Common sense of floor tiles

1. What should I pay attention to when buying floor tiles?

How to choose floor tiles (referred to as floor tiles) have the characteristics of firmness, wear resistance, high strength, low water absorption and easy cleaning, and are generally used for decoration on outdoor platforms, balconies, bathrooms, corridors, kitchens and other floors.

In the increasingly rich material market, floor tiles are glazed tiles, homogeneous tiles and vitrified tiles, and the colors are earth red, yellow, blue, green, brown dots, yellow dots, green dots and gray black dots. The specifications and varieties of floor tiles are as follows: ① Colored glazed tiles, with water absorption not more than 10%, ceramic materials, high strength, good chemical stability and thermal stability, and flexural strength not less than 20MPa, are suitable for indoor floor paving and indoor exterior wall decoration.

(2) Glazed tiles, with water absorption not more than 22%, fine ceramic material, smooth glaze, good chemical stability and flexural strength not less than 17MPa, are suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. (3) The water absorption of imitation bricks (including square bricks) is less than 5%, and the texture is similar to natural granite. It looks like a granite rough grinding board or chopping board. It has the functions of sound absorption, anti-skid and special decoration, and its flexural strength is not less than 25MPa. Suitable for indoor floor and exterior wall decoration, courtyard path floor pavement and square floor.

④ Imitation granite polished floor tile, with water absorption not more than 65438 0%, texture similar to natural granite, and appearance similar to granite polished board. The bending strength is not less than 27MPa, which is suitable for the floors and walls of indoor halls and corridors such as hotels, restaurants, theaters, commercial buildings and entertainment places.

⑤ Porcelain brick, with water absorption not more than 2%, high sintering degree, acid resistance, alkali resistance, high wear resistance and flexural strength not less than 25MPa, is especially suitable for pavement on the ground and steps with large passenger flow. ⑥ split brick, with water absorption less than 8%, unglazed surface, rough style and good wear resistance, while glazed surface, with rich colors and bending strength greater than 18MPa, is suitable for indoor and outdoor floors.

The glazed split brick of wall paving is not suitable for outdoor ground. ⑦ Red floor tiles, with water absorption not more than 8%, have certain hygroscopicity and moisture resistance, and are suitable for floor paving.

When people buy floor tiles in urban hunting rooms, they will first ask the waiter about the varieties and characteristics of floor tiles, such as water absorption, chemical stability and so on. Look at the quality of goods, such as flatness and sintering degree.

How to look at quality? Here are two relatively simple methods: ① Listen to the sound and tap the floor tiles with your hands. If the brick makes a "poof, poof" sound, it shows that its sintering degree is not enough and its texture is inferior. If it makes a slight "plop" sound, then its texture is harder than the last one; (2) Visual inspection method: put the floor tile on the plane to see whether its four sides are completely consistent with the plane, and at the same time see whether the four corners of the tile are at right angles, and then put the tile on the same variety and model to observe its color difference.

Anti-skid of urban hunting house floor tiles is also very important. It is best to choose non-slip floor tiles for home use. Non-slip floor tiles are not necessarily rough tiles, but their texture is rougher than ordinary floor tiles. .

2. What is the common sense of tiles?

Ceramic tile, ceramic tile, is a kind of acid and alkali-resistant porcelain or stone, building or decorative material, which is made of refractory metal oxide and semi-metal oxide through grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering. It is called a tile.

Its raw materials are mostly mixed with clay and quartz sand. Integral brick is a kind of wear-resistant brick. Although there are varieties such as infiltrated integral brick, the color of integral brick is relatively inferior to glazed tile.

Because interior design is more and more inclined to plain design, brick is becoming more and more fashionable. Full-body bricks are widely used in halls, aisles, outdoor walkways and other decoration projects, and are generally less used in walls, while anti-slip bricks are mostly full-body bricks. Advantages: Due to the rough surface, wear resistance and skid resistance are the best among all tiles.

3. How to identify tiles with common sense of tiles

Ceramic tile is a common decorative material in the family.

