Experts teach four tips for tile purchase

In today's home decor, tiles remain the most popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. In villas, high-end tiles are commonly used in living rooms, balconies, and other areas, with a significant portion of materials being homemade. This is largely due to the fact that consumers have fewer misconceptions when purchasing tiles. To help buyers make informed choices, we've gathered insights from experienced interior designers and ceramic tile experts. We’ve identified four common mistakes people make when buying tiles, so you can find high-quality, stylish options that suit your needs perfectly. First, when selecting tiles, pay attention to their visual quality. High-quality tiles have a smooth, uniform finish, are less likely to stain, and are easy to clean. To assess this, observe the surface under strong light from the side—there should be no bubbles or pits. Tiles with a high gloss level use premium glazes and advanced glazing techniques, resulting in a consistent, attractive appearance that reflects light well. Additionally, consider the design of the tile pattern. Think about your home’s overall style, the color scheme of your furniture, and what kind of aesthetic you prefer. For example, if you're a modern, fashion-conscious homeowner, you might go for porcelain tiles that mimic natural stone or have a jade-like texture. If you prefer a classic, elegant look, pastel glazed tiles may be more suitable. Second, evaluate tiles by touch and sound. Run your hand over the surface—it should feel smooth and fine. The back of the tile should have a slight grainy texture. For tiles of the same size, heavier ones usually indicate higher density and better quality. When you tap the tile, a crisp, clear sound suggests high-quality porcelain with good wear resistance, low water absorption, and durability. A dull, echoing sound, on the other hand, may indicate lower quality, cracks, or poor performance. Third, choose tiles based on brand reputation and customer feedback. Some small manufacturers cut costs to offer lower prices, but their products may not meet environmental standards and could pose health risks. Over time, these tiles may develop stains, cracks, or discoloration. It's best to go with established brands. Research online, ask friends, and filter out the brands that best fit your needs. While some well-known brands may not be the best fit for every home, others specialize in high-end products ideal for luxury interiors. For instance, stone-effect vitrified tiles are often used in villas and high-end residential areas, as well as in upscale hotels and clubs. These brands not only maintain a good reputation but also focus on innovation, design, and quality. Fourth, take advantage of seasonal sales and promotions. During peak seasons, many brands offer discounts, allowing you to save money without compromising on quality. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Reputable brands typically provide detailed guidelines. Check that the color numbers and sizes on the packaging match your order, and ensure there are no defects like color variation or misalignment. Only use tiles of the same color number for a consistent look, and avoid mixing different color numbers unless necessary.
