Tile materials have always been an indispensable building material in home decoration. But nowadays a variety of tile materials have different characteristics in terms of practicality and decoration. Facing different decoration and decoration design needs. How do we choose the tile material is a problem that plagues many people. The following rose gold glass mosaic supplier makes a brief analysis of the current classification, characteristics and application of different types of ceramic tile materials.

1. Glazed tile

Glazed tile is a kind of ceramic tile material with special glaze layer burned on the tile surface. Some of these tiles are fired from clay, some are fired from porcelain, and glazed tiles fired from clay have strong water absorption, and their strength is relatively low. It is rarely used in decoration and decoration design. Another type of glazed tile fired from porcelain clay has both advantages. The water absorption rate is relatively low and its strength is relatively low. Therefore, although its price is higher than that of glazed tile fired from clay, but the application is It is relatively extensive.

2. Whole body tiles

Through-body tiles are unglazed porcelain tiles. The material of the front and back of this brick is the same, and the abrasion resistance and slip resistance are very good. Whole body bricks are uniform in color, so they are often used in the floors of balconies, halls, kitchens, aisles, bathrooms and outdoor walkways, but whole body bricks are rarely used on walls.

3. Polished

Polished brick is a kind of bright brick formed after the surface of the whole brick is polished, so the surface of this brick is much smoother than the whole brick. In addition, the polished tiles are hard and wear-resistant, looking magnificent and luxurious. However, polishing tiles will leave some uneven air holes during the polishing process, which is easy to hide dirt and stains, so it cannot be used in the kitchen and toilets.

4. Vitrified brick

The so-called vitrified tiles are actually full tiles. This brick is fired at high temperature, so it is harder in texture than any other ceramic tile material, and it can be said to be the hardest ceramic tile. Secondly, the brick surface of the vitrified brick is not glazed, so its anti-skid performance and abrasion resistance are relatively good, and its water absorption is relatively low. However, the texture of vitrified bricks is hard to cut, so they are relatively large in size, so they are often used on the ground, and even in the bathroom, they are mostly used in the bathroom.

5. Mosaic tiles

Similar to the mosaics we commonly see in film and television. Mosaic tile is a relatively large brick composed of dozens of smaller bricks. The color of this brick is bright, lively and colorful, which is more suitable for the decoration of small-area rooms.

Mosaic tiles can be divided into ceramic, marble, and glass mosaics. Among them, ceramic mosaic tiles are the most traditional mosaic tiles, which are monotonous in color and poor in texture. Marble mosaic tiles are relatively rich in color, but their acid and alkali resistance and waterproof performance are not very good. Glass mosaic tile such as rectangle glass mosaic can be said to be the first choice for interior decoration design. It is colorful and flickers when it is exposed to light. It is highly decorative.

This kind of brick has a very special old treatment, so it will have a strong sense of history. With different colors, patterns and styles, it is easy to create a nostalgic atmosphere. The antique brick has high strength, and has relatively strong abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, non-slip and waterproof performance. In terms of size, it is mostly small, and it is best not to cut it, otherwise it will affect the overall decorative effect.
