Four future trends in ceramic tile industry

At present, neo-mixivism, new environmentalism, new imitation stone, and new cubism have become the four major trends in the ceramic tile industry. Industry veterans believe that these four major trends will become the mainstream trend of the future tile market.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, consumers are increasingly demanding ceramic tiles. Tiles have long been not just materials for floor decoration, but have begun to move onto the walls for use in kitchens, bathrooms, walls of building halls, and even decorative walls of buildings and decorative materials for entrances.

According to the tile water absorption rate, it can be divided into five categories: porcelain tile, enamel tile, fine tantalum tile, enamel tile and ceramic tile. According to the purpose, it can be divided into inner wall tile, outer wall tile and floor tile; Material division, ceramic tiles can be divided into glazed tiles, whole body tiles, polished tiles, vitrified tiles, mosaics and so on.

With the gradual improvement of the production process, the color, pattern, and texture of the ceramic tile surface have also undergone rich changes, which can give the home a different style of design and satisfy the individual needs of consumers. In color, the tiles are mainly white, beige, light yellow, etc. This light color is conducive to expanding the space of vision and achieve a clean and neat decorative effect. In addition, bright blue, apple green, yellow and other bright color tiles can play a role in regulating mood at any time; black, red, imitation stone color and other dark tiles can bring people the feeling of luxury.

Glazed tile is a common type of brick in decoration. Due to its rich color pattern and strong anti-fouling ability, it is widely used in wall and floor decoration. According to different luster, glazed tiles are divided into glossy glazed tiles and matt glazed tiles. According to different raw materials, glazed tiles are divided into ceramic glazed tiles and porcelain glazed tiles. Ceramic glazed tiles are made of clay and have high water absorption and relatively low strength. The main feature is that the back is red. Porcelain glazed tiles are made of china clay and have low water absorption and relatively high strength. The main feature is that the back is grayish white.

In recent years, mosaic is a “backbone force” active in home decoration. It is generally composed of dozens of small bricks, and has the advantages of being resistant to acid and alkali, impervious to water, unbreakable, strong combination, and varied colors. Although the volume of the mosaic is the smallest of all kinds of tiles, it has a variety of functions. Designers can stitch together different patterns through a combination of mosaics. For example, in a plane, not only can abstract patterns, color patterns, depth jump or transition patterns, but also with other decorative materials play an embellishment role.

Compared with glazed tiles and mosaics, high-end ceramic tiles have become the “blanks” in high-end decorative materials. For example, the streamer jade uses high-tech digital cloth system technology, combined with composite technology, with a crystal-like luster to achieve magnificent noble effect. In addition, marble tiles can achieve the effect of natural marble in texture, color, texture, feel and visual effects, and the decorative effect is better than natural stone.

Today, ceramics are no exception, as all industries around the world are advocating low-carbon environmental protection. More and more consumers are concerned about whether their purchased tile products meet environmental standards and whether the radiation level exceeds the standard. It is understood that an anion impression tile introduced by a certain brand has added an ionic layer of unipolar mineral tourmaline ultrafine powder and an anion layer composed of complex rare earth elements to the glaze layer and the blank layer to make the impression volume per square meter. The anion release corresponds to the release of 15 square meters of forest.