Its quality directly affects its use, so we should pay attention to the following points when selecting it: First, take one out of the box at will to see whether the surface is smooth and complete, the glaze should be uniform, bright, without spots, lacking glaze and bumping, and the surrounding edges should be regular. Second, take out two bricks and align them. The smaller the gap, the better.

If it is a pattern brick, it must be made up of four pieces into a complete pattern, and it is also necessary to look at whether the pattern of the brick is coherent and clear. Then take out all the bricks in a box, straighten them, and you can see the overall effect at a little distance. No matter white, other colors or patterns, they should all be the same color. When you buy them, you must look good.

Then put these bricks on one by one and compare whether the bricks are the same size. The allowable deviation of small brick is within ±65438±0mm, and that of large brick is within 2 mm.. Finally, knock one brick on another, or knock the brick with other hard objects. If the sound of the brick is crisp and loud, it means that the quality of the brick is good and ripe. If the sound is abnormal, it means that the brick is not sintered well and there are cracks inside.

4. What should I pay attention to in floor tile decoration?

First, the wall brick should be laid from bottom to top, and one wall cannot be pasted to the top at a time, and the joint is generally1~ 3 mm; Second, before paving, we should deal with the flatness and cracks of the wall; Third, the middle of the rubber material should be slightly higher than the periphery, and the surface should be fixed with a rubber hammer, so as to prevent air from accumulating in the rubber layer.

At the same time, horizontal detection should be carried out; Fourth, the bonding material should be selected properly. General wall cement and * * * are 1:4, floor cement and * * * are 1:3 2. The ground should be flat.

Some civil floors are uneven. In this case, everyone should use cement mortar to smooth the uneven places. When laying, you can frame the surroundings with tiles of different colors (darker), while the tiles in the frame are lighter in color.

Of course, the floors of the kitchen and bathroom must be tilted, so as to facilitate drainage. 3。

Another thing to pay attention to in tile decoration is the treatment of waterproof layer. Pay more attention to the walls of the kitchen and bathroom.

Because replacing tiles usually destroys the original waterproof layer of cement mortar. The remedy is to lay a layer of asphalt waterproof layer before sticking bricks.

Joints between tiles should also be filled with white cement. 4。

Brick surface should be set flat, the angle should be accurate and the interface should be aligned; Tiles should be soaked for half a day before use; The toilet floor should have an appropriate slope, and no water is allowed. After sweeping the white cement on the tile interface, the white cement should be brushed with rattan silk, and no cement stains can be left on the tile surface. After the floor tile is laid, cover the brick surface with cardboard, etc. , and walk on the brick surface at least 24 hours later; .

5. What is the knowledge of tile maintenance?

Trick 1: The ceramics are as bright as white vinegar lemon peel.

Scrub the dirt on the surface of the sanitary ware first, then dip a little white vinegar in a soft cloth or wipe the surface of the sanitary ware with lemon peel, and the sanitary ware will be as bright as new. Trick 2: Anti-seepage and anti-mildew measures for ceramic tiles. The walls of the bathroom are all tiled. In order to keep them clean and bright, you can use multifunctional decontamination paste for cleaning.

As for the cracks in ceramic tiles, you can first dip a toothbrush in a little decontamination paste to remove the scale, and then use a wool brush as a waterproof agent at the cracks. This can not only prevent leakage, but also prevent mold growth.

Trick 3: the faucet is perfectly disassembled. You can spray neutral detergent on soft cotton cloth and gently wipe the faucet once a week. Do not "torture" the faucet with acidic or abrasive cleaners and wire brushes.

With the improvement of the quality of life, as a common decorative brick on the wall, it has also changed. It is no longer a solid color tile, but has evolved into a colorful artistic tile. This stems from Tang Meng's research on ceramic tiles. As one of the founders of art tiles, he took the lead in introducing advanced German engraving equipment into China in 2008, and improved people's manual engraving into mechanical engraving at that time, greatly reducing the loss of tiles, improving production efficiency, increasing the appreciation space of tiles, greatly reducing the cost and making tens of thousands of copies. .

6. Common sense of floor tiles

Wall and floor tiles are collectively referred to as tiles, generally referred to as tiles.

