Decoration is like a pot of stew with everything in it. If you want to cook a good dish, you must know enough about the ingredients. Ceramic tile is one of the most common building materials in decoration. Many consumers who buy tiles will feel very confused after they have been to the store. What are the classifications of tiles? What is a polished tile? What is glazed tile? What is a non-slip brick? In order to make this pot stew, let's look at the classification of tiles and the classification pictures of tiles!

According to the laying position

Tiles can be divided into indoor tiles and outdoor tiles according to the paving position.

1. Indoor tiles are divided into vitrified tiles, polished tiles, inferior smooth brick tiles, glazed tiles, printed tiles, non-slip tiles, and special acid-resistant tiles (used for floors with high corrosiveness such as laboratories).

2. Outdoor tiles are divided into square tiles and lawn tiles.

According to the scope of use

Ceramic tiles are classified according to the scope of use, including ceramic tiles, interior wall tiles and exterior wall tiles (those with balconies at home can be used).

three

According to the production process

Ceramic tiles are divided into: antique tiles, glazed tiles, whole-body tiles, polished tiles, vitrified tiles and ceramic brocade tiles.

1. Polished tiles classified by tiles

Polished brick is a kind of bright brick made by grinding/polishing the whole brick surface, which belongs to integral brick. Compared with the whole brick, the surface of polished brick is much smoother. Polished tiles are hard and wear-resistant, and are suitable for most indoor spaces except bathrooms and kitchens. Based on the application of flower infiltration technology, polished tiles can make various stone-like and wood-like effects. Polished tiles are easy to get dirty and their anti-skid performance is not very good.

2. Vitrified tiles for ceramic tile classification

This is a kind of porcelain brick fired at high temperature, which is the hardest of all tiles. Vitrified tiles have higher technological requirements than polished tiles. It is required that the press should be better, which can press higher density and fire at higher temperature, and achieve full porcelain. Vitrified tiles are reinforced polished tiles. The surface is bright and does not need polishing. Can be more resistant to dirt. Polished tiles and vitrified tiles are beautiful and wear-resistant, and are generally used in living rooms.

3. Glazed tiles for ceramic tile classification

It is made by adding glaze to the surface of the embryo and firing. The main body is divided into ceramic body and porcelain body. The back of clay firing is red, and the back of porcelain firing is gray. Various patterns and patterns can be made on the surface of glazed tiles. Richer colors and patterns than polished tiles. Because the surface is glazed, the wear resistance is not as good as polished tiles and vitrified tiles. The identification of glazed tiles depends not only on the size, but also on the water absorption. Generally, good brick presses are good, with high density, high firing temperature and low water absorption. Glazed tiles are generally used in kitchens and bathrooms. Rich colors and patterns, good anti-skid performance. Glazed tiles are generally not very big, but they can also be very small, such as mosaics. At present, about 80% home decoration buyers choose this brick as the floor decoration material.

4. Antique tiles classified by tiles

It is not a product of China ceramic industry, but imported from abroad. Antique brick is evolved from colored glazed brick, which is actually glazed tile. Compared with ordinary glazed tiles, the difference is mainly manifested in the glaze color. Antique tiles belong to ordinary tiles, which are basically the same as magnetic disks. The so-called antique refers to the effect of tiles, which should be called antique tiles. Antique tiles are not difficult to clean. The only difference is that the technical content of antique bricks is relatively high in the firing process. It is pressed by thousands of tons of hydraulic press and sintered at thousands of degrees, with high strength and strong wear resistance. After careful development, antique brick has the characteristics of waterproof, anti-slip and corrosion resistance. Antique brick imitates the old style and attracts people's attention with its unique classical charm. In order to reflect the vicissitudes of the years and the heavy history, antique bricks create a nostalgic atmosphere through styles, colors and patterns.

5. Classification of ceramic tiles: ceramic brocade

Also known as mosaic, it has many specifications, thin and small, hard texture, acid resistance, alkali resistance, wear resistance, water seepage resistance, strong compression resistance, not easy to break, diverse colors and wide application.

6. Classification of ceramic tiles.

This is a kind of unglazed porcelain brick with good anti-slip and wear resistance. Generally speaking, "non-slip floor tiles" are mostly bricks. This kind of brick is moderately priced and very popular with consumers.
