Ceramic tile criteria
To choose tiles, most people are looking for beauty, especially women, who always think of matching and coordinating and harmonizing ceramic tiles with other house arrangements. This is where the role of men becomes stronger and they should pay attention to points other than beauty in order to choose a good tile, which include: the physical resistance of the tile, the degree of absorption of water and moisture in the tile, the degree of slipperyness of the tile, the dimensions of the tile, and the degree of abrasion. , the degree of tile resistance against cold and heat. These are the criteria with which you can make an acceptable choice.
Physical resistance of the tile
There are many differences between the tiles used for the floor and the wall. The floor tile should be much stronger than the wall tile because we walk on it and also a lot of equipment is placed on them, so it should be chosen in such a way that it has high resistance. For this reason, when buying, pay attention to buy floor tiles or ceramics grade 1 or maximum 2. But for wall tiles that do not need high resistance, grades 3 and 4 can also be prepared.
The amount of water absorption by ceramic tile
The amount of water absorption is one of the most important features of a good tile that you must pay special attention to. Tiles are divided into several categories in terms of water absorption.
Tiles that absorb water above 7% of their weight.
Tiles that absorb water up to 3% to 7% of their weight.
Tiles that have 0.5% to 3% water absorption.
Tiles that absorb less than 0.5%.
Well, with the above category, you will surely easily understand which tile to choose for bathroom and toilet and which one for reception. Option 4 is the best choice for bathroom and toilet, most of these tiles are glass or transparent tiles, which have recently become very popular in terms of quality and beauty. It should be mentioned that this water absorption is called W.A. and this information is available on the ceramic carton that we buy.
The amount of tile resistance in the cold and heat
If we buy ceramic for the floor outside the house or in fact the area, we should have a choice that is resistant to snow, rain, sun, cold and heat. Because if the floor ceramic is not compatible with the environmental factors, it will soon crack and break, and both the expenses incurred will be wasted and it will give it an unpleasant appearance.
Tips on buying ceramic tiles
Kitchen, toilet, bathroom are among the places where tile material is used. These spaces are where all members of the family are present, therefore one should be very careful in choosing the materials used in them.
Selection of the sex tile:
The location of the tile plays an important role in choosing its material. For example, for the kitchen and areas that are close to gas; It is recommended to use fireproof tiles. On the other hand, your tiles must have sufficient resistance to weight.
Determine the location of installation:
Tile, ceramic and porcelain are three types of covering materials that you can choose from. If you know the conditions of your desired installation location; You can make a better choice. For example, ceramic and porcelain are more resistant, so they are more suitable for covering floors, while tiles are more beautiful, so they are suitable for walls.

New Designs:
3D tiles are tiles that have recently entered the Iranian market. These tiles are beautiful and fresh, but that doesn't mean you can use them in every home. The use of 3D tiles or tiles with busy designs is for walls! These tiles should not be used as floor material.
Friction: Places of the house where elderly people or children walk should be such that they do not cause slipping. The tiles have different friction coefficients. For such places, it is better to use tiles that have a higher friction coefficient.
Water absorption:
In general, environmental conditions have a significant impact on the purchase of mosaics, tiles or ceramics. No one has used the same tile for the walls behind the gas; It is not used in the bathroom! Failure to comply with this item can severely reduce the useful life of the product.
Tile infrastructure
The surface under the tiles has more contact with the tile; We will see more installation durability. Under the tiles is also very effective in this case.
