Mistakes when buying ceramic tiles

One of the most common and reliable building materials is ceramic tiles. It was wildly popular during the Soviet Union, but there was a terrible shortage. Now the Russian building materials market is overflowing with it. A wide variety of sizes, colors and quality. Finishing the house with ceramic tiles is a serious decision, as it should stand for quite a long time. Therefore, it is very important not to make a mistake with the choice of material. It will not be easy to replace an already installed tile.
All ceramic tiles are divided into two large subgroups – for outdoor work and for indoor. For facing an external wall, loggia or balcony, manufacturers produce special ceramics that are characterized by low moisture absorption. Everyone knows from school that frozen water expands. In order to avoid breaking the tiles in cold weather, if water got into it, moisture-resistant building materials are made. We are talking primarily about porcelain stoneware and clinker, which is as durable as natural stone and has the appearance of an ordinary brick.
The second subgroup of ceramic tiles has its own gradations, which depend on the application of the material. Indoors, of course, frost-resistant types of ceramics will not be needed, but glossy tiles designed for the floor should have high wear resistance. She will experience daily physical exertion, as there is furniture and walking on it. It is best to choose a tile on the floor in one color, as it is strongly erased due to daily walking on it. Many people like ceramics of large sizes, but it is necessary to take into account the fact that the greater the width or length of the product, the less durable it is. In this case, the manufacturer adds thickness to it.
We should also mention the ceramic tiles on the bathroom floor. It is very difficult to exclude the ingress of water on the floor in this room, so in no case should you take glossy ceramics. The risk of injury is very high. Special shards with a rough surface are made for the bath.
Ceramic tiles for walls are much lighter than other types, so that they are well held in an upright position and do not collapse under their own weight. It should not have special wear resistance, but it should withstand the effects of various chemicals. Vinegar, steam, baking soda can get on the tile in the kitchen, and soap, shampoo, cleaning products and other kits from everyday life can get in the bathroom. Over time, they can lead to discoloration of ceramics and spoil its appearance, especially when it comes to the work surface. There are ceramic facing products that do not react with chemistry at all.
Avoid marriage when buying ceramic tiles. During the production process, the technology of creating a drawing may be disrupted, for example, the glaze flowed. Such a finishing material is not suitable for laying. In addition, there should be no cracks and chips on the ceramics. The edges of the tiles should be smooth and not show gaps when joining with each other.
