In daily life, strolling through your own yard after a meal can not only help digestion, maintain health, but also soothe your mood. The decoration style of the small courtyard directly affects the mood, and a good decoration design can effectively eliminate the fatigue of the day, on the contrary, it may make people lose the fun of walking and feel unhappy. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose the ground decoration materials of rural courtyards. Next, Bajie Meizhai will introduce in detail the cost comparison of laying floor tiles and playing cement (concrete) in rural courtyards.

Ground pavement material refers to the decorative structural layer used for the interior of the building and the surface of the ground, the common types of cement mortar floor, marble floor, terrazzo floor and wood floor, etc., can be selected according to personal economic conditions and aesthetic preferences.

For the specific advantages and disadvantages of brick laying and cementing.

Paving bricks: There are many types of floor tiles, beautiful color patterns, and are widely loved by the public. Its deep texture and good anti-slip performance make it especially suitable for families with elderly and children at home. However, the life span of floor tiles is relatively short, for example, my friend's small yard is paved with floor tiles, although there is no obstruction to pedestrian movement, but if there are agricultural machinery in and out, the floor tiles are vulnerable to damage. In addition, the gaps between the floor tiles are not conducive to drying grain, and small crops such as wheat and corn may fall into the gaps, causing inconvenience to drying.

Cement: The advantages of cement floor are mainly reflected in high strength and durability, so you don't have to worry about damage to it caused by agricultural machinery; In addition, its surface is flat, which is convenient for drying grain, unlike floor tiles, which has the problem of particle collapse. In addition, the cost of laying concrete floors is lower than laying floor tiles, which is more economical.

However, the concrete floor also has shortcomings, such as poor anti-skid performance, especially in the rainy areas of the south, the problem of slippery ground is particularly prominent, and additional anti-skid measures need to be taken. At the same time, cement floors are not as good as floor tiles in terms of aesthetics, and families who pursue aesthetics often tend to choose floor tiles over cement floors.

Through the above analysis of the cost-effectiveness of laying floor tiles and cementing in rural courtyards, I believe you have a clear understanding. Although the cost of cement is low, the anti-skid performance is insufficient, and there may be potential safety hazards for families with elderly and children;

Although the floor tiles are slightly higher, they are more suitable for family members, especially the elderly and children. In the end, the decision on whether to use brick or cement for the small courtyard is to make the most suitable choice according to your actual needs and budget.
