Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting a friend's new home, and the whole house has a fresh and refined feel.
What impressed me the most was the unique floor design of her home.
On closer inspection, I found that her house did not use traditional doorstones, but chose the method of tiling throughout.
This simple but not simple way of laying makes the whole space appear open and bright, giving people a refreshing visual enjoyment.
Originally, I thought it was an easy choice, but I didn't expect to learn from my friends that there is much more to it.
At the beginning, despite the opposition of my family, I insisted on "tiling through", and I was miserable after 3 years of moving in!
1. Strong integrity
After tiling throughout the living room, the whole space presents a simple and unified visual effect.
The texture of ceramic tiles is hard and smooth, which is not only easy to clean and maintain, but also effective in resisting wear and stains.
Since there are fewer gaps between the tiles, the whole floor looks more integral, with no scattered lines, making the space more neat and orderly.
Good looks
Tile through-through is a very aesthetically pleasing way to decorate the floor, which can make the whole interior space look neater, more comfortable and more beautiful. Compared with the traditional threshold stone, the tile paving is not only more simple and fashionable, but also can improve the overall appearance of the interior.
The use of tiles throughout, can make the whole floor look more uniform.
1. Coordination, without any abrupt feeling.
This is because the material and texture of the tiles are very natural and blend well into the entire interior space.
1. The labor cost of large tiles is high
The reason for the high labor cost of large tiles is not only the problem of the tile itself, but also closely related to the difficulty and workload of its paving.
Whether it is a partition paving or a through-paving method, as the size of the tile increases, the difficulty of paving will increase accordingly.
This is mainly because large-size tiles require higher precision and more meticulous craftsmanship when paving to avoid problems such as unevenness and hollowing.
2. The gap between the ground and the wall is too large
Tiles are laid all over the floor and walls, which is a common way to decorate modern homes.
This can sometimes lead to too large a gap between the floor and the wall, especially in the door frame. These crevices sometimes exceed a centimeter, giving an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
These gaps not only affect the aesthetics, but can also affect the overall appearance of the home. If the baseboard cannot be installed smoothly, then the decoration style and effect of the entire home will be affected.
To solve this problem, some construction teams may use thickening to cover these gaps.
As everyone knows, this method is not always feasible, because it may affect the flatness of the entire floor, which in turn affects the overall effect of the home.
3. The loss of ceramic tiles is large
Tile paving is indeed a large loss, when the tile is paved, the door frame also needs to be laid with tiles, but the ceramic tile specifications on the market often do not match exactly, which needs to be cut.
And this cutting not only increases the difficulty of construction, but also leads to the waste of tiles.
According to statistics, the loss rate of tiles is as much as two times higher than that of traditional laying methods, which is undoubtedly a huge waste.
4. Test the master's skills
The effect of tile laying is crucial to the impact of the entire home environment, it is not only about aesthetics, but also reflects the skill level of the construction master. In the process of tiling throughout, the master's skill directly determines the success or failure of the final effect.
Whether it's clapper positioning or pay-off measurement, any small error can affect the overall effect, making the otherwise perfect design incongruous.
Tile laying requires a high degree of precision and meticulous observation, which places high demands on the craftsmanship of the master.
However, at present, the level of craftsmanship of master bricklayers in the market is uneven, and it is difficult to ensure that every master can meet the ideal standard. This makes the effect of tiling through the tile more like a kind of decoration by chance, and sometimes even if you find a skilled master, you may not be able to achieve the desired effect for some reason.
Write at the end:
If your home is being renovated, I don't recommend you to choose tiles, this is the experience of people who have come over, don't take it seriously.
