Usually when selecting floor materials for home decoration,
Anti-slip is an important factor that people consider.
Thought only bathrooms and kitchens need anti-slip floor tiles?
Then you are wrong.
No matter where you are, you need to pay attention to the anti-slip problem of the floor,
Because this is about the safety of your family,
Especially if there are elderly people, pregnant women and children at home.
Floor tiles with good anti-slip properties generally have a friction coefficient above 0.5,
This floor tile meets safety levels.
If the friction coefficient is below 0.34,
This means that this kind of floor tile has poor anti-slip performance and poses a safety hazard.
So what kind of anti-slip floor tiles are there on the market?
Zhongtao Jun is here to talk to you today.
What are the anti-slip floor tiles
1.Full-body brick:
This is a relatively wear-resistant tile, and there is no glaze layer on the surface, so it is more slippery than other tiles. Very suitable for entrance hallways, outdoor walkways, living rooms, and balcony floors. However, one disadvantage of full-body bricks is that there are open pores on the surface of the bricks that are not resistant to stains. After being used for a long time, the surface will turn black, yellow, and lose its luster.
2.Polished tiles:
This is a brick with a polished surface. Compared with the rough surface of the full-body brick, the polished brick is much brighter. itThe texture is hard, wear-resistant, and has good anti-slip properties, making it very suitable for living rooms.
3. Anti-slipGlazed tiles:
Using a special process, the glaze can be fired with wrinklesstripes , uniform and small dots of concave and convex bricks to increase the connection between the floor tile surface and the soles of human feet or shoesFriction, thereby achieving wear resistance, stain resistance and anti-slip effects. Great for bathrooms and kitchens.
4. Wood grain bricks:
Wood grain tiles are also a type of glazed tiles and are called wood grain tiles because they imitate wood grain. Wood grain tiles are mostly matte tiles, with a higher anti-slip coefficient than polished tiles and porcelain tiles, and more wear-resistant than solid wood floors, and there is no air pollution problem, so they are very suitable for paving bedroom floors.
5. Mosaic:
Mosaic is also called ceramic mosaic tile. This kind of tile is small, exquisite, colorful, and has excellent anti-slip effect. It can be said to be the first choice for bathroom floor paving.
What should you pay attention to when buying anti-slip floor tiles
Wear resistance:
When purchasing tiles with a glaze layer on the surface, you should observe whether the glaze is uniform, whether the flatness is intact, and whether there are scratches. Choosing floor tiles with higher surface hardness will be more wear-resistant.
Water absorption:
When purchasing, you should also pay attention to the water absorption rate of floor tiles, especially when laying them on balconies, kitchens and bathrooms, which are often exposed to water. The higher the density, the lower the water absorption rate, and the better the anti-fouling performance.
Anti-slip:
If you want to know the anti-skid performance of floor tiles, in addition to understanding its anti-skid coefficient, you can also personally check whether the floor tiles are anti-skid by using eyes, hands, foot tests, and water tests.
After reading the aboveZhong Taojun’s introduction,
You must now know how to buy good anti-slip floor tiles.
Safety issues must not be ignored,
Therefore, the anti-slip performance of the product is very important when purchasing floor tiles.
To buy good quality anti-skid tiles, you must first choose the right brand.
