Hello everyone, I am Brother Tile
Racial incidents in a certain country have become more and more popular recently
Let the vast number of Chinese people who eat melon and noodles feel more excited
In fact, there are many things in life
A quarrel over the word "kind"
Afternoon tea has a dispute over milk tea and sugar water
There is a dispute between cats and dogs in attracting pets
Even the tiles in your home are inevitable
Let’s go over it together today
The “racial issue” of ceramic tiles
There are many ceramic tile production areas in China, including Sichuan (Jiajiang), Shandong (Zibo), Fujian (Jinjiang), Jiangxi (Gao'an, Jingdezhen) and other places. But now when talking about representatives of ceramic tile quality, people's first reaction is : Guangdong Brick. There are even building materials wholesale markets in many production areas that sell Guangdong bricks with special signs.

Origin (nationality) is actually linked to quality (quality). Is this phenomenon somewhat similar to racism in a certain country? However, the reputation of Guangdong Brick is indeed well-deserved.
Guangdong brick is born in the prosperous Pearl River Delta region, occupying a huge market and high -quality equipment and labor forces at home and abroad. Many tile techniques and categories such as polycrystalline micro powder, glaze tiles, and micro -spar are born in Guangdong.
There is also a saying in the industry that Guangdong bricks are stronger than other bricks. Although it cannot be generalized, it is similar. Because the press tonnage of Guangdong ceramic tile production lines is generally higher than that of other production areas.

So, Guangdong bricks are definitely better than other bricks?
But it’s not. Although Guangdong bricks are said to be good, the gap between them and ceramic tiles from other producing areas is not very big.
For example, the ceramic tiles in Jiajiang, Sichuan and Zibo, Shandong have advantages in energy and price; Jinjiang, Fujian has advantages in full-body tiles and exterior wall tiles; the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions focus on high-end ceramic tiles, and the technical content and branding standards of ceramic tiles are quite good. high.
In addition, relatively large manufacturers such as Xinzhongyuan, Oceano, Dongpeng, etc. will invest in and build production bases in other production areas, and their technology and processes will also be popularized. Manufacturers in various places will OEM for each other and It is not new, and cross-server (province) OEM operations are the norm in the industry. The Guangdong bricks you buy are most likely not Made in Guangdong.

So when you buy ceramic tiles, you don’t necessarily have to pursue the origin. You can just choose according to your own needs and preferences.
The main difference between red bricks and white bricks is the difference in raw materials. The raw materials of white bricks are white feldspar, kaolin, etc., while the raw materials of red bricks are mainly shale with higher metal oxide content.
If you have no idea about shale, you can think back to the red bricks used to build houses. Yes, that is a kind of shale brick.

The adobe of red bricks is of this color, which directly gives people a dirty and low-end feeling, but the facts tell us that the quality of a "brick" cannot be defined by skin color.

From an environmental protection point of view, red bricks have high production efficiency, are energy-saving, and can reduce resource waste. The country has gradually advocated manufacturers to produce red bricks. Some ceramic tiles exported to Europe are also red bricks. There is even a saying that "red bricks are the way out."
From a quality point of view, the whiteness of ceramic tiles has little impact on the quality of ceramic tiles. It can only be said that the ceramic tiles are white (when the amount of zirconium silicate added is controlled), indicating that the raw materials and iron removal and other process levels of the ceramic tiles are relatively good.

However, because there are more white bricks in Guangdong bricks and the quality of Guangdong bricks is good, it is said that the quality of white bricks is better. This is why the industry likes to define white bricks as high-end in recent years.
This kind of quality gap is difficult to experience in actual use. Red adobe bricks are not pleasant to use, and white adobe bricks are probably not as pleasant to use. However, for many consumers who care about their appearance, the appearance is real. is very important.
△So, reality is based on appearance and does not make sense
From another perspective, quality problems may also occur with white bricks. The quality of ceramic tiles is determined by many factors such as raw materials, pressing, green processing, glaze, and firing.
When we choose ceramic tiles, we should not be blurred by "white" and ignore the verification of the quality of the ceramic tiles themselves.
All kinds of rumors we heard during decoration
Probably from ceramic tile merchants with ulterior motives
Only fair and win-win competition
In order to achieve dynamic and healthy development
Whether it is the ceramic tile industry or the world, I hope you can
Less Pride and Prejudice
More respect and fairness
