Whether to lay tiles or floors at home can be regarded as the biggest doubt for ordinary people to decorate the house.

Eh? Why don't local tyrants entangle this?

Because the local tyrants are struggling with pure solid wood flooring and marble.



Every family has their own budget and their own living habits. The neighbors who wash the bucket at home every day will surely tell you: The wooden floor is too delicate!

Kill your heart that wants to roll on the floor.

But the baby is obviously too lazy to drag the ground, one iRobot and one Dyson can handle everything.


The wooden floor is not as difficult to manage as imagined, and the floor tiles have also developed several mature crafts.

Today we will not discuss the difference between several types of floor tiles, just compare different floor tiles and floors to see which one is best for your home.



Floor board


▏Laminate Flooring▕


Anti-slip ★★★★

Take care of ★★★★★

Beautiful ★★★

Environmental protection ★★★

Recommendation Index ★★★


Advantages: cheap and easy to install. Laminate flooring, like other flooring, has the difference between low price and high price. However, the special feature of laminate flooring is that the low price can be very cheap and the installation is very fast.


Disadvantages: The environmental protection of too cheap laminate flooring makes people feel uneasy. Because it is artificially pressed with sawdust, and the super wear-resistant layer on the surface is very hard, although there is a wood grain unevenness when you touch it with your hand, the actual foot feeling on it is as solid as a ceramic tile.


Take care of: There is no problem with wearing shoes and walking on it, and it is also suitable for installation in the kitchen and the independent bathroom without a shower. Don't listen to Qigu and Eight Aunts making a fuss.


▏Pure solid wood flooring▕


Anti-slip ★★★★★

Take care of ★★★★

Beautiful ★★★★★

Environmental protection ★★★★★

Recommendation Index ★★★★★


Advantages: It is warm and soft, and the wood color is naturally not repeated. It is very suitable for families with children. The non-slip and soft characteristics are also suitable for the elderly.

The foot feels first-class and the comfort is very high. Wood floors can also play a role in regulating humidity.


Disadvantages: three-point floor and seven-point installation. The flexibility of wood tests the craftsmanship of workers. Many problems with wooden floors are caused by installation. Poor construction will waste good materials.

The price is more expensive, especially the solid wood flooring suitable for geothermal (the first choice is the wood with higher density and low moisture content such as teak).

The only thing used for floor heating is that it needs to gradually increase and decrease the temperature every year when the floor heating is turned on and off, so as to avoid too much temperature difference and cause the floor to crack.


Take care of: Furniture can't be dragged on the floor. Missing heavy objects will smash the floor into a small hole.

There is a mop for wooden floors. After mopping the floor, pour the wax oil on the mop and mop it again. Waxing once a month, or not waxing at all will not affect the use.

When using floor heating, occasionally use a wet mop to humidify.

It’s not troublesome to take care of, don’t listen to neighbors talking nonsense.



▏Multi -layer, three-layer composite floor▕


Anti-slip ★★★★★

Take care of ★★★★

Beautiful ★★★★★

Environmental protection ★★★★

Recommendation Index ★★★★★


Advantages: Combining the advantages of pure solid wood flooring, reducing the price, the design of the buckle also reduces the requirements for construction. The staggered wood is pasted in layers, which is more stable and more suitable for floor heating.


Disadvantages: Low-priced products, glue will affect the environmental protection, especially when the floor heating is turned on.


Care: the same as pure solid wood flooring.




Floor tiles


▏ Ceramic tiles (glazed tiles) ▕


Including our common antique tiles and wood-grain tiles, which are essentially glazed tiles.


Anti-slip ★★★★

Take care of ★★★★★

Beautiful ★★★★★

Environmental protection ★★★★★

Recommendation Index ★★★★


Advantages: There are very colorful patterns to choose from, and you can choose between bright and matte surfaces, and the slip resistance is also good.

When using floor heating, the thermal conductivity is higher than that of wooden floors, which makes it easier to heat the entire house. The texture of wood grain tiles can now be comparable to laminate flooring.


Disadvantages: The pavement is more troublesome, and it needs to be completely dismantled to replace it after installation and cannot be reused.

The feet feel too cold and hard, children cannot sit directly on the floor tiles and play, and the elderly are more dangerous to the floor after falling.


Take care of: Floor tiles with bright surfaces are easy to show dirty and need to be cleaned in time.



▏Polished tiles (vitrified tiles) ▕


The smooth surface of the floor tiles is made by sanding instead of glazing.


Anti-slip ★★★

Take care of ★★★★

Beautiful ★★★★

Environmental protection ★★★★★

Recommendation Index ★★★


Advantages: low price, very bright surface, low water absorption, no need to soak in water in advance during construction, it can be directly laid.

