of floor tiles, and give early warning of dry goods ahead. Please prepare your own small books and take notes! 1、 What are the types of floor tiles? First of all, the floor tiles are roughly divided into the whole body brick and the half through body brick. The whole body brick is made by pressing the rock debris under high pressure. After firing, the tiles will have the same pattern and color from the bottom to the surface. The upper and lower parts are all made of the same material, also known as homogeneous brick. And the half through brick is the front and back material is not the same, the surface layer is porcelain, the back is ceramic body. Home decoration is the most commonly used brick, which can be divided into ordinary brick, polished brick, glazed tile and so on. 1. The common brick is a kind of unglazed porcelain brick, and the material and color of the front and back are consistent, which has good skid resistance and wear resistance. We usually said "anti-skid brick" most are the whole body brick, generally less used in the wall.However, the surface of ordinary brick is rough and has many pores. The dirt and dust in the construction or use engineering are easy to penetrate into the brick body. Once the pollutants are infiltrated, it is difficult to remove them. Suitable space: hall, corridor and outdoor corridor. 2. Polished tile polished tile is a kind of ceramic tile which is fired from the kiln and then processed by a finishing process. The surface of polished brick is smooth, hard and wear-resistant, and it has pores on the surface, so it is easy to hide dirt and incrustation. Even some tea is poured on the polished brick, and it is powerless. All polished tiles are anti-skid. If there is soil on the tiles, it will be slippery, but if there is water, it will be astringent. Therefore, as long as daily cleaning is done, the anti-skid effect will not be affected. Suitable space: living room, corridor, balcony, etc. 3. Glazed tile glazed tile is the surface of the brick after firing glaze treatment of the brick, according to the different luster glazed tile and Matt glazed tile. Glazed tiles have rich color patterns, many specifications, anti-seepage, not afraid of dirty, resistant to sudden cold and heat, and most of the glazed tiles have good skid resistance. However, glazed tile has a disadvantage, because the surface is glaze, the relative wear resistance is worse than polished brick. Suitable space: toilet, kitchen. 4. The biggest difference between microcrystalline brick and other floor tile products is that there is a layer of glass-ceramic on the surface. Its biggest characteristic is that it will not penetrate any stain, and the water absorption rate is basically equal to zero. Microcrystalline stone has soft and delicate texture, wide application range, excellent weather resistance and strong pollution resistance. But microcrystalline brick surface gloss is high, the surface is more likely to scratch than polished brick, if the scratch will be easy to show, so microcrystalline brick is not suitable for large area paving the ground, in home decoration is suitable for background wallGo ahead. Applicable environment: TV wall (recommended), living room, dining room, etc. 5. Vitrified tile the appearance of vitrified brick is to solve the problem of easy dirt of polished brick, also known as full ceramic tile. We all say that it is an enhanced version of polished brick. It is fired at high temperature. It not only integrates all the advantages of polished brick, but also solves the shortcomings of polished brick. Therefore, its price is also higher than polished brick. Vitrified brick has the advantages of high luminosity, high hardness, high wear resistance, low water absorption rate, less color difference, diversified specifications and rich colors. It is hard, wear-resistant and not easy to dirty. It is superior to ordinary glazed tile and general marble in edge straightness, bending strength, acid and alkali resistance. Suitable space: living room, corridor, etc. 2、 The size and thickness of tiles on the market a variety of tile specifications, there are square, rectangular, regardless of the size and thickness of floor tiles are different. Each specification of the floor tile decoration effect is also different. If you want to get the ideal decoration effect and save cost, you must know the size and thickness of floor tiles before you buy them. The specifications of 1200 * 600 and 1000 * 1000 floor tiles in the living room are generally 2 pieces in a box, a few 3 pieces in a box, 800 * 800 specifications are generally 3 pieces in a box, 40 to 60 kg in a box, 600 * 600 specifications are generally 4 pieces in a box, 22 to 35 kg in a box, 330 * 330 specifications are generally 8 to 10 pieces in a box, 15 to 27 kg in a box, 300 * 300 specifications are 10 to 11 pieces in a box, 18 to 30 kg in a box of 400 * 400The grid is usually 6 to 8 pieces a box, 18 to 25 kg a box, common floor tile thickness 300 * 300 brick about 7mm 600 * 600 brick about 10mm 800 * 800 brick about 12mm, after understanding the specification of floor tile, how to choose the floor tile specification