When it comes to decorating a house, ceramic tiles are everyone's first choice. So, when it comes to choosing bricks, everyone has their own opinions. If I choose the right one, can I still be wrong? No way! So let’s take a look at the pitfalls we have fallen into when choosing bricks over the years! By the way, let’s popularize the brick selection skills.
1. Misunderstandings in brick selection
1. The more expensive the price, the better the quality
At present, the price of ceramic tiles on the market is uneven, with the unit price per square meter ranging from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan. Coupled with the lack of knowledge about ceramic tiles among many consumers, they will blindly believe that "high price means quality" "Excellent", the money spent exceeds the budget, and the product you finally choose may not be the one you like, and it may not match the overall decoration style.
2. The more certificates, the higher the quality
In order to enable consumers to fully trust their products, many businesses will proactively present various qualification certificates and test reports when introducing products. Consumers who did not understand ceramic tiles in the first place were unable to identify the authority of these certificates. Many people hurriedly purchased the products under the enthusiastic introduction of the salesperson and the guarantee of a large pile of certificates.
3. The designs and colors should be trendy and new
Ceramic tiles, especially glazed tiles, are rich in colors. As a durable product, many people think "since it is not easy to decorate once, just pick a color that they particularly like", while ignoring the quality of the product. Some non-standard manufacturers will also sacrifice product quality and engage in vicious competition in order to cater to consumers' demand for designs and colors.
4. It is troublesome to return if you buy too much
Tiles are the first batch of main materials to enter the construction site, so they must be purchased and reserved at the beginning of the decoration. However, there will be some errors in the measurements before construction, and many designers and sales staff will advise consumers to buy more. Many consumers think this is a sales method used by merchants to increase sales. Even if some consumers understand this behavior, they refuse due to concerns about returns.
5. Glazed tiles cannot be laid on the floor
Many consumers take the word "glazed tile" literally and intuitively think that its surface hardness is not enough and not wear-resistant, so they will not choose this kind of tile as a floor tile, and only limit their choice of floor tiles to polished ones. Bricks or vitrified bricks and other products with higher hardness.

1. Listen
Knock the side section of the ceramic tile with your hand. If the sound is crisp, it means the ceramic tile has better magnetization effect, higher density and better quality.
2. Look
Look at the sides of the tiles. Good tiles have a higher density and no pores. Bad tiles have a thinner density on the side and have pores and are of poor quality. Many tiles are also sandwiched, which can be seen at a glance.
3. Water absorption
Put water on the back of the ceramic tiles. Good ceramic tiles have low water absorption and basically no water absorption when you pour water on them. Bad ceramic tiles absorb water at a higher level and the water you pour on them disappears quickly.
4. Quantity
Take four ceramic tiles and measure their diagonals. If the diagonals are the same, or the error is smaller, it means that the entire batch of ceramic tiles is finely worked. It is produced by a large factory and has stable workmanship.
5. Scrape
Take the key and scratch the glaze of the ceramic tile continuously, and scratch hard. If no trace is left, it means that the wear resistance of the glaze of the ceramic tile is relatively high.
