Soft bricks, in the past two years, can be said to be popular all over the home circle, very delicate texture performance, is simply favored by countless people, and no matter what decoration style at home, can show a good effect.
But in fact, cases of overturning of soft bricks also abound, and even brought great trouble to life.
As many netizens said, how much I liked it at the beginning, how much I dislike it now, I really want to smash it all.
In this issue, let's talk about the tiles at home, how to choose better.
1. What are the problems of soft light bricks?
In fact, the biggest problem of soft light tiles is that they are easy to absorb dirt and difficult to take care of. Even if you are a very diligent person in life, you will be tormented by the hygiene problems of soft bricks.
Netizen @ mom big bad wolf cl:
I knew that the soft light brick was not resistant to dirt, so I chose a light gray brick, thinking that the color would be darker, it should be better, but after moving in, I found that the imagination did not match reality.
Although the ground has not been taken care of for 5 days, there are sweeping robots every day, and it is strongly recommended that lazy people do not pave soft light tiles, and they can't look at it closely.
Netizen @ Peach Juice Cola:
Friends who came to my house said that the soft light bricks were high-grade and very textured. In fact, I don't deny the appearance of soft bricks, but it's really dirty. Even if you lose a hair, you can see it clearly, you can only use a sweeping robot to clean it up constantly, it's too painful and troublesome, and the cleanliness party must not be paved.
Netizen @小威儿:
Since I laid the soft light tiles in my home, I finally know what it means to take one step at a time. The floor must not be mopped wet, otherwise there will be a feeling that it will get dirtier and dirtier the more it is mopped.
This is true not only for the living room, but also for the kitchen and bathroom. Otherwise, as long as you come out of the kitchen and bathroom, there will still be footprints on the floor of the living room. Now that I've given up, it's dirty, and I really regret laying soft tiles.
Second, how to choose soft bricks?
If you are a diligent person in life and like soft tiles very much, then you need to pay attention to the following two points when buying. Otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Glaze: choose velvet without skin glaze
Most of the soft bricks on the market are skin glaze materials, the biggest problem of this kind of ceramic tile is that due to the glaze properties, the ceramic tile is calcined at high temperature, and the glaze is prone to bubbles, bulging and other defects.
Many people should be familiar with this point. That is, when the boxes of tiles are bought, the master will always find that there are pinholes, bubbles and other problems on the glaze of several tiles in the process of paving. Of course, if the master does not find out, then after the paving is done, it will inevitably affect the overall effect.
Therefore, I recommend that you choose velvet glaze as an upgraded version of skin glaze. Although many businesses have different definitions of it, one thing is definitely the same. That is, the glaze of the tile is smoother, more stain resistant, and there are no pores.
Embryo bottom: choose all porcelain not half porcelain
Whether the tile is good or not, the embryo bottom determines half. It is recommended to choose an all-ceramic embryo bottom, that is, the water absorption rate is less than 05% of the tiles, mopping the floor will not have a fishy smell.
It is also relatively simple to distinguish, as follows:
1) Weight: The density of the whole tile is very high, so the weight is also relatively heavy.
2) Soaking water: The whole tile almost does not absorb water, and there will be bubbles in the water when the half tile is thrown.
3) Sound: When your fingers hit the middle of the tile, the sound of the whole tile is thick and long.
3. What should I pay attention to when choosing tiles?
In fact, when we choose tiles, there is no need to knock the soft light bricks, combined with the actual situation of their own home to choose, but it will not be wrong.
Glossy bricks are not bad
With the soft light brick out of the circle, many people have set their eyes on the matte brick.
In fact, if you are a lazy person, or have poor lighting at home, then glossy bricks are not a very good choice. In addition to effectively enhancing the brightness of the space, it is also relatively easy to care for and does not look dirty.
Try to choose light-colored bricks
In order to create a sense of luxury, many people will put darker colored tiles in their homes. For example, the most common gray tile is a very typical example.
But in fact, dark tiles not only significantly reduce the light in the space, but also create a sense of oppression.
So if you want not to roll over, you can't go wrong with choosing light-colored bricks, such as off-white, beige, wood grain color, and so on. It's very heartwarming when the effect comes out.
Rational choice of big bricks
With the listing of tiles of 600*1200mm, 750*1500mm and other specifications, many people will blindly choose large bricks in order to make their homes look more atmospheric, even in kitchens and bathrooms.
But in fact, the larger the size of the tile**, the higher the cost, and the more expensive the paving work. If the area of the home is not large, the effect of large bricks is not obvious, and it will only cost more money in vain.
Therefore, if it is a house type of about 120, it is good to choose 800*800mm floor tiles for the living room, and 400*800mm for the wall tiles of the kitchen and bathroom.
Branding matters
It is said that it is good to buy tiles and recognize Guangdong bricks, and you don't need to pay attention to the brand. Especially after many bloggers say that non-brand Guangdong bricks are better and more cost-effective, many people are convinced of this.
But in fact, not all Cantonese bricks are good, and not all non-Cantonese bricks are bad. Although the premium of brand bricks is more serious, the quality control and quality are also more serious
In other words, as long as it is a big brand of tile, even if the production place is not in Guangdong, the tile can be used with confidence.
Therefore, if you don't know about ceramic tiles, then you can't go wrong with choosing brand tiles, even if you don't choose a first-line brand, you must at least use a second- or third-line brand.
Write at the end:
To sum up, soft light bricks are very beautiful but also difficult to take care of, if you don't consider the later life to choose blindly, it will inevitably bring endless troubles to life. I don't know what kind of tiles you have in your house?