National standards are classified according to water absorption. The water absorption of 0%-0.5%-3%-6%-65,438+00% ceramic tile is related to the performance of the tile. Generally, bricks with low water absorption have high density, good strength and strong frost resistance.

Note: there is no frost resistance requirement for tiles with high water absorption. Ceramic tiles are divided into glazed tiles and unglazed tiles.

Glazed tiles are usually made of ceramic tiles with high water absorption. Polishing not only changes the surface decoration effect, but also improves the performance, which is smooth and wear-resistant, water-absorbing and airtight. But it is generally not suitable for paving.

Because glazed tiles are too smooth, the surface friction coefficient is small. Especially after getting wet.

Moreover, once the glaze is worn, it has a great influence on the quality and decorative effect. In addition, other classification methods can be used.

For example; From the applicable decorative surface, there are interior wall tiles, exterior wall tiles, interior and exterior floor tiles, square tiles and so on. Functionally, there are ordinary bricks, tiles, tiles, parquet bricks, yin and yang corner bricks, etc.

According to the surface treatment, there are matte brick, bright light, polishing (vitrification), anti-slip and so on. From the decorative performance, there are artistic bricks, antique bricks, cultural stones and so on.

Ceramic tile is one of the oldest decorative materials. At the earliest time, people chiseled stones and laid stones on the indoor ground. Later, ceramics were burned into a similar shape to decorate the bedroom.

As early as ancient Rome, ceramic tiles appeared in public bathrooms and homes. After thousands of years of evolution and development, nowadays, ceramic tiles have become one of the most common decorative materials with their advantages of hardness, moisture-proof, acid and alkali resistance and easy cleaning.

Indoor tiles can be divided into wall tiles and floor tiles according to the location of paving. Strictly speaking, wall tiles belong to ceramic products and floor tiles belong to porcelain products, with different physical characteristics. Therefore, there are great differences between them in clay composition and firing process. The water absorption of wall tiles is about 10%, which is several times higher than that of floor tiles with water absorption of only 1%.

Nowadays, in order to pursue individuality, some families use unconventional materials, such as breaking brightly colored tiles and laying them on the bathroom floor, and then sticking simple but elegant tiles on the walls. In fact, floor tiles and wall tiles should not be mixed, which is neither scientific nor safe.

Because the ground is often washed with a lot of clean water, it can ensure that the tiles are not affected by water vapor and do not absorb stains. Floor tiles have low water absorption and are suitable for flooring.

Wall brick is a glazed tile with high moisture content, and its back is generally rough, which is beneficial for adhesive to stick wall brick to the wall. Floor tiles are not easy to stick on the wall, and wall tiles will absorb too much water when used on the ground, making it difficult to clean.

It can be seen that wall and floor tiles are not suitable for mixing. As a kind of main material which consumes a lot in family decoration, consumers are always very cautious when purchasing.

It's a good idea to buy it at the building materials supermarket. B&Q building materials supermarket keeps innovating while ensuring product quality, giving consumers the greatest choice. It is understood that B&Q is now holding the "Ceramic Tile Consumer Culture Festival", so hurry and have a look.

Floor tiles generally refer to tiles. Ceramic tile is a kind of ceramic product, made of clay mixed with different materials. After cutting, it is dehydrated and air-dried, and then it is sintered at high temperature to make brick boards with different shapes.

Brick boards can leave a rough surface without any modification, or be glazed and fired to produce smooth surface tiles. Generally, glazed tiles are waterproof, moisture-proof, wear-resistant and easy to clean, and are most suitable for damp or sanitary spaces, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

In fact, there are many kinds of tiles suitable for floor decoration, such as mosaic high-temperature bricks, over-bottom bricks and clay bricks. Mosaic Mosaic is the smallest of all kinds of tiles, commonly known as a brick.

It was originally the material of decorative arts in ancient European architecture. Generally speaking, it is only used to spread the kitchen and bathroom at home, or to swim in the lobby of public places. Because of its small size, the floor is not easy for people to slip, which is especially suitable for wet and slippery environment.

