One、What is matte brick
1、Characteristics of matte tiles
Matte tiles are tiles that have not undergone polishing, resulting in a non-glossy surface and a more textured appearance.
2、Advantages of matte bricks
① Durable and wear-resistant
Matte-finish tiles are relatively durable and wear-resistant, manufactured with imported wear-resistant glazes, resulting in a noticeably better performance.
② Cozy and comfortable
Selecting glossy ceramic tiles for the living room floor can create a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
③ Low light reflection coefficient
Since glossy tiles reflect light, their reflectance is relatively low.
④ Natural, comfortable, and harmonious.
Matte-finish bricks are a type of imitation antique bricks, and their color variations also appear more natural and harmonious, making them comfortable to match.
3、 Disadvantages of matte bricks
① The surface will not reflect light.
The matte tiles will not create any glare, and if the room has poor lighting, installing matte tiles will make the interior space appear darker.
② Abrasion resistance
Due to the lack of polishing on the surface, the abrasion resistance of matte bricks is relatively low, especially for more affordable matte bricks. Even a light scratch can easily cause damage.
③ Poor anti-corrosion performance
Matte bricks are prone to staining, making their anti-staining performance subpar.
Two. What is Soft Light Brick?
1、Characteristics of soft-light bricks
Soft-light bricks are tiles with a surface finish that falls between strong and weak light. They combine the vibrant and bright appearance of glossy tiles with the understated and subtle look of matte tiles.
2、Advantages of soft-light bricks
① Visual comfort
Smooth finish tiles create a comfortable atmosphere. Furthermore, the smooth finish tile technology applied to the tile surface softens the tile texture, resulting in a refined and glossy appearance, and avoids the glare issues often associated with glossy tiles.
② Durable and abrasion-resistant
The gloss brick has a higher Mohs hardness than marble, making it more durable and resistant to abrasion, resulting in a longer service life.
③ Clear texture
The layered texture of the soft-light bricks is more three-dimensional and rich, allowing one to see a natural stone texture on the surface, which can meet the requirements of a high-quality living environment.
④ Resistant to fading
The texture of the smooth bricks is realistic, the colors are natural and understated, and they are also less prone to fading.
3、 Disadvantages of smooth tiles
① The price is relatively high.
Soft light bricks are relatively expensive because they are a new and popular type of tile. Due to their high demand, their prices are correspondingly high. If you were to use soft light bricks throughout your entire home, the overall cost would be significant.
② Difficult to match
Due to the distinct lines and clear patterns of the soft-light bricks, they can be difficult to match with other materials later on, and the workmanship requirements are also quite demanding.
Three, which is better: matte bricks or soft-light bricks?
The editor believes that both matte bricks and soft-light bricks have their own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing, it is important to consider the overall decoration style and actual conditions of your home, as choosing what suits you best is the ideal approach.
