How to pick out the most realistic wood grain bricks visible to the naked eye?

I was very interested in my wood grain bricks when I saw super many roommates. I used to be entangled and controlled by various details.

Like floor products, they are all categories that must be finalized in the early stage of decoration. Many of them are trying to catch the ducks on the shelf. When the decoration has not yet entered the state, they are urged by the construction period, recommended by the decoration company, or finally crammed. When I finally worked out the cost, I found that I spent a lot of money. Even I, a player who has been wandering in the decoration industry, really struggled for more than two months before placing an order at my home. .

Later, I concluded, why did I order it so black? Because the price of wood grain bricks on the market is indeed uneven, and I am "low-minded", which makes me want to buy hard clothes at a small price, find products with high cost performance, try to control the decoration funds in the early stage of decoration, and spend more money on later accessories and movable classic furniture. In fact, this general direction is absolutely right!

The picture below shows the real shot of Apple's mobile phone without retouching. My oak floor tiles are put together with the tons of beech chairs and teak board tables at home. You can see the final texture of the contrast, which is in line with my expectations.

Week after week, the National Day holiday finally placed an order for wooden floor tiles in the factory shop in Zibo, the hometown of porcelain! The final effect is very ideal.

Let's talk about some real experiences after using wood grain bricks. Q&A link:

Will wood grain bricks be faked and self-deceiving?

Is it true?/You don't say. This is the core key that many Sumitomo people care about, so I tell you that today's high-quality wood grain brick manufacturers have been producing and developing towards the goal of restoring wood texture as high as 100%. Good products look 90% similar to the naked eye (how to pick out the most realistic wood grain scratches will be described in detail below), but one is wood and the other is brick, 100% reduction. As for the remaining 10% similarity of wood grain bricks, it can be offset by the advantages of tile materials. So I think a good wood grain brick can rival a wooden floor.

Is it cool or not?

I'm not cold. First, I took a picture of my son hiding behind the sofa. This is the state that the air conditioner is fully open in midsummer. Whether it is marble or wood grain, matt tiles are strongly recommended. Matte tiles can visually reduce the cold texture and have good anti-skid ability.

What does it feel like to step on the floor heating?

The thermal conductivity of ceramic tiles is much stronger than that of wood floors. If your home is paved with wooden floors and tiles at the same time, the heat in the tile area is obviously higher than that in the wooden floor, and the biggest advantage of wood grain tiles in northern winter is that they can directly wipe the floor with a wet mop (or even sprinkle water on the floor) to increase the humidity, and the humidification effect is very comfortable.

I am not afraid of having a naughty boy at home.

Here, I want to remind families who have babies or are going to have babies. Compared with wood floor, wood floor tiles need a lot of peace of mind. For example, you don't have to worry about knocking over the paint box or the soup stains that the baby dropped on the dining room floor.

Are good wood grain bricks necessarily expensive?

I have traveled all over the high, middle and low-end markets in Beijing, and I feel more and more "good-hearted". Most of the brands I can see are imported brands from 650 yuan+/square, which are really nice. Even a product of the domestic brand Zhongnuoer that I saw is around 500 yuan. The details of good and bad are really different. I really can't pass this level if the effect is not good! For example, a Noel product, the area of my home is 4w+? ♀? Originally, I wanted to grit my teeth and stamp my feet to place an order, but I calmed down and thought about it. Instead of spending money on building materials that I can't take away, I'd rather leave more money to buy classic furniture.

To sum up, I think the products with big brands and high prices are not bad (for example, the international brand wood grain bricks in Beijing North Fourth Ring Home), but the prices are also scary. There are also products with unknown brands but good quality and excellent cost performance, as long as you can find channels. At present, TB's order decoration products are also relatively perfect, so it is not difficult to order building materials from different places and logistics distribution. The product effect of domestic factories and stores is certainly not as big as that of imported brands, but the budget does save a lot.

Now use, pro-test, good cost performance, no regrets, whether you use TB to place an order or go to the low-priced market to pick goods, you might as well start with the following details, you should be able to pick high-quality products, well, dry goods:

1. Good image is the first.

The clarity and fineness of screen printing directly affect the first visual feeling of wood grain bricks, just like the temperament conveyed by roadside property leaflets and high-quality magazine printing? ♀? .

