Tiles are popular in the home improvement market due to their varied styles, rich patterns, complete functions, and easy-to-clean features. They are used in the living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom space, and are almost "homeless." brick"……
Let's take a look at what tiles are cost-effective and how to save money to buy good tiles.
Through what channel to buy
The price of merchandise sales is directly proportional to the quality of its sales environment. The higher the price of a good store, the higher the price of the sale. The worse the store, the lower the sales price. It is more cost-effective to buy products in a poor place.
So where is the worst storefront? Online group purchases do not require a storefront, so it is easy to achieve the lowest price, especially the group purchase activities supported by the tile distributor. Often, in order to provide competitiveness, the general agent will launch multiple free home-return services, which is very valuable.
If we buy products in a tile shop, the boss is a self-employed person. When you bargain, when you bargain, they will agree to the offer, and you can get the price below the reserve price. When you arrive at the building materials supermarket, no one will bargain with you. You can't get a price below the reserve price. The conclusion is that it is more expensive to buy products in the building materials supermarket.
The worse thing is that the building materials supermarket service is relatively poor. I said that the purchase of ceramic tiles requires the replenishment service. If you can ask for 2 times to return the replenishment service in the ordinary tile store, you can also ask the merchant store to return the replenishment. Building materials supermarket returns can go to the store, you have to replenish the goods can be miserable, you have to go to the total generation of warehouses in the urban and rural areas, you have to find a car to transport, carry it yourself.
Therefore, the building materials supermarket is only one of the sales channels of the total generation of ceramic tiles. Although the supermarket shelves are full of products, how much? They are also basically unstocked.
What should I pay attention to when buying tiles?
First of all, pay attention to the purchase of products produced by regular manufacturers, and ask the sales personnel for product environmental monitoring reports. According to national standards, ceramic tiles are divided into excellent grades, first grade, second grade and four grades. The appearance can be judged by the following problems:
1. Color difference, it is important that there is no difference in color depth between bricks and bricks of the same product name;
2. The size of the head, the length of the same brick stack is inconsistent to the size of the head;
3. Large and small pieces, the lengths of the corresponding sides of bricks and bricks of the same variety are inconsistent, and are large and small pieces;
4. Deformation, such as the edge is not straight, Quqiao, etc. 5. Surface quality is defective, such as glazed unevenness, pinhole, falling slag, falling corners, etc.
5. Water absorption rate, high quality tiles have low water absorption. Tiles with high water absorption rate are easy to absorb water, which will cause cracking of the tile surface and peeling of the whole brick after being heated and contracted.
If the water layer does not indicate the water absorption rate, water droplets may be on the back of the tile. After a few minutes, the water droplets are observed to diffuse. The less water is absorbed, the lower the water absorption rate and the better the quality;
6. The degree of porcelain can be tapped on the tile to hear whether the sound is crisp and the sound is the most, indicating that the higher the texture density of the tile, the better the hardness, the surface of the brick is scraped than the hard object can be used. If the scratch occurs, it means that the glaze is insufficient. After the surface glaze is polished, the brick surface is easily stained and difficult to clean.
Note that when purchasing, the name, specification, quantity, unit price and amount of the tile must be indicated on the invoice. The name, address, contact person, and telephone number of the famous manufacturer can be contacted and resolved in time for quality problems.
In addition, no matter what brick, the glaze should be smooth and delicate, the gloss glaze should be crystal and bright, and the glaze should be soft and comfortable. According to the national environmental protection standards, the radiation level of decorative materials is divided into three categories:
Class A decorative materials, decoration materials in the natural radionuclide ra-226, é’-232, potassium-40 radioactive avoidance of poison while buying foot 1Ra less than 1.01r less than 1.3 requirements for decorative materials, production and marketing and use is not limited. Class B materials shall not be used for the interior finish of a building, but may be used for exterior finishes of civil buildings and for interior and exterior finishes of all other buildings. Class C decoration materials that do not meet the requirements of Class A and Class B decorative materials but meet the requirements of I r ≤ 2.8, can only be used for exterior finishes and other uses of buildings.
How to check the quality of tiles
In some online rankings, there are large brands, and the reputation is really good. However, this ranking is actually of little significance. It is recommended to go to the building materials market.
The brand that chooses the tile also chooses the big brand as much as possible, and the quality is guaranteed. We must also test the quality by ourselves and do our own. Test the following:
1. It can be beaten, and the sound is crisp and the porcelain density and hardness are high and the quality is good. (Gently tapping the floor tile by hand, if the brick emits a "beep, slap" sound, it indicates that it has insufficient sintering degree and the texture is relatively small. If a slight "beep" sound is emitted, its texture is relative to the previous piece. It is harder.)
2. The flatness of the tile, the side is straight, easy to lay out, and the effect is good. (Visual inspection method, put the floor tile on the flat surface, see if the four sides are completely consistent with the flat surface, and see if the four corners of the tile are right angles. Then, place the tiles in the same variety and the same type of tiles to observe the degree of color difference).
3. The density of the tile. When selecting the floor tile, it is often seen that the material manufacturer puts it on the ground and slams it hard. This only shows that the bottom of his floor tile is flat and does not indicate that his tile quality is good. In addition, on the ground, the poor tiles are completely chalked by the density relationship, and they are printed everywhere.
4. In addition to the color you like, you should also carefully choose: first take out any four tiles from the box, compare them on a flat floor, whether the four bricks are flat and consistent, and whether the tiles are diagonally embedded. .
Then tap the surface of the tile with the palm of your hand and listen to the sound: the sound of a good tile is relatively low; the sound of a bad tile is bright and has a resounding sound. In addition, the biggest difference between domestic and imported bricks is mainly in the specification consistency of tile products.
5. Look at the packaging. First of all, look at the name of the factory, the site and the trademark, so as not to buy the "three no" products. Second, look at the product quality level and the water absorption rate. In general, the lower the water absorption rate, the higher the strength and the better the frost resistance.
If the user purchases ceramic tiles mainly for paving or for outdoor walls, it is necessary to purchase products with lower water absorption, such as porcelain tiles or enamel tiles. If the user purchases bricks mainly for indoor walls, such as kitchen and bathroom walls, products with higher water absorption, such as ceramic tiles, may be used. However, it should be pointed out that such products have relatively high requirements for crack resistance, thermal shock resistance, pollution resistance and chemical resistance.
6. Look at the surface quality. First of all, look at the color of the suit is beautiful and pleasing, in line with your own aesthetic taste. Secondly, about 1 meter away from the sample, under certain lighting conditions, observe whether the sample has surface defects such as glaze, crack, smoke, greasy, glaze, spots, bumps, etc., about 3 meters from the sample, observe the surface of the product. The difference in color is to give a rough grasp of the gloss of the product.
