Take out four or five pieces from a box to see if there are any defects such as chromatic aberration, deformation, lack of edges and corners.

Second, listen to the sound. Tap with a hard object, and the crisper the sound, the higher the degree of porcelain and the better the quality. You can also clip a corner of the tile with your left thumb, index finger, and middle finger, 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 will be top quality, and if the sound is dull and muddy, it will be low quality.

Generally speaking, the slower the water absorption, the greater the density of the tile; on the contrary, the faster the water absorption, the sparse density, and the inherent quality is better.

Buying high-quality tiles is not only easy to construct, but also saves man-hours and auxiliary materials. Use a tape measure to measure whether there is any difference in the size and periphery of each tile.