If the quality of wood grain pixels is too low, there will be large print marks, and color cast will convey a bad visual experience. High-quality wood grain bricks can't see printing marks in the viewing position of about one meter, and no one will look at them with a magnifying glass on the ground, but I think it is more appropriate to take one meter as the selection distance. As long as you compare carefully, you can easily distinguish the good from the bad. ? The picture below shows the famous brand Kyle *? A series of wood grain bricks, the details are printed with graininess, which is not up to standard in my eyes.

2. It has bumps and feels like real wood grain.

Good wood grain brick can restore wood grain up to 100%, not only image restoration, but also concave-convex texture. For example, the oak wood grain brick used in my home gives people a matte, warm and intimate feeling, and the overall effect is more intimate. Different types of wood grain bricks can prevent the concave-convex texture of different wood, such as oak, elm, chicken wing wood and so on. And restore the touch of wood as much as possible, so that the paving effect of wood grain bricks is more quality. ? The picture below shows the real shot of KITO Jinmou Tao brand store. The horizontal wooden floor, which is very popular now, is also found in wood grain tiles. Is the imitation very real? ♀? .

3. Matte texture is more recommended.

As mentioned above, matte tiles can better reduce the cold feeling of tiles, whether it is wood grain tiles or monochrome tiles. If your home is not the kind of design that requires high-brightness tiles, it is strongly recommended to choose matte texture, because the higher the brightness, the stronger the painting style of veteran cadres, such as the picture below.

The picture below shows my old man's cabinet, with oak-textured plates, all of which are matte and concave. You can compare your feelings. It will give off a warm feeling and the effect will reach my expectation.

4. Ask about the repetition rate.

I think this is also very important. After all, it is imitation wood grain brick, and the products printed with plastic film in the assembly line will definitely have bricks with almost the same grain. You can directly ask the brand, how many bricks will be repeated? Finally, eight bricks were selected to repeat, and there will be a repetition when it is close to 2 square meters. When laying, you can let the master mix and match, so the final effect will be natural.

5. Pay attention to water absorption, water absorption.

Why should we pay attention to water absorption? The so-called water absorption rate of ceramic tile refers to the ratio of the weight of ceramic tile itself to the weight after absorbing enough water, which is the necessary absorption and penetration of water by ceramic tile. The lower the water absorption of ceramic tiles, the greater the embryo density, the stronger the relative anti-pollution ability, the higher the hardness, the better the hardness, and there will be no knocking. The water absorption of this tile I finally ordered is 0.5, which can be said to be very solid and of high quality. So how to judge the water absorption rate? It's simple. Turn the brick upside down, drop a few drops of water and penetrate the block, indicating that the water absorption is high and the quality is average.

6. Is it one-time cutting or one-time molding?

This is also a professional entry point. The so-called cutting is to cut a big brick into small bricks, and the so-called one-time molding is to turn each brick independently, and the brick formed at one time has good stability. If it is brick cutting, the quality is not up to standard, and it is easy to deform in the later stage, but this is professional and it is difficult for ordinary people to judge. In addition, it is strongly recommended to have right-angled wood grain bricks because they are closer to the feeling of wooden floors.

7. How to choose the size? The bigger the board, the better the temperament.

Unless your ground echoes other parts of the space, I think you can choose the big board! ! ! This is the same as the popular idea of wooden floor. The bigger a single floor, the more regular the temperament of the whole floor will be. Of course, the bigger the veneer, the more expensive it is. For example, the bricks imported from Italy can even reach 1.6+ meters long, but the price is also insanely high.

My family chose the size of 200mm * 1200mm/ block. I think this size is just right for home improvement. The smaller the block, the worse the overall feeling, and visually it will feel very obscene. Aesthetically speaking, it is best to use the ground with a sense of unity as the base, unless something special is designed on the ground, which must be set off. In fact, most people's demand is that the ground should be paved, just like makeup!

Finally wordy two sentences:

Because of my work, I have been exposed to many household items. As a consumer, I prefer to spend money on furniture items with classic master designs (except brand, technology and materials, especially the design is more unique, and I prefer to pay for expensive furniture items once I move in the future). For products like ceramic tiles, I don't think it is necessary to choose famous brands, and I have a deep understanding of the production process of ceramic tiles, as you can know.

Well, I've said so much. I hope it will help you a little. I wish you enjoy the decoration, a beautiful process in which you keep buying in buy buy, and find what you like as soon as possible.
