How to buy good matte tiles
What is the concept of matte bricks?
Matte is relative to polishing, which is a non-glossy surface. It can avoid light pollution and is more convenient to maintain. The polished ones are too bright and eye-catching; the matte ones are easy to get dirty and difficult to take care of. The glazes used in polished glossy tiles and matte tiles are different. Generally, the firing temperature of matte tiles is higher than that of glossy tiles, and the matte glaze is relatively bright. Facing tiles are easy to absorb dirt, but they will not penetrate into the glaze. They can be removed with common cleaners . Matt bricks are better for people's eyes under strong light, and the visual effect is also very good.
Matte bricks are divided into two types: ordinary matt bricks and antique bricks in terms of overall style. However, ordinary matte bricks are most commonly used for decoration, which can be freely cut and combined to form a variety of collage effects. The effect of matte antique bricks on the wall is very soft and natural, giving the eyes a comfortable feeling. Coupled with the various combinations of antique bricks, the wall has an artistic and natural atmosphere.
Therefore, some people think that matte tiles are better than polished tiles and are more tasteful.
So how to choose matte tiles when decorating your home?
Use area and size:
The size of ceramic tiles to choose for decoration depends on the area of the home. If it is a bathroom, we recommend using 300 mm × 300 mm or 330 mm × 330 mm glazed small tiles; it is recommended to use large tiles in the living room. It is best to choose according to the area of the room. The setting is relatively good, but there is no absolute standard for this thing.
Whether the place of use is a dry area or a wet area:
Both matt tiles and gloss tiles are glazed tiles. Generally, gloss tiles are better for bathrooms, while matt glazed tiles are better for bathroom wet areas. Matt glaze is more resistant to hydrolysis than gloss glaze, and will not cause water stains due to hydrolysis reaction after long-term use. Therefore, many families now use matte tiles in kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies.
Pay attention to the budget for construction costs:
Matte tiles do not have such high requirements for flatness, so the construction technology requirements are low. However, due to the need for jointing, the construction cost of this type of tiles is generally slightly higher, and the labor cost is higher when styling. working under constructionThe technical requirements are relatively high, and it is also a very challenging matter for the workers' skills. The fees are directly related to the technology.
Choose high-quality products and reliable brands:
High-quality matte tiles are roller printed during the production process. They have fine and natural textures, high-quality raw materials, no radiation to the human body and outstanding anti-slip effects. The important thing is that high-quality matte tiles have extremely low water absorption and use pure glaze on the surface, making them more stain-resistant and wear-resistant than ordinary matte tiles. Strong brand representatives have strong production capabilities and technical support, and follow-up services are also very standard. Therefore, buying good products and finding a reliable brand are indispensable.
