Many people in the renovation project pay attention to the floor, but for the living room and some functional areas, the tiles are still invincible. The quality of the tiles is very important. It is not like daily necessities, it can be replaced at will, and once you find the quality problem after you stay, it is very troublesome. But the tiles on the market vary widely, from tens of dollars to a few hundred dollars, how to choose a suitable tile for the living room?
How to choose the right tile
1, determine the tile specifications
First of all, to judge the space used by tiles, is it used in the kitchen, bathroom or living room. After determining the most basic conditions, choose the tiles, especially for the living room, first determine which size to buy.
The larger the room size, the larger the size of the brick can be selected. Generally, the room of 20 square meters or more can be used with 80cm×80cm brick. The use of large tiles can not only reduce the gap on the ground, but also be aesthetically pleasing and economical.
2, calculate the tile area
At present, the tiles on the market can be sold in square meters or square meters. Before buying tiles, the area to be laid should be calculated. Some building materials stores have conversion charts, and the number of tiles required can be found according to the area. Some charts can find the amount of tiles as long as they know the height and width of the tiled wall. Some tile boxes will also list the size of a box of tiles.
After calculating the total number, a certain amount of spares should be added, because it is inevitable that there is a loss when paving. You can also use this formula to roughly calculate the amount of tiles required: (decorative area ÷ each tile area) × (1 + 3%), which is the number of tiles required for construction, of which 3% is the construction loss.
If you want to use some brightly colored tiles or patterned tiles in plain tiles, you can first design the tiled walls on the chart, so it is convenient to estimate the quantity. You can also cut the paper into a tile size and stick it on the wall to calculate the height and width of the tiled tile area. Although it takes some time to do this, you can see the effect of the paving in advance.
How to calculate the number of tiles
The indispensable decorative material in home decoration is the tile. At present, there are many varieties of ceramic tiles sold on the market, the quality and price are comparable, and whether the home decoration is “big bag†or “light workâ€, the decoration workers always have to “master†to select the tiles, so that people are buying tiles. It’s a big headache.
In fact, the most troublesome thing is not to choose the type of ceramic tile, but the amount of ceramic tile. Generally, the "big bag" decoration will have a false report area. The "light work" decoration will make the "master" as much as possible. Choose materials to reduce the difficulty of construction.
Therefore, before purchasing the tile, you must calculate the area that needs to be laid. The buyer can calculate the number of square meters of tiles according to the area of ​​the room, and then convert the number of tiles to be purchased according to the size of the tile. After measuring the actual material, add a certain amount of loss (generally calculated at 10% loss rate).
In addition, when purchasing plain tiles, it is best to add some brightly colored tiles and waist lines to embellish them. You can design the tiled walls first, so the estimated number will be simpler. You can also cut the paper into a tile size and stick it on the wall. This takes time, but you can see the effect of the paving, and the measured amount is more accurate. Moreover, it is best to buy the whole box of tiles of the same color batch number to avoid the difference in color.
