Bathroom decoration is different from other places
Because this place has been in contact with water for a long time
Features of small space and dense functions
So there are many things to consider when selecting materials
No headache
Zhong Taojun will help you with all kinds of things
A summary of things to note when choosing bathroom tiles
No more nonsense
First point
The water absorption rate must be small
Low water absorption is the minimum requirement for bathroom tiles
This kind of quick brick body with dry brick surface is not easy to be damaged by soaking
Otherwise
Your bathroom is in that wet state all day long
It is also easy to breed mold
Some businesses that make glazed tiles
There is a practice of pouring water on bricks to measure water absorption
Actually, this is unscientific
The glaze layer on the brick surface does not absorb water, which does not mean that the brick body does not absorb water
So it is best to trust professional water absorption testing
Second point
Must be non-slip
Most of the anti-slip tiles on the market are physically anti-slip
Add wrinkles, stripes, or bumps to the surface
However, most of these tiles tend to hide dirt and are difficult to clean
Same as water absorption
Anti-slip also has professional friction coefficient testing
But the friction between the floor tile surface and the soles of human feet or shoes
Affected by many factors
So we cannot rely too much on experimental data
The third point
Don’t use large-sized bricks
In a small place like the bathroom
Use large size ceramic tiles
It’s just nonsense
Except that construction will be very difficult
It also particularly affects the appearance
So the most commonly used bathroom floor tiles are 300*300mm
The most commonly used bathroom wall tiles are 600*300mm
In addition, there are many small and irregular bricks
The fourth point
Magic mosaic
Ceramic mosaic is also called ceramic mosaic tile
It is a layer of glaze on the surface of the ceramic body,
Equivalent to a very small tile
Having the advantages of high strength, toughness and thermal shock resistance of ceramic products
It is also moisture-proof, waterproof, wear-resistant and easy to clean
The small mosaic patterns can also add some aura to a small bathroom
To make up for the relative lack of lighting and ventilation in small bathrooms
It is simply the savior of the difficulty in selecting bathroom tiles
The fifth point
Tips for dry and wet separation
Creating a refreshing bathroom is everyone’s ultimate dream

It also prevents sockets and electrical appliances from coming into contact with moisture to ensure the safety of electricity use
