What are the characteristics of pool-specific tiles?
The swimming pool must be paved with specially made pool tiles, rather than ordinary ceramic tiles with high water absorption. However, facing the wide variety of pool tiles on the market, which one meets the national standard specifications for pool tiles?
For most people, the knowledge of specialized tile types is limited to those commonly seen in daily life, specifically those laid in swimming pools."Rectangular tiles." These "rectangular tiles" are what industry insiders refer to as the national and international standard pool tiles.
Standard pool tiles are divided into four colors: white, sky blue, cobalt blue, and black pool tiles, which are common styles of pool tiles in daily life. According to industry insiders, the early concepts and standards for swimming pools in China came from abroad. The specifications on the market are mainly240x115mm and 244x119mm, the latter being a foreign size. However, our height, body type, and athletic profiles differ from those of foreigners, so the construction methods for swimming pools in China are also different from those abroad.
Some foresighted manufacturers in China have sensed the great development potential of pool tiles domestically. They have drawn on advanced foreign designs and concepts for pool tiles, combined with China's current national conditions and economic conditions, to produce pool tiles and mosaic series with Chinese characteristics. Therefore, for the domestic market in China,the 240x115mm size pool tiles have gradually become the main size for domestic manufacturers.
The quality of pool tiles is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Look at the glaze. Good pool tiles have a smooth and delicate surface; however, poor quality pool tiles may have bubbling and delamination, severely affecting aesthetics.
2. Look at the water absorption rate; the lower the water absorption rate, the better; conversely, the higher, the worse.
3. Look at the strength. Products with high strength are not easily deformed.
4. Look at the flatness.
5. Listen to the sound: the sound should be clear and loud when struck.
6. Water test: Soak a small sample in water for more than 24 hours to see if it fades or discolors.
How to identify the authenticity of pool tiles?
1. Identify from appearance.
First, look at the glossiness and clarity of the surface, and check for bubbles.(Some counterfeit pool tiles add pigments to increase brightness in order to reduce costs). Secondly, check if the back has irregularities and cracks.
2. Identify from color.
We can visually determine whether the product's color meets the standard requirements.
3. Judge by feel.
Generally, pool tiles feel very delicate to the touch, without a grainy texture. This is a question many consumers ask when purchasing.
