As an innovative category of ceramic tiles in the past, microcrystalline stone tiles were once all the rage. What are microcrystalline stone tiles?
Microcrystalline tiles are referred to as microcrystalline tiles, and are also known as microcrystalline glass ceramic composite panels in the industry. As the name suggests, they are mainly made of microcrystalline tiles.
Compared with other ceramic tile categories, microcrystalline stone ceramic tiles, as a high-tech product in the field of architectural ceramics, have high gloss, crystal clear, graceful and luxurious space decoration effect, which can be very effective in improving the brightness of the home. It is widely used in high-end occasions such as living rooms, hotels, clubs, etc. It has been highly praised and favored by a large number of manufacturers and consumers.
In summary, microcrystalline stone tiles have four major advantages.
First, it is widely used. When manufacturing microcrystalline stone tiles, microcrystalline stone tiles of different colors can be produced according to different requirements. Therefore, the color and texture of microcrystalline stone tiles are very rich and beautiful. In the current microcrystalline stone tile market, the most popular and widely chosen are its four color tiles: crystal white, beige, and light gray and white linen. Microcrystalline stone tiles can not only be used in the decoration of home walls and floors, but can also be widely used in indoor and outdoor decoration in hotels, stations, airports, etc.
Second, the texture is delicate and soft. Microcrystalline stone tiles are building materials fired at high temperatures. They are not only environmentally friendly and healthy, but also have a smooth and beautiful surface. The smoothness far exceeds that of stone. Due to its special microcrystalline structure, microcrystalline tiles can allow light to enter from any angle. After passing through the crystal grains inside the microcrystalline tiles, the light can be reflected evenly to all angles of the tiles. It is a microcrystalline tile. The overall effect of stone tiles appears soft and crystal clear.
Third, it has good weather resistance. Microcrystalline stone tiles are made of inorganic spar material and have very stable chemical properties. It also has a glass matrix structure, which has very strong acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance. It will not fade or discolor after being exposed to wind and sun for a long time, and its strength will not be reduced.
Fourth, it is highly resistant to pollution. Microcrystalline stone tiles are a kind of decoration building materials with low water absorption, so it is difficult for the stain solution to penetrate into the tiles after paving, and the dirt on the tile surface is easy to remove.
However, the shortcomings of microcrystalline stone tiles are also obvious.
First of all, the intensity is relatively low. The Mohs hardness of microcrystalline tiles is generally 5-6, while the Mohs hardness of polished tiles is between 6-7.
Secondly, the scratches are noticeable. The surface finish of microcrystalline stone tiles is very high. If it producesScratches are easily visible.
Third, it is easy to look dirty. The surface of microcrystalline stone tiles has a certain number of pinholes, which are easily exposed when dirt is encountered.
Only by understanding the disadvantages and advantages of microcrystalline stone tiles can you be confident when purchasing microcrystalline stone tiles, instead of just listening to the bragging of merchants, so that you can choose the tiles that suit you.
