Which is better for laying full-body tiles, polished tiles, and glazed tiles in the living room? What kind of tiles are suitable for laying in the living room?

We all know that ceramic tiles are a common decoration material, and almost all people have ceramic tiles in their homes. There are many types of ceramic tiles on the market, and three of them are full-body tiles, polished tiles, and glazed tiles. Different ceramic tiles are suitable for laying in different places, so which one is suitable for laying in the living room: full-body tiles, polished tiles, or glazed tiles? Let's take a closer look!

Which one is more suitable for living room: full body tile, polished tile or glazed tile?

Full-body tiles, polished tiles, and glazed tiles (also known as fully glazed tiles) are actually a type of ceramic tile, collectively known as full-body tiles, but polished tiles and glazed tiles are products that are further developed on the basis of full-body tiles.

For three different styles of tiles of the same variety, we can use the elimination method to determine which one is suitable for paving the living room.

1: Full body brick

The full-body tile is a tile that has not been glazed, and the color is the same on the top and bottom. Because its surface has not been treated, it has good anti-slip and wear resistance, and the price is cheaper than the other two.

Since the overall color of the whole body tile is single and the glossiness is not strong, but the anti-slip performance is good, it is suitable for laying in the kitchen and balcony.

2: Polished tiles

After excluding solid tiles, let’s analyze polished tiles.

Polished tiles are formed by polishing the surface of full-body tiles, so they have improved the basic performance of full-body tiles. The color is bright, the pattern is uniform, and there is no large color difference.

Because it is polished, there are faint pores on the surface, which are invisible to the naked eye. Pores are easy to hide dirt and dirt, and most importantly, it is easy to absorb color. If tea accidentally falls on it, the color will penetrate into the interior of the tile and cannot be wiped off.

Although it is also used by many people in the living room, it will be a headache once it is stained.

3: Glazed tiles (full glazed)

Compared with the shortcomings of polished tiles, glazed tiles are another style of tiles formed to make up for the shortcomings of polished tiles.

It is glazed on the basis of the original polished tile, making the tile itself richer in color, brighter in color, and the pattern can also be combined in various ways.

The price is only four or five yuan more expensive than polished tiles, but the quality and performance are much higher than polished tiles. The important thing is that it does not absorb color and is easy to clean.

For the analysis and comparison of the above three types, I personally recommend using glazed tiles in the living room, because glazed tiles are far superior to the other two in performance.

The difference between full body brick, polished brick and glazed brick

1. Full body brick

The whole body brick is made of rock debris through high temperature pressing and other processes. It is as hard as stone and has good wear resistance, but has a low water absorption rate. Because the surface is not glazed, the color and pattern are relatively simple. The antique texture and color make the whole body brick unique and elegant when used in the living room. The surface without any polishing is softer and more comfortable under the light.

Because full-body tiles have not undergone any polishing or repair, there are still bubbles and uneven patterns on the surface caused by high-temperature compression. They are easily contaminated with dust and debris and are extremely difficult to clean. Therefore, it is not recommended for ordinary households to use full-body tiles.

2. Polished tiles

Polishing is a type of full-body tile. It uses full-body tiles as the main material, and polishes and grinds the uneven bubbles on the outside to make the surface smooth and flat. Then, it is coated with an anti-fouling layer, and the polished tile is formed through technical processing, which solves the defect of being not resistant to dirt. However, the natural texture of the polished tile is no longer clear and the color is single after grinding.

3. Glazed tiles

In order to solve the shortcomings of polished tiles with single texture and color, printing and patterns are added to the surface of polished tiles to make the tiles bright and suitable for a variety of home styles. This kind of tile is glazed tiles. Glazed tiles have a hard texture and anti-slip performance that is no less than that of solid tiles. The surface texture is comparable to marble and has good gloss.

Comparison of the advantages of full-body tiles, polished tiles and glazed tiles

As for the living room floor, how to choose between full-body tiles, polished tiles, and glazed tiles? You need to make a comparison based on the actual needs of the residents, home style, and budget.

1. Wear resistance

The first condition that the living room floor must meet is wear resistance, which means it can withstand the movement of residents and the pushing and pulling of heavy objects to prevent the owner from falling. The wear resistance of the three types of tiles is arranged from large to small, namely, full-body tiles, polished tiles, and glazed tiles. Full-body tiles that have not been modified or polished have concave and convex textures and bubbles on the surface, and their friction is greater, so they can withstand the impact of heavy objects.

2. Antifouling ability

Due to different living habits and the number of people in the home, there is often water, debris and other dirt falling on the ground, which requires the ground material to have good anti-fouling ability to facilitate residents to clean and clean in time. The anti-fouling ability of the three types of tile materials is from strong to weak, namely, glazed tiles, polished tiles, and full-body tiles. The bubbles on the surface of full-body tiles are not polished and are easy to penetrate into the interior of the tiles, while glazed tiles have no bubbles and a thin layer of glaze is applied on the surface, which is not easy to be contaminated by sewage, making cleaning more convenient and effective.

3. Water absorption

Water absorption is a major factor in considering tiles. The greater the hardness and the higher the glossiness, the less water it absorbs. The longer the water remains on the surface of the tile, the easier it is to clean, and the longer the service life of the tile. The water absorption rates of the three types of tile materials are from high to low, namely glazed tile, polished tile, and full-body tile.

As the base material of the floor, ceramic tiles must not only meet basic rigid requirements, but also meet the living needs of residents. When choosing the type of ceramic tiles, choose according to performance, appearance and decoration budget, and choose materials that meet the living needs and satisfy the aesthetic taste of residents.
