Ceramic tiles are also a necessity in decoration, so when we buy tiles, we often don’t know how to choose them. Let’s summarize the experience of purchasing tiles for you. If you buy ceramic tiles again, you will know whether the tiles are good or bad.

1. First check the label of the tile

On the label of the tiles, mainly look at the 3C logo on the tile packaging. In addition, you also need to look at the tile’s factory name, factory address, product specifications and models, as well as the production date, trademark, and quantity. If the above information is not clean and clear, then this kind of tile may not be a very good tile.

2. Check the appearance of the tiles again

After we unpack the tiles, look at the appearance of the tiles. First, look at the smoothness and fineness of the tile surface. You can put the tiles in the sun to see the reflected light. If the reflected light is relatively uniform, it means that the surface is relatively flat.

At the same time, we can also look at the tiles from the side to see if there are any subtle defects on the surface of the tiles.

Another thing is to look at the fineness of the pattern of the tiles, and the shading on the back of the tiles. High-quality tiles will have obvious trademarks. You can pay attention to this detail.
3. Tap to listen to the sound

First, pick up a corner with your hand, let it hang down naturally, and then tap the middle and lower part of the tile to listen to the sound. If the sound is crisp and melodious, it means that the quality of this kind of tile is better; if the sound sounds dull, don’t buy this kind of tile. Maybe the firing period of this kind of tile is short and the temperature is low when firing. The quality is not good either.

4. Test the water absorption of tiles

The water absorption rate of the tiles will also affect the quality of our usual paving. If the water absorption rate is too high, it will absorb the moisture of the cement mortar, causing the tiles to be easy to hollow and fall.

We can drip water on the back of the tiles during the test to see the water absorption speed of the tiles. If the water on the ground is quickly absorbed by the tiles, it means that the tiles have a high water absorption rate. After comparison, we had better choose tiles with a lower water absorption rate. The product.
