Selection of kitchen wall tiles

Kitchen walls should be made of scrub-resistant tiles. The kitchen wall should be made of wall materials that are easy to clean and not easy to get oil, as well as fire-resistant and heat-resistant tiles. Although there are substitute products such as fireproof board, glass and paint on the market, ceramic tiles still occupy the mainstream market.

The kitchen wall is made of glazed tiles, which are transparent and acid-and alkali-resistant, and have a complete isolation effect on oil pollution, so that bacteria, odor, scale and mucus cannot breed. Glazed tile surface is divided into two types: bright surface and matte surface, and the bright surface is easier to take care of.

Selection of kitchen floor tiles

Choose the whole brick, the color of the front and back materials is the same, and it is non-slip and wear-resistant. People generally call it "non-slip brick", which is used in lobby, aisle and outdoor aisle.

Toilet tile

The commonly used decorative materials for bathroom walls and floors are glazed tiles, vitrified tiles and mosaics. Toilet wall tiles must be covered with waterproof, corrosion-resistant and mildew-proof tiles. It is recommended to choose a tile with a certain friction but shallow texture, which is non-slip and avoids hiding evil and accommodating evil, and it is not so difficult to clean.
