Terracotta wall facade tiles is a kind of clay brick, which is mainly made of clay, purple sand clay and other ingredients fired at high temperature. Clay bricks have a delicate feel, firm color, corrosion resistance and strong practicability. The decoration of terracotta bricks not only has natural beauty, but also has a strong retro atmosphere.
The characteristics of clay brick itself
1) Anti-freeze and thaw characteristics: when the brick body is saturated with water, it can ensure that it will not be frozen and cracked and maintain the integrity of the brick body.
2) Anti-light pollution performance The surface of the clay brick is not smooth, so it can refract most of the direct light source, which can effectively reduce light pollution; secondly, because the surface of the clay brick is rich in a large number of uniform pores, it can refract all or part of the sound wave. , to achieve the effect of sound absorption and noise reduction.
3) Air permeability and water permeability Clay tiles have good air permeability and water permeability because of the small pores on the surface.
The difference between terracotta tiles and ceramic tiles
1) Water absorption: The most obvious difference between terracotta wall facade tiles and ceramic tiles is the water absorption rate. The water absorption rate of ceramic tiles is lower than 0.5%, while the water absorption rate of clay tiles is much higher than 10%. The main reason is that the density of clay bricks is high, and there are large pores on the surface, which are easy to seep water.
(2) Structure: The structure of terracotta wall facade tiles is porous structure with high density, so consumers will hear a low sound when tapping; while the ceramic tile has a compact structure, low density and good surface gloss, consumers will hear it when tapping crisp sound.
(4) Style: The color of terracotta wall facade tiles is relatively uniform and the patterns are few. When used for decoration, it can show a natural sense of simplicity. There will be a feeling of post-modern style, and many shops have chosen clay tiles for decoration.
