What brand of tiles should I buy?

At present, domestic high-end brands include Kelpolo, Jin Yitao, Dong Peng, Oushennuo, LD (produced by Kelpolo) and Tezhi (produced by Oushennuo), while mid-end brands include New Pearl Group, Mona Lisa, Hongyu, Enoch, Wang Zhe and Qiang Hui. If the landlord considers the price, I personally suggest that these mid-range brands should be your good choice. In fact, it doesn't matter what brand, what matters is whether you know the tiles or not. Teach the landlord some ways to identify the quality of ceramic tiles in the industry, hoping to help you:

I have been engaged in ceramic tile industry for 4 years. Before decoration, everyone must plan their own decoration expenses and carefully plan the use cost of each piece, because decoration involves more than just tiles. It is best to record every expense in advance with paper and pen, so as not to be influenced by the sales staff and exceed the decoration budget. First, you have to decide what style of tiles you want to buy. At present, there are roughly two styles on the market: antique tiles and polished tiles. It doesn't matter what tiles you buy. What is important is how to choose and teach you some of the most practical ways to choose tiles, so that you don't have to be fooled by sellers when buying tiles. These methods are used by people in the industry to test the quality of ceramic tiles. Although you can't say that 100% can choose good tiles, at least 80% can't be wrong. Just remember a few things when choosing tiles, and nothing else is important:

1, look at the back of the swivel to see if the color is pure. Generally, solid color is milky white (white), not black or yellow, with black spots on the surface. Black and yellow prove that there are impurities in the brick itself, and the density of the brick will drop more, which is easy to break and damage in the ordinary practical process. However, it is not normal for the back of the brick not to be very white, which shows that zirconium silicate is used more. One of the national tests on the radioactivity of ceramic tiles is the practical amount of zirconium silicate raw materials. Zirconium silicate raw material can make bricks white and bright, but zirconium silicate raw material is also one of the main killers of radioactivity, so we must pay attention to it. General regular manufacturers have national inspection report certificates. You just have to let them show it. Note: It must be a color certificate bound with a photo frame or the parameter description behind the product manual, not a copy of the inspection report. That thing can be forged.

2. See if the particles on the side of the tile are fine and uniform. If the particles are large and rough, the density of tiles will be crisp, and problems will definitely occur during use. For a simple example, when you get a house, it is usually a prototype house, and the walls are all made of cement, which is very rough. When you use putty powder, the wall will be smoother and more delicate, which can be regarded as this standard.

3. Stand up the brick and knock it by hand. The crisper the sound, the better the quality. The duller the sound, the worse the density of tiles, and the worse the pollution resistance and durability of tiles.

4. If you buy polished tiles (large floor tiles over 600), touch the front of the tiles by hand (with the back of your hand), the smoother you feel at first, the less pinholes there are on the surface of the tiles, and the higher the anti-pollution ability. As long as it is not used in the bathroom or kitchen, you don't have to worry about anti-skid problems.

5. Look at the gloss of the same color brick surface. Generally, a large floor tile is placed on the inclined plate, and there will be spotlights or fluorescent lamps on it. You should see the shadow of these light bulbs on the brick surface (just like looking in the mirror). The clearer the shadow, the higher the gloss of the brick, the stronger the hardness of the brick and the higher the durability. On the contrary, the more blurred the shadow of the light bulb, the lower the hardness of the brick. Note: I mean polished tiles here, and they must be the same color when comparing again. You can't compare yellow bricks with white bricks, which is wrong.

6. If you buy antique bricks, you should also touch the front of the brick body with your hands, feel whether the glaze color of the brick surface is delicate with your hands, and then carefully observe whether the glaze particles are rough with your eyes. When buying antique bricks, we must pay special attention to the quality of glaze. If possible, let the sales staff explain the process of making glaze in detail, because glaze is the life of antique bricks and color is the soul of antique bricks, so we must compare colors to see if the colors are pure, and it is basically possible to choose products with pure colors.

7. If you buy ceramic tiles (wall tiles), it depends on the gap between the side blank of the ceramic tile and the glaze, and the thickness of the glaze. If it is too thin, you can't bring it, because it will break or leak after a long time. See if the glaze on the surface of ceramic tile is bright, bright and of good quality.

The above methods 1, 2 and 3 are common to all bricks, and 4, 5, 6 and 7 are methods for different products. Finally, adding a few words about the weight of bricks is also a way. The heavier the brick, the higher the density, but this does not apply to all bricks. For example, it seems that Oseno and several other big brands have produced a product called "lightweight brick", which is light in weight but good in quality. So the comparison of weight can only be used for traditional ceramic tile products. If possible, pour a glass of water on the back of the brick to see the water absorption speed of the brick. The sooner you prove that bricks are bad, the slower you prove that bricks are good. This is commonly referred to as the water absorption rate of ceramic tiles. The general international standard is below 0.4%, that is, pouring 100 grams of water will only absorb 0.4 grams, and the bricks that meet this standard are basically good bricks. Special reminder: don't trust the salesperson to stand up and drop the bricks. It's loud, but the bricks are good. Shit ~ ~ ~ that's right. . . . . Forget it. Anyone who knows something about physics knows it. . . . . If you don't talk, you will be scolded by your peers, hehe ~ ~ ~