In fact, mosaic has rich choices in materials and colors, and has great potential in creating aesthetic feeling. As long as it is properly designed, it can create a good visual effect. High temperature brick is the most popular floor tile material in recent years.

High-temperature brick is a kind of ceramic tile made of high temperature and high pressure, which has higher wear resistance than ordinary tiles used for floor paving, so it is quite suitable for decorative materials of shared floors. Generally, the surface of high-temperature brick is smooth, but the surface of good quality brick is not easy to slip even if it is wet after special treatment.

Because of the attractive color and smooth surface of high-temperature brick, many families began to use it to spread the living room floor, so that high-temperature brick appeared in the kitchen and bathroom, and also began to appear in the hall. Over-the-bottom brick Most ceramic tiles are composed of glaze and brick board. If the material is poor or worn for a long time, the glaze on the surface will be scratched or peeled off, exposing the brick board at the bottom, which can not be repaired.

Over-bottom bricks make up for this shortcoming. This kind of brick is made of the same material regardless of the bottom layer and the surface layer. Even if it is scratched and worn, it will not expose the material of another color, which will affect the appearance. Moreover, this kind of brick has strong wear resistance and is suitable for floors with a large amount of walking, so many people have used bottom bricks to pave floors today.

There are two choices of over-bottom brick: matte and smooth, among which smooth over-bottom brick is also called bright brick, and the surface is polished to produce a smooth mirror with marble effect. Clay brick In addition to the tiles on it, many people who advocate local flavor choose simple and natural clay bricks (red bricks) to pave the floor, which are often used in sunshine, gardens and halls.

Clay brick is a kind of unglazed floor tile, which gives people a simple texture. In addition, it can also be protected by crystal oil as the surface layer, increasing the sense of smoothness.

7. Introduce some common sense of ceramic tile maintenance.

The family, walking in with a bright window, certainly makes people look relaxed and happy. The tiles at home are large areas that can be seen as soon as you enter the door. But tiles are often humiliated by oil stain, water rust, soap scale and so on. Especially light-colored tiles will show these problems early, so how to clean these beautiful light-colored tiles has become a problem that puzzles people.

Method 1: Tiles using multifunctional decontamination paste are often humiliated by oil stains and soap scales, especially at the joints of tiles. In order to keep the surface of porcelain clean without damaging its bright light, multifunctional decontamination paste can be used for cleaning.

A toothbrush should be dipped in a little decontamination paste to remove dirt at the gap of ceramic tiles, and then a waterproof agent should be used at the gap, so as to prevent water seepage and mold growth. Method 2: Pollution prevention of vitrified brick exterior wall is the key point. After vitrified brick is polished, pores are exposed, and oil and dust can easily penetrate.

Some manufacturers have solved this problem through new skills after discussion. However, many brands of products are sold as qualified products without anti-pollution treatment. If consumers don't investigate the situation and don't care when paving, they will be dirty.

Consumers should ask clearly when purchasing, vitrified tiles that have not been treated with anti-pollution should be waxed in use, and ordinary floor wax can be used. Before paving, in order to prevent damage to the brick surface during construction, cover the brick surface with articles that are not easy to decolorize, such as woven bags.

When cleaning and protecting vitrified tiles daily, all stains on tiles should be thoroughly cleaned first. If there is glue or dirt, you can wipe it off with neutral detergent and scouring pad. Pour the floor cleaning agent on the floor tile and wipe off the stains on the floor tile with a waxing machine.

Then pour the water-based wax into a clean and dry mop and spread it evenly on the floor tiles. After waxing, let the appearance of the floor tile dry thoroughly, and then you can step on it. You can also blow dry with an electric fan. Ordinary waxing will be completely dry after 8 hours. If there are heavy objects to be moved, you must wait until the wax is completely dry before moving and transferring, so that the floor tiles can keep bright.

After repeated waxing, when the local brick looks yellow and needs to be waxed again, it should be disposed with a wax remover. The specific method is as follows: directly apply the wax remover without adding water, and pour it on the place where the wax should be removed evenly, about 10- 15 minutes. After the wax remover penetrates into the floor tile, splash the floor tile with water, and the wax must be completely removed, otherwise it will lose luster if waxed again.

