Some time ago, a fan sent me a private message, asking me how to choose tiles? As we all know, tiles are used by every household, even if the floor is all paved with wooden floors, the kitchen bathroom is also tiled. Therefore, as a necessity at home, tiles must be selected well when purchasing, be sure to polish your eyes, and do not choose the wrong one to regret it!
Light tiles
01 The public area cannot be paved with 600*600 or 800*800 floor tiles
Many people buy tiles directly at the price and do not look at other aspects of things. Now these two specifications of floor tiles will look stingy when applied to the ground, and will make the living room and dining room more cluttered. If you want to buy, be sure to buy 600 * 1200 or 750 * 1500 specifications of tiles, otherwise it is really ugly!
It's just that the cost of laying large-scale floor tiles will be high, and if the floor tiles are on the wall, you have to use tile adhesive. And the tile adhesive you can not buy cheap, because the cheap is not environmentally friendly quality is not good, so this piece can not be saved. Large-scale floor tile laying accessories are expensive, labor costs are also expensive, and the general labor cost is half more expensive, because when laying, it is also necessary for two people to lift up and slowly pave.
02 Do not stick dark bricks in the kitchenette
The kitchen is small, be sure not to lay dark floor tiles and wall tiles, which will make the kitchen appear smaller. The kitchen tiles are as light as possible, and can be jazz white or gray. These two kinds of one is to enlarge the space, one is to be dirty, can be selected. Try not to choose dark bricks, it's really not good.
In fact, there can also be a money-saving trick, that is, the kitchen cabinet can not be bricked, with cement mortar powder flat, after all, there are cabinets blocking, do not hinder things. If you can't pass the psychological barrier, then you can buy cheap bricks and paste them casually, which saves a fee. When renovating, the money must be spent on the blade.
03 The kitchen should try not to paste antique bricks, frosted bricks, matte bricks and other difficult bricks
As we all know, the kitchen smoke is big, if you buy tiles to look good, to buy some antique bricks, matte bricks, then the later care of health you do not have to complain about the day. Because these kinds of bricks are so difficult to take care of, the kitchen oil stains will basically be all over.
And the corners of the antique bricks are uneven, there is a slope, when the antique bricks were designed, this slope surface was for good looks. But for the kitchen, this is not friendly!
This point, friends who like American style, must remember! Remember not to look good, it will be more than worth the loss!
04 Try not to lay small tiles in the kitchen and bathroom without stripes
I've seen a lot of customers, especially those who choose the all-inclusive package. When they choose tiles, they choose non-ribbed tiles, because when the renovation company provides them with non-ribbed tiles. This kind of tile look very good, but the feeling of posting it is really too bad, and it is dizzy to look at.
The feeling of non-striped tiles is really bad, and I personally do not recommend non-striped tiles in the kitchen bathroom. The tiles are very good-looking, and naturally not stiff, and the non-ribbed tiles will definitely collapse if people with dense phobias look at them.
You see if this tile looks dizzy, and it doesn't look upscale or good-looking. If you really want to choose textured ones, then it is recommended to choose the textured ones! If you insist on choosing non-concatenated, then choose large bricks on the wall, so beautiful and atmospheric. It's just that the cost will be higher, but for the sake of the beauty of the home, spending more money should also be right?
05 The kitchen bathroom is less mosaic tiled
I remember before 2008, when a lot of construction sites liked to use mosaics. Remember, this is not an embellishment, and the large area is spread, and I am very broken. If it is a local embellishment, such as laying some behind the toilet, I can also accept it, but many local tycoons in order to show that they are rich, the whole bathroom is mosaic. I made a mosaic or imported from Japan, that kind of mosaic is a sky-high price!
It's definitely super hassle to take care of in the end, and although they all have babysitters at home, I still don't recommend them using mosaics to pave the kitchen bathroom. Hiding dirt and grime is really not a wise move!
This uneven mosaic is very good-looking, but cleaning is really difficult. It is really expensive to hide dirt and dirt at every turn, and to scrub a little bit at every turn! Therefore, in order to have a higher quality of life, we must pay attention to this!
Mosaic pattern
And this kind of mosaic or small size tile, the cost of work is really very high. I posted a bathroom, and I was asked for a hundred dollars a square. At that time, it was 2008, one square hundred, and you think about what concept. I remember that when ordinary workers laid 600*600/800*800 tiles, they only paid 23 yuan a square.
Mosaic pasted art space
06 Tiles try to buy offline, do not shop online
Nowadays, many people like to shop online, including everything they use at home. There is nothing wrong with online shopping itself, the fault is in online shopping tiles. Tiles are such things, the difference between offline and online is very large.
I designed a villa in Fontainebleau, Provence, Zhengzhou, Henan, and the customers of this villa like to shop online, and many materials are purchased online. At that time, I advised her not to buy tiles online, but she did not listen, she said that many people on the Internet said that this brick is very good, and it is an Internet celebrity model, and the sales are the first.
I mean I can't move her, just let her come. As a result, after the tiles arrived, we not only had to pick themselves up, but also asked someone to carry them. This is not the focus, the focus is on the opening, found that the tiles have a lot of broken corners, there are many places are also mutilated, and there is color difference.
The color difference is very obvious, not as good as it is said on the Internet, of course, not so bad, but it is much lower than the customer's psychological expectations. In fact, the overall cost is not low, the customer let replace a batch of bricks, customer service does not give the replacement, and the final complaint is useless. The last bathroom, or the bricks bought offline solved the problem.
So when buying tiles, be sure to buy them offline, don't buy them online! This is a bloody fact, I hope you take it as a warning! Buy tiles also need to look for the place of origin, if you want to buy good, you must buy Foshan, Guangdong. Guangdong Foshan ceramics are not how good the soil quality is, and the machinery and equipment are good, their glazing, high temperature pressing, anti-scratch technology are the world's top, no one! So buy bricks must polish your eyes to prevent buying inferior bricks from other places!
07 If it is the first floor and the second floor, try not to use dark floor tiles
The light on the first floor and the second floor is generally poor, if we choose dark floor tiles when renovating, then the whole room is dark and dull. You go in and estimate the feeling of not seeing five fingers, so the light is poor, choose bright bricks, do not pick dark colors.
In fact, what I said is not absolute, but the light is poor, so don't easily choose dark bricks. So less stepping on the pit, believe me, it would be better to choose a light color! Having said the above, have you learned?
