Let's talk about tiles. What do you know about special-shaped bricks?

When it comes to tiles, most people only think of squares. Nowadays, some hexagonal, rhombic, wavy and other special-shaped tiles have gradually entered the home market.

It is understood that special-shaped tiles are imported from European countries such as Italy and Spain. European ceramic tile products pay great attention to fashion personality, and there are different fashion trends almost every year, and various products with unique designs are introduced, and even styles that cooperate with famous designers. The same product usually has different specifications, and there are non-standard products such as colored tiles and special-shaped tiles with different patterns, which can meet the diversified needs of home.

Special-shaped tiles appeared in China very early. As foreign antique bricks enter the domestic market, some ceramic enterprises try to introduce antique bricks with irregular edges, which are favored by some designers and distributors, but the consumption habits of industry and domestic consumers still like rectangular and square bricks. Special-shaped bricks only change the specifications of tiles. Nowadays, polished tiles, glazed tiles, antique tiles and other tile products on the market can all be made into different shapes by water cutting or molding. In terms of technology and technical conditions, special-shaped bricks have not shown anything special.

In fact, special-shaped bricks in a broad sense also include some ceramic tile products with special specifications. In the tile market of the whole ceramic industry, the shapes of tiles are mainly square and long, and the sizes of tile products are also different. Every shape and size of ceramic tile products has its significance and value, and each has its own advantages in home decoration, which complement each other.

At present, most special-shaped bricks are produced by molds, with more detailed technical requirements and more mature raw materials and processes for production abroad. However, some domestic ceramic enterprises only produce several kinds of special-shaped bricks as supporting products, so they often use water knife cutting to produce such products. In the aspect of paving, unlike conventional rectangular tiles, special-shaped tiles are not easy to line up, which is more time-consuming, which relatively increases the cost of paving and puts forward higher requirements for the skills of paving workers.

Special-shaped ceramic tile is a kind of ceramic tile product with strong sense of design. Its personalization is not only reflected in the innovation of tile color, but also includes the uniqueness of color and the diversification of style. Special-shaped bricks are liked by some designers because of their individuality and high added value. But special-shaped brick is only a supporting product for local decoration. How to cooperate with designers more effectively is also a problem that needs attention in the future.