After cleaning the wax, please follow the above steps to clean and protect it. Method 3: Add tiles to the old tiles. Old tiles should be reformed. Generally, it is necessary to shovel all the tiles, which is very labor-intensive.

If you want to paste new tiles on old tiles, cement mortar is difficult to do. At this time, it is necessary to use a resin-based stone binder, which is not afraid of greasy and stains on tiles, and has good bonding strength. The daily protection of light-colored tiles also needs to master some tips. You can choose clean water and detergent or baking soda when cleaning. Adding a little mixture of ammonia and turpentine when cleaning with a pot can make the tiles brighter.

If tea leaves or other daily necessities are attached to the tiles, they should be scrubbed and cleaned in real time. If necessary, use corresponding cleaning products for cleaning. If there are scratches on the brick surface, you can apply toothpaste to the scratches and wipe them with a dry cloth to repair them.

The gap between bricks can be removed with decontamination paste on schedule, and then a layer of waterproof agent is brushed on the gap to prevent mildew.

8. Ceramic tile knowledge training

1) At present, ceramic tile products on the market are mainly divided into the following categories according to the materials used and the manufacturing process:

Mosaic is mainly divided into glass mosaic (raw material is glass) and ceramic mosaic. Mainly used for decorating walls.

Glazed tile This kind of ceramic tile is composed of a ceramic tile blank and a layer of glaze on the surface, that is, the ceramic clay blank is glazed and fired at high temperature and high pressure. The glaze of ceramic tile mainly plays the role of increasing the aesthetic feeling of ceramics.

Glazed tiles are divided into floor tiles and wall tiles according to the place of use.

According to its smoothness, it can be divided into matte glazed tiles and bright glazed tiles. At present, many glazed tiles are matte materials.

Vitrified brick (or polished brick) is made of soil embryo (or soil embryo plus some mineral powder) and fired at one time at high temperature and high pressure. The raw materials used in the face embryo and the bottom embryo are basically the same (except for vitrified bricks with special technology, such as the new glaze series in vitrified bricks). Vitrified brick belongs to all-ceramic products. Its wear resistance and flexural strength are high, and its water absorption is low (the water absorption of vitrified brick is less than 1‰). Vitrified bricks are mainly used as floor materials. In the past, vitrified bricks were mainly used as wall materials for high-end hotels and offices. But now, with the improvement of living standard and consumer consumption level, more and more families use vitrified bricks as wall materials for kitchens and bathrooms. ]

2) According to the water absorption of ceramic tiles, it can be divided into the following three types:

Pottery: refers to ceramic products with water absorption of ≥6%, which are mainly used for wall decoration.

Semi-porcelain and semi-porcelain: refers to that the water absorption of ceramics is ≥3% and

All porcelain: refers to the water absorption of ceramics.

3) According to different occasions, it can be divided into the following categories:

Interior wall tiles: ceramic materials used for indoor walls;

Floor tiles: ceramic products for the ground;

Exterior wall tiles: ceramic materials used for building exterior walls and balconies;

Square brick: ceramic products used in outdoor squares and sidewalks. Of course, this classification is not complete. For example, vitrified brick can be used as floor tile, interior wall or even exterior wall, while glazed interior wall brick is not suitable for floor, mainly because of poor wear resistance.

9.20 16 What are the latest skills for using ceramic tiles?

1, avoid rubbing the ground with hard objects to avoid scratching the ground. For furniture that needs to be moved frequently, a soft protective layer should be laid on the part that contacts the ground.

2, often clean the ground, reduce dust, gently wipe the ground with a wringing wet towel or mop. 3. Avoid direct contact between special shoes and socks (such as shoes with nails) and the ground.

This can reduce the scratches on the ground and maintain the beauty of the ground. 4. It is not advisable to pour sewage or corrosive substances on the ground to reduce the pollution and corrosion of the ground.

5, keep the ground dry, not sprinkling water on the ground, in case of slipping. 6, prevent heavy objects from hitting the ground, so as not to smash the brick surface, affecting the appearance.

7, outdoor use of ceramic tiles, in the northern region, should try to choose products with low water absorption.
