Ceramic wall tiles for bedroom give people a cold feeling. There is a potential safety hazard when they are used in the bedroom because the tiles will suddenly fall off. The wall tiles in damp areas are prone to condensation of water vapor, and the whole bedroom is wet, which is too troublesome to clean.

1. Take up space

The tile itself has a certain thickness, and the thickness of the adhesive layer occupies at least 3cm of space. If the wall is not flat, it needs to be paved, which will take up more space.

2. Cold and humid

The tile material is relatively cold and hard. If the whole bedroom wall and floor are all paving tiles, it will look very cold. The tiles are prone to water droplets in a climate with heavy humidity. It is very troublesome to clean the bedroom wall like this.

To maintain the appropriate humidity in the space as much as possible, dehumidifiers and desiccants can be used to reduce the air humidity. If a fresh air system is installed at home, there is usually no need to worry about indoor humidity.

Ceramic tiles are divided into two categories: glossy surface and matte surface. The surface of glossy tiles has a certain reflective ability.

Although it can increase the brightness of the space, the reflections on the walls of the bedroom will make people uncomfortable, and some even look like mirrors, it’s vert strange.

Generally speaking, if there are no problems such as waterproofing and oil fume in the bedroom, it is really not necessary to pave the bedroom wall tile.

Tiles are prone to empty drums and other dangerous situations such as falling off. If the tiles on the bedside wall of the bedroom fall off and hit a sleeping person, the consequences are very serious. Therefore, for safety, it is not recommended to pave wall tiles in the bedroom.

The cost of wall tile paving is definitely much higher than that of latex paint, tile cost & paving labor cost & accessories & jointing/beautiful seam.

The maintenance and renovation costs of the tiles in the later stage are also higher. If you choose inferior tiles, it will not only have a higher safety risk, but also be more prone to discoloration.

In addition to the kitchen, bathroom and balcony, other living spaces in the home are not recommended to pave wall tile. There are many types of wall decoration materials, and ceramic tiles are not necessarily the best choice. If you really like ceramic tiles for wall decoration and your budget is sufficient, then you must choose non-reflective tiles such as matte tiles or soft light tiles.

The quality of the tiles should be good, and the craftsmanship of the workers should be good enough. Tile adhesive and other products must be used on the floor tiles on the wall. When checking and accepting, it is necessary to carefully check whether each tile is empty, and deal with any problems in time.

2. Determine house specifications

Determine the size of the bedroom before determining the specifications. Don’t blindly pursue large size floor tiles or large bathroom wall tiles. Generally speaking, small size tiles are recommended to be used below 20 square meters, and large size tiles are recommended to be used above 20 square meters.

3. Select the quality of the tiles

The quality of tiles is the key point in the decoration. If the quality is not up to the standard, it will not only bring trouble to the decoration, but also affect the owner’s life. Therefore, you must not be careless when selecting the quality of tiles.

Four or five tiles can be drawn from a box to see that there is no color difference, deformation, lack of edges and corners and other defects. Then listen to the sound and tap the tiles with hard objects. The clearer the sound, the higher the degree of porcelain and the better the quality.

If the sound is dull and stagnant, it is the tile with poor quality. Sometimes, you can also test the density of tiles by using the method of water drops. First, put the water drops on the back of the tiles, and see how fast the water will soak after it is dispersed.

Generally speaking, the slower the water absorption is, the greater the density of the tiles is. On the contrary, the faster the water absorption is, the denser it is, and its internal quality is better than the former. These methods can select good tiles with qualified quality.