according to the characteristics of your house? In fact, as long as four aspects are considered, the problem will be solved easily: ① size of space: in a large area of space, the use of small specifications of ceramic tiles will make the whole space look more crowded. If the space area is more than 30 square meters, the best choice is 800 * 800 floor tiles. If the area is less than 30 square meters, you can choose 600 * 600 floor tiles, and try not to use less than 400 * 400 floor tiles. Conversely, if in smaller or more furniture space, do not choose large size ceramic tile. ② Consider color collocation decoration should give people a comfortable, bright, natural feeling, so choose lighter color of ceramic tile will be more appropriate, such as can choose light beige color, white, solid color or with small patterns and other types of ceramic tile. ③ Considering the length and width of the space, it is better to pave all tiles as a whole, try not to cut bricks or cut less, reduce waste, the larger the general brick, the greater the waste. ④ Considering the budget problem, generally speaking, for the same brand and the same series of products, the larger the brick specification, the higher the price. 3、 How can you buy quality guaranteed floor tiles? Here we suggest that you should pay attention to let the seller show quality inspection certificate and quality inspection report when purchasing materialsDo your homework. There are also from the following eight aspects to carefully consider and select: to see: color uniformity of brick, surface pattern and finish, check whether there are color difference, deformation, lack of edge and less angle and other defects. Knock: tap the brick with a hard object. The clearer the sound, the higher the vitrification degree and the better the quality. You can also use your left thumb, index and middle fingers to grip the corner of the tile and hang it down easily. Tap the middle and lower part of the tile with your right index finger. If the sound is clear and pleasant, it is a good product. Drop: can be placed on the back of ceramic tile to see how fast the water seeps in. Generally speaking, the slower the water absorption, the greater the density of ceramic tiles; on the contrary, the faster the water absorption speed, the thinner the density, the better the internal quality. Measurement: measure the size of each piece of ceramic tile with a tape measure, whether there is any difference around, and the accuracy is high. Scratch: wipe the surface of the brick with ordinary knife. No scratch is left on the surface, indicating that the brick has strong wear resistance. Press: the ceramic tile is suspended, the person stands on the ceramic tile, if the ceramic tile basically does not have the breakage or the crack, explains the bearing capacity is good. Fall: good ceramic tile, after the vertical fall, there will be no damage. Said: good ceramic tile density is high, weight, relatively solid, thickness is even, the weight of ceramic tile with poor quality is relatively light. 4、 In addition to the size and selection of floor tiles, the paving method of floor tiles is also very important for the aesthetic feeling of home space. So what are the popular paving methods? Square paving method: square format is the most traditional way and the most classic paving method, which is used by most people. This methodGenerous decent, neat, simple, more easily highlight the most authentic texture of floor tiles. I-shaped paving method: I-shaped paving method is also divided into 1 / 3 paving method and 1 / 2 paving method. This is the most common floor paving method, the effect is neat and clean, and the construction is simple. You can choose the brick with color difference to mix and match, which brings more unique and flexible feeling to the space. Herringbone paving method: this elegant and retro collage style is suitable for traditional decoration in Europe, and also very suitable for modern home space, giving people visual extension. The herringbone paving method can be divided into three categories: straight and flat herringbone, oblique herringbone and double zigzag, all of which have a beautiful implication of climbing up. From left to right are: straight and flat herringbone, single herringbone and double herringbone. Fish bone paving and herringbone paving are similar in spirit. The difference is that the two sides of floor tiles need to be cut at a certain angle, mostly 60 ° or 45 ° and the middle seam is aligned during paving. For the space extension effect is stronger, but also more fashionable, the disadvantage is that this paving method has high requirements for materials and workers' technology, and the loss rate is high. Mix and match method: a higher-order paving method, with a higher appearance, can better divide open space, such as between open kitchen and dining room, or between hall and living room. The same requirements for the objective conditions are correspondingly higher, so the problem of closing at the junction needs to be paid special attention to, and at the same time, the height difference should be avoided as much as possible.
