How to choose floor tiles if they are not paved

There are many reasons for the uneven floor tiles. One is the quality of the floor tiles, and the other is the construction reasons. What should we do when encountering the uneven floor tiles? How to choose good quality floor tiles in the early stage? Let's talk about it today.

The main causes of uneven floor tiles

The uneven floor tiles are not only due to the technical reasons of professional masters. Here are several common reasons for your reference:

1. Incorrect paving method, not avoiding concave convex deformation surface

There will be concave and convex sides on all four sides of the tiles, which are not exactly the same. When the two sides of concave deformation and convex deformation are combined, it is likely to cause drop and uneven floor tiles.

2. Stepped on when not completely dry

After the completion of tile laying and pointing, if you do not wait until it is completely dry, you will step on it, of course, it will affect the flatness after that.

3. Process limitations

The soft polishing technology is adopted for full glaze polishing, which is different from the hard polishing of polished bricks, so it is impossible to carry out hard scraping. When we buy full glaze, we will also find that under the light, the objects we see, such as light tubes, look like waves or arches. Although some manufacturers thicken the glaze and polish it again to improve the flatness of the products, this problem has not been completely solved.

4. Adopt 'seamless tiling', more stringent requirements on tile flatness

With the continuous maturity of tiling technology and tile edge grinding technology, many owners hope to adopt seamless tiling, and it is impossible to truly achieve seamless tiling. Although ceramic tile belongs to the material with relatively stable physical properties, it will still be affected by many factors such as temperature and humidity, resulting in linear expansion, surface expansion, volume expansion and other physical phenomena. These small changes are also the important reasons that determine the seam laying of ceramic tile.

How to deal with the uneven floor tiles

1. When the tiles are not dry after being pasted, they will be trampled, which will cause the tiles to sink. You can ask the decorator to help you gently tap it back to level. If there is more subsidence, it can be removed and repaired again.

2. If the tiles are completely set on the ground, they can only be broken and taken out with tools, then filled with cement, and replaced with new floor tiles.

3. In the case of large area irregularity, it will be difficult to correct the local patching, so it can only be done again. Be sure to find a professional floor tile master, paste out the effect is really different, whether it is the durability and aesthetic degree.

The quality of floor tiles

There is an old saying in Chinese business that one cent is worth one cent. The quality is an important indicator of the price. Of course, we should pay attention to whether the more expensive is the better the quality. We ordinary people still pay attention to cost performance. The following is the identification method for judging the quality of floor tiles:

1. Look at the appearance of the floor tiles to see if the color is uniform, the surface finish and flatness are good, the surrounding is regular, and the pattern is complete. Take out four or five pieces from a box to see if there are any defects such as color difference, deformation, lack of edges and corners.

2. Listen to the sound and tap with hard objects. The clearer the sound, the higher the degree of porcelain and the better the quality. You can also use your left thumb, index finger and middle finger to hold a corner of the tile and hang it down easily. Tap the middle and lower part of the tile with your right index finger. If the sound is clear and pleasant, it is the top grade. If the sound is dull, it is the bottom grade.

3. Drip test can drop water on the back of the tile to see how quickly the water will soak after it is dispersed. Generally speaking, the slower the water absorption, the higher the density of the ceramic tile; on the contrary, the faster the water absorption, the sparse the density, and the former is better.

4. The higher the accuracy of the side length of the tiles, the better the effect after laying. It is not only easy to buy high-quality tiles, but also save time and auxiliary materials. Use a tape measure to measure whether there is difference around the size of each tile. The one with high accuracy is the top grade. In addition to observe the hardness, ceramic tiles to good hardness, toughness, not fragile rotten for the top. Scratch each other with the edges and corners of the tiles. Check whether the broken pieces are fine or loose, hard, brittle or soft, and whether they leave scratches or scattered powder. If the former is the top grade, the latter is the poor quality.

Brand differences of floor tiles

The so-called big brands must be more expensive than ordinary brands. What I'm talking about here is expensive. There are mainly advertising, service, after-sales and so on. The cost of advertising. Especially for brands that ask stars to advertise, these advertising fees can be converted into costs. In addition, after-sales and service is also a key point of the floor tile brand competition. The reputation is good, the popularity is big and the price is not low.

New and old types of floor tiles

Generally, the new floor tiles will be more expensive. The investment in preliminary design proofing is relatively large. Some ceramic tile manufacturers are also known as foreign designers. If you think about the concept of the treatment of foreign designers, it is not apportioned to consumers. In addition, new products must be eliminated with old ones, otherwise, how can there be reason to increase the price?