It has high thermal conductivity when using floor heating, which has the same advantages as ceramic tiles.


Disadvantages: limited by the process, the pattern is not too rich. Too much pursuit of bright effect, low slip resistance.

The feet feel very cold and hard, so walking barefoot is not recommended.

Because the whole body is polished, the antifouling ability is not as strong as that of glazed tiles. It is not recommended to install in the kitchen and bathroom.


Care : The shiny surface is easy to be dirty and needs to be kept clean.



▏Throwing glazed tiles▕


The glaze on the surface has been polished.


Anti-slip ★★★

Take care of ★★★★

Beautiful ★★★★

Environmental protection ★★★★★

Recommendation Index ★★★★


Advantages: It can simulate the texture of natural stone well, and while ensuring the brightness, the patterns are much richer than polished tiles.

The surface stain resistance is better than polished tiles.


Disadvantages: low slip resistance, high hardness, unfriendly to the elderly. The foot feels very cold, and it is a feeling of stepping on the glass.


Take care of: Too bright, easy to show dirty, need to keep clean.



▏ ceramic stone ▕


A layer of glass-ceramics is covered on the brick body.


Non-slip

Take care of ★★★

Beautiful ★★★★

Environmental protection ★★★★★

Recommendation Index ★★


Advantages: On the basis of polished glazed tiles, the brightness is higher, which is almost equivalent to glass, and any pattern can be made, and the surface transparency is better.


Disadvantages: high price, fragile surface of microcrystalline stone, easy to be scratched and broken. Too high brightness will cause light pollution. It has gradually become rare.


Take care: You must change your shoes when you enter the house to avoid bringing the sand from the soles to the floor tiles, which will scratch when you step on it. If necessary, cover the carpet for protection.


▏Cement brick ( encaustic cement tile) ▕


Use tinted cement-infused tiles (not tiles).


Anti-slip ★★★★★

Take care of ★★★★

Beautiful ★★★★★

Environmental protection ★★★★★

Recommendation Index ★★★★★


Advantages: Rich colors, stronger texture than patterns printed on tiles, and very retro.


Disadvantages: all handmade, higher prices. High water absorption, easy to bleed, not as easy to clean as tiles.

The surface pattern layer of poor cement bricks is thin, and the pattern will be worn out after several years of use, exposing the bottom layer.


Maintenance: The first three years after installation, a special protective wax is required every year (it is the same as the cement self-leveling we introduced at that time). After three years, the protective wax penetrates into the cement to form a protective layer and can be used like ordinary tiles. Up.




Selection tips


Pay attention to comfort and choose wooden floors, and focus on beauty and choose floor tiles.

According to the living habits of most people, they will change their shoes when they go home. Therefore, the floor and floor tiles at home do not need to pay too much attention to "abrasion resistance". The cotton mops and socks used in ordinary homes will not cause any substantial impact on the ground. hurt. If so, then you need to change slippers, not the floor.


Like rich colors or patterns, the choice of glazed tiles and encaustic cement tiles is more abundant than other floor tiles and wood floors, especially imported tiles, which will look 10,000 times better than domestic tiles at the same price.

High-gloss, mirrored floor tiles need a large indoor area to cooperate with each other to have a luxurious and atmospheric effect. Ordinary households do not need to pursue high-gloss mirrors. If the pattern color is not selected, it will look vulgar. I really like it, the white series looks better than the beige yellow series.




Floor heating only affects the choice of wooden floor, and does not affect the choice of wooden floor or floor tiles. At present, the installation of wooden floor does not require keeling, and it will not harm the floor heating. The floor heating is turned on for a long time, and the difference in thermal conductivity of the floor tiles will not actually affect the indoor temperature.

When the budget is low, ordinary glazed floor tiles are more environmentally friendly than laminate flooring at the same price.


The comfort level of walking and activities on wooden floors cannot be matched by any floor tiles.

The foot feel of laminate flooring is completely inferior to wood flooring, so compared to wood grain tiles, its advantage lies in "easy installation" rather than "comfort".

Accidentally knocking over water, dogs peeing on the ground, rainwater floating into the room, as long as it is not cleaned for a few days, the wooden floor cannot be damaged.




In summary, wood floors and floor tiles have their own strange selling points.

The more expensive the wooden floor, the banner is "zero pollution, more environmentally friendly", and the ceramic tile is "brighter than bright".

From a rational point of view, three-layer solid wood floors are more adaptable to geothermal heat than solid wood, while polished glazed tiles have their advantages compared to microcrystalline stones and are not as fragile as they are. Floor tiles do not need to be as bright as a mirror.

Therefore, the expensive one is not necessarily good, and the application that suits your own is the truth.
