Selection method of ceramic tile in kitchen and bathroom

Because of the special environment in the kitchen and bathroom, many users choose to paste all the tiles when decorating. The tiles are not only effective in waterproof, but also convenient to clean. The water consumption of kitchen and bathroom is relatively large, so the waterproof performance of ceramic tiles must be very high, and there is more oil pollution in the kitchen, so there are also high requirements for the surface material of ceramic tiles. Kitchen and bathroom have the same requirement, that is, they must be clean and concise, so as not to breed bacteria and cause harm to human health.

How to choose kitchen and bathroom tiles

The physical properties of tiles and floor tiles are different. Floor tiles have high requirements for water absorption, and they should have extremely low water absorption, but wall tiles are different. The height of water absorption of wall tiles is many times higher than that of floor tiles, so you must pay attention to it when choosing.

Therefore, in such a watery environment as kitchen and bathroom, it is best to use glazed ceramic wall tiles, which have a relatively high moisture content, which is beneficial to the bonding of wall tiles. However, you can't choose too high, and you should control it while it is higher than the floor tiles. After all, the kitchen and bathroom are a watery area, and too high water absorption will make the tiles swell.

In addition, considering the wear resistance of ceramic tiles, it is better to choose ceramic tiles for kitchen and bathroom wall tiles. In home life, kitchen and bathroom are often used places, and they are very patronizing. Therefore, the requirements for the wear resistance of ceramic tiles must be high. For example, it is enough to use moderate wear resistance in ordinary families. After all, domestic use is not like high-intensity use in the kitchen of hotels and restaurants.

Precautions in the selection of kitchen tiles

1. The operating environment of the kitchen room is a high temperature environment, and the colors of the selected tiles should be mainly light and cool, such as white, light green and light gray.

2. It is best to lay matte tiles. Good quality matte tiles are not only easy to clean, but also show the owner's elegant aesthetics.

3. Tiles should not be attached to the back of the cabinet as pawnbrokers, because it is a waste to lay tiles in such a place completely blocked by the cabinet.

4. Generally, the kitchen room is relatively small, with windows, doors and cabinets, and the net area is relatively small. In order to avoid waste and maintain the coordination of space, small-sized tiles should be selected, so that the waste of paving will be less, and the inconvenience caused by construction such as cutting large-sized tiles will be avoided.

5. Try to reduce the use of ceramic tile waistline. Using waistline in a small kitchen space will make the space look messy, but you can decorate it with some flowers.

Precautions for choosing bathroom tiles

When choosing bathroom tiles, you can identify them by judging the thickness of the glaze layer on the tile surface. Hard objects can be used to scrape the surface of the brick. If scratches appear, it means insufficient glazing. When the thin glaze layer on the surface of ceramic tile is polished, the tile surface is easy to hide dirt, difficult to clean and lack of safety. And some unglazed floor tiles are generally not suitable to be laid in a humid and closed environment, because the pores on the bricks absorb water vapor and cannot disperse, which will also lead to mold.

Water is often used in kitchens and bathrooms, so it is easy to accumulate water on the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to this point. It is best to use non-slip tiles to avoid falling down accidentally. Wear resistance is also important. The most important thing in the choice of color and style is to be consistent with the overall style. In order to give people a clean feeling, it is best to choose a light color. If the area of the kitchen and bathroom is relatively small, you can use tiles with smaller specifications, which can give people a more harmonious feeling.
