How to choose imported tiles?

With the current demand in the Chinese market, imported ceramic tiles are more and more recognized by netizens, but after all, they are foreign products. How to judge the quality of imported ceramic tiles? For Chinese people who are pursuing luxury style, it is sure to need science.

Quality is the primary consideration. We must pay attention to the origin of the ceramic tiles. Generally we believe that Italian ceramic tiles are the best among imported ceramic tiles, no matter from planning, production to environmental protection. In terms of performance, the ceramic tiles from Italy's Hongo are absolutely ranked first in the world. If the imported tiles are 100% imported with original packaging, the product quality is fundamentally guaranteed. The second is to pay attention to the manufacturing materials and manufacturing process of ceramic tiles. The internationally recognized best porcelain clay is the high-quality white porcelain clay produced in Italy; the manufacturing process is relatively professional for consumers, and it seems difficult to distinguish it. However, consumers can also test the limited craftsmanship by investigating the density of the ceramic tiles and the purity of the color of the embryo body; they can also judge the craftsmanship of the decking tile glazing by investigating the thickness and color of the glaze layer. Generally speaking, the cross-section has fine grains, consistent color, thick glaze, natural markings, and beautiful color. For example, Italian IMOLA ceramics are imported from Italy. The raw materials are Italian white porcelain clay. At the same time, the restricted skills are also internationally advanced, and all the tiles are made by craftsmanship. Today's Italian House takes us to the following analysis on the choice of Italian furniture, and hopes to help us.

First, outdoor ceramic tile

It is the brick whose exterior surface is processed by burning glaze. It can be divided into two types according to the separation of raw materials: ceramic glazed tiles, which are made from clay, with high water absorption and relatively low strength. According to local soil quality, there are red soil and white (yellow) soil. Porcelain outdoor ceramic tile, which are made from porcelain clay, have low water absorption and relatively high strength. Its main feature is that the back color is off-white. According to the difference of gloss, it can be divided into the following two types: bright outdoor ceramic tile and matt glazed tiles.

Second, the whole body brick

The appearance of the whole body brick is not glazed, and the raw materials and color of the front and back sides are the same, hence the name. The whole body outdoor wood deck tiles is a kind of wear-resistant brick. Although there are other types of permeable whole body bricks, relatively speaking, its patterns are not as good as glazed bricks. Generally, it is seldom used on the wall, and most of the non-slip bricks are classified as full-body bricks.

Three. Polished tiles

It is a kind of bright tiles made by polishing the surface of the whole body of the brick body. Polished tiles belong to a derivative product of whole body tiles. Compared with the whole body tiles, the surface is rough, and the polished tiles have a smooth appearance. It is strong and wear-resistant, suitable for use in most indoor spaces except toilets, kitchens and indoor environments. On the basis of the use of bleed-through technology, polished tiles can make a variety of imitation stone and wood imitations.

Four. Vitrified tile

It is a strengthened polished tile, which contains a high proportion of quartz sand (the main raw material for glass) in addition to porcelain clay. It is fired at high temperature. The texture is harder and more wear-resistant than polished tiles. The finish is better.

The other factors of imported tiles

1. Diagonal ratio scale

Stack two tiles of the same type face to face, align the four corners, and roll between One piece, with the same dimensions on all four sides, is good. This method is especially suitable for the inspection of tiles with smooth appearance.

Second, check the flatness

Put two bricks of the same type face-to-face, align the four corners, and roll the one in between. The simple roll is of poor quality, and vice versa. This method cannot be used to detect antique tiles. The salient feature of antique bricks is the arbitrary changes in appearance color and markings, and the appearance can be uneven.

Three, look at the water absorption rate

The size of the water absorption rate is an important indicator of the quality of ceramic tiles. Pour a small cup of water on the back of the brick body. The faster the water disappears, the higher the water absorption, the looser the texture and the weaker the strength, and vice versa.

Four, look at the finish

This is an important indicator for testing the quality of polished tiles. Clean the maintenance wax on the surface of the polished tile with a soft cloth or reagent, and place it under lights or sunlight at an oblique angle of 45 degrees. The brighter the surface, the better.

Five. Mosaic

is a special kind of brick, which is generally composed of dozens of small bricks to form a relatively large outdoor wood deck tiles. Divided into ceramic mosaic, marble mosaic, glass mosaic.
