Do you really know which tiles are of good quality?
Purchasing ceramic tiles is always a puddle of very deep water for laymen,
The standard for identifying the quality of ceramic tiles that has been passed down by word of mouth in the past,
In fact, most of them are wrong.
What kind of tiles are good quality tiles?
Tao Jun from China will give a talk today,
Help you correct some major misunderstandings when purchasing ceramic tiles.
First, the thicker the tiles, the better the quality?
Thicker tiles give people a more solid feel,
Therefore, most consumers believe that thicker ceramic tiles will be more durable and more resistant to pressure.
In fact, the thicker the ceramic tile, the better the quality, but the heavier it is and the more durable it is.
For products of the same specification and category,
Heavier tiles are definitely of better quality than lighter tiles,
The weight of the tiles indicates that the tonnage of the press is relatively large, and the heavier the tiles, the higher the density.
The greater the density of the bricks, the smaller the water absorption rate,
The flexural strength and wear resistance will also be better than light bricks.
When purchasing tiles, you can go to:
Check the fineness of the particles on the back of the tiles and the weight of the tiles,
To identify the density of ceramic tiles.
Second, are ceramic tiles wear-resistant if they are not hung with metal?
Many businesses use sharp objects such as keys and scissors to scratch the surface of ceramic tiles,
This shows that the ceramic tile has good wear resistance.
But in fact, the Mohs hardness of metals such as keys and scissors is only 5-6,
Most bricks on the market have a Mohs hardness of over 6,
So it is normal that keys and scissors are difficult to leave scratches on the surface of ceramic tiles.
It is unreliable to identify the wear resistance of ceramic tiles simply by scratching with sharp objects,
During the use of ceramic tiles, they are more exposed to years of friction,
So, these methods can only show that the hardness of ceramic tiles is high.
But it does not explain how good the wear resistance of ceramic tiles is,
When purchasing ceramic tiles, you can ask the shopping guide,
This product has undergone several rounds or levels of professional wear-resistant testing.
The most wear-resistant ceramic tile brand currently on the market is Bighorn Deer super wear-resistant marble ceramic tiles,
Their products have passed level four professional wear-resistant testing (2100-6000)
Third, the one with low water absorption is a good ceramic tile?
Everyone knows that ceramic tiles with a water absorption rate below 0.5 are of better quality,
So many consumers will first ask the merchant when purchasing ceramic tiles
Is this product full-ceramic or semi-ceramic?
At this time, businesses often pour water on the tile glaze,
Then observe the degree of water seepage to determine the water absorption rate of the ceramic tile.
In fact, this approach is not reliable,
Because the glazed surface of ceramic tiles is generally glazed and polished,
No matter how much water you pour, it’s hard to tell.
Another point is the performance aspect of purchasing ceramic tiles,
You can’t just blindly believe in low water absorption rate,
Also pay attention to the anti-slip properties of ceramic tiles,
Because this is related to personal safety, it must not be ignored.
After reading the above sharing by Tao Jun,
Has it refreshed your understanding of the quality of ceramic tiles?
How to identify the quality of ceramic tiles, there are many details,
