As we all know, ceramic tile is a kind of floor paving material that is resistant to wear and dirt and can be used for a long time. According to the statement circulating on the market, the service life of ceramic tiles can reach decades, but in actual use, the service life of different ceramic tiles will be very different. Some ceramic tiles will have various problems such as breakage, abrasion, pungent odor, etc. in just a few years of use, while some ceramic tiles can maintain their new state for decades, and their service life can even reach more than 50 years.

The service life of ceramic tiles is determined by the following three factors:

1.The quality of ceramic tiles

The quality of the ceramic tile itself is one of the important factors that determine the service life of the ceramic tile. Specifically, it is the density, water absorption, abrasion resistance, and dirt resistance of the ceramic tile. Generally speaking, ceramic tiles with high density, low water absorption, abrasion resistance and stain resistance have a relatively long service life. Tiles with low density and high water absorption are easy to absorb sewage and emit peculiar smell. The surface of tiles with poor wear resistance is easily damaged and affects the appearance. Tiles with weak anti-fouling ability are easily contaminated and produce permanent stains... These problems will affect the service life and user experience.

2.The tile laying process

The tile laying process will also affect the service life of the tile. Even the best tiles, if they are not laid properly, their service life will be greatly shortened. For example, before the tile is laid, it is necessary to soak the water so that the tile can absorb enough water. If this step is not done, the tile will absorb the moisture in the cement mortar after the tile is laid, resulting in hollowing between the tile and the ground. , Then there will be water accumulation, fracture, shedding and other phenomena.

3.The daily maintenance of ceramic tiles

The service life of ceramic tiles is also related to daily maintenance. Although the tiles seem to be "rough and thick" and not so delicate, they also require careful maintenance. Try to avoid using sharps to rub the surface of the ceramic tile during use to avoid permanent scratches. If stains drip onto the surface of the tiles, clean them up in time and dry them. Tiles also need to be waxed regularly to keep them as clean as new for a long time.

The above three factors are the three most important factors that determine the service life of the ceramic tiles. The laying process and daily maintenance of the ceramic tiles are controllable by ourselves, and the quality of the ceramic tiles can only be carefully selected by our eyes.
