Slab tiles: refer to tiles with a size greater than 800×800, such as 900, 1000, 1200. Big board refers to "ceramic board", which refers to ceramic tile products with a thickness of not more than 6mm and a surface area of not less than 1.62m2 according to GB/T23266-2009. At present, there is no unified standard for the ceramic industry, and the definition of size is different in each country. In the United States, household bricks are generally small, and those over 450×450mm can be considered as large specifications; In many European countries, more than 750mm is a large specification; In Italy, the most popular large size is 1200× 1200mm.
Large tile background wall: refers to the background wall made of large area tiles. Generally speaking, the specifications of tiles used for large background walls are 1200×2400, 750× 1500, 900× 1800, etc. At present, many domestic manufacturers can produce them, and some of them are imported from Europe.
Its advantages are less cracks in bricks, easy care, seamless splicing effect, beautiful and concise decoration, grade sense, good ductility and wide material range; Compared with stone, it has the advantages of economy and rich texture changes. The disadvantage is inconvenient transportation and installation. For example, some large-sized tiles can't get into the elevator and need to be carried manually from the stairs.
The installation of large tiles generally requires 2-3 people, which has high technical requirements and low fault tolerance rate. For large-area tiles, the allowable error is small, and the possibility of later adjustment is low, because no matter whether it is background wall or floor paving, a brick is several square meters, and a room can't use a few. If one piece goes wrong, every piece will be affected, and finally the overall decoration effect will be affected.
Common paving methods of large ceramic tile background wall: there are several ways, such as ceramic tile back glue paving, ceramic tile glue paving and dry hanging, which are generally fixed with ceramic tile glue or anchorage.
The other is slate, both natural and artificial. Generally, natural marble plates are expensive, with limited patterns, and artificial marble is widely used. The price of artificial marble is relatively high, mainly because the thickness of marble is relatively thick, which is basically 12- 18 or even more than 20 mm, occupying a relatively large indoor space. But the effect of marble is also good and the texture is better.
There is also an integrated wallboard, which is also a decoration that imitates the effect of marble stone. Made of PVC and stone plastic, it is light in weight, easy to install and transport, and installed by carpenters. But its seams are obvious. In addition, its effect is as realistic as looking at it, but the actual texture is still plastic, which is more affordable.
