Purchasing ceramic tiles is always a puddle of very deep water for laymen,
The standard for distinguishing the quality of ceramic tiles that has been passed down through word of mouth in the past,
In fact, most of them are wrong.
What kind of tiles are good quality tiles?
Today Zhong Tao Jun will give a talk,
Help you correct several misunderstandings in purchasing ceramic tiles.
First, the thicker the ceramic tiles, the better the quality?
Thicker tiles give people a more solid feeling,
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.
Under the same specifications and the same category of products,
Heavier ceramic tiles are definitely of better quality than lighter ceramic 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 bricks, the smaller the water absorption rate,
The flexural strength and wear resistance will also be better than light bricks.
When purchasing ceramic 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 hardly leave scratches on the surface of ceramic tiles.
It is unreliable to identify the wear resistance of ceramic tiles simply by scratching them with sharp objects,
During the use of ceramic tiles, they endure more friction over the years,
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 passed 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 abrasion resistance 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 merchants when purchasing ceramic tiles
Is this product all-ceramic or semi-ceramic?
At this time, merchants 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 usually 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 cannot just blindly believe in low water absorption,
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 Tao Jun’s sharing above,
Has it refreshed your understanding of the quality of ceramic tiles?
How to identify the quality of ceramic tiles, there are many details,
