The water absorption rate of ceramic tiles has always been as low as possible, because it is not easy to absorb dirt and is not easy to take care of, but it is not feasible if it is too low. Manager Zhang of Shunhui Ceramic Tiles told me that the water absorption rate of ceramic tile products used to be a few percent, but now many enterprises control it at one thousandth, and the previous cement was used in large quantities in construction, which led to the sticking of ceramic tile products, especially those directly on the wall. In fact, tiles still need a certain water absorption to ensure that the shop is firmly laid. If cement mortar is used instead of any tile binder, the back of the tile with water absorption of about 10% is generally rough, which is beneficial to sticking to the wall and has better bonding firmness. Ceramic tiles have high water absorption, but the disadvantage is that they are easy to penetrate into liquids. Some even absorb the water in the cement mortar from behind when sticking bricks, which will enter the glaze and produce traces. However, under the influence of temperature, if it is not handled properly, it is easy to cause cracks between the glaze and the green body of ceramic tiles. The use function of wall tiles and floor tiles is different, and the required water absorption is also different. The living room should choose tiles with low water absorption rate, because frequent activities may bring frequent pollution, and loose brick holes can easily absorb moisture and dirt, thus bringing embarrassing and difficult-to-clean traces. Wall tiles can choose tiles with high water absorption, while floors, especially bathrooms, should choose tiles with low water absorption. Low water absorption can also ensure that tiles will not be deformed due to excessive expansion.
