Looking at Baidu Encyclopedia, it is said that wood grain bricks are divided into glazed bricks and split bricks. Which is better, glazed bricks or split bricks?

Glazed tiles

can be divided into two types:

1) Ceramic glazed tiles, which are fired from clay, have high water absorption and high strength. Relatively low. Its main feature is the red color on the back.

2) Porcelain glazed tiles, which are fired from porcelain clay, have low water absorption and relatively high strength. Its main feature is that the color of the back is off-white.

It should be noted that the comparisons of water absorption and strength mentioned above are all relative. There are currently some ceramic glazed tiles with better water absorption and strength than porcelain glazed tiles.

Split bricks

Also known as split bricks, they are a type of ceramic wall and floor tiles. Generally, various clays or pottery raw materials such as feldspar are crushed by dry method and added with water or ball milled and filtered by wet method to make water-containing wet mud. Thin ribs connect two pieces of bricks into a hollow body, which is then cut, dried and fired. The bricks are then split into two pieces by hand or machine along the joints of the ribs, hence the name split bricks.

Split bricks can be divided into flat bricks and roughened bricks according to the smoothness of the surface. The former has a fine and smooth surface, while the latter is made by adding granules to the blank and installing fine steel wires at the mold outlet to clean the surface of the brick. After cutting, the surface of the product is covered with coarse particles or pits, thus giving the surface of the product a rough decorative effect.

Split bricks can be divided into wall tiles and floor tiles according to their uses. The former is used for wall decoration and the latter is used for floor laying.

The surface of glazed tiles is more concave and convex, while the surface of split tiles is smoother.

Please give me points. Aren’t these the advantages and disadvantages?
