II. How to select antique bricks
When selecting imitation antique bricks, it is important to assess whether their technical indicators are too stringent. Generally, this involves evaluating their water absorption rate, abrasion resistance, and hardness. The details are as follows:
1、 Absorption rate
- The water absorption rate can affect the cleaning process of imitation bricks. Products with high water absorption rates have low density, with sparse pores, and should not be used in areas with frequent activity, as they can accumulate water and become difficult to clean. Products with low water absorption rates have high density and excellent moisture and stain resistance. To test the water absorption rate, you can drip water on the back of the imitation brick and observe the rate at which the water droplets are absorbed.
2、Abrasion Resistance
The abrasion resistance of tiles is classified into five grades, ranging from low to high. Grade five belongs to ultra-high abrasion resistance and is generally not used for home decoration. For home renovation, tiles in grades one to four are suitable. You can test the abrasion resistance of these tiles by grinding them with a grinding wheel against imitation antique tiles. The resulting RPM will correspond to the tile's abrasion resistance.
3、Hardness
Hardness directly affects the service life of imitation bricks. It can be assessed by tapping and listening for the sound; a clear, crisp sound indicates good quality, and the bricks should not deform or break. Even if a hard object scratches the glazed surface, no marks should remain.
4、Color difference
The color variations of antique bricks can be visually assessed. Examine a batch of bricks to determine if their color, gloss, and texture are generally consistent, and whether they can be assembled together effectively. Bricks with minimal color variations, consistent dimensions, and good overall appearance are of higher quality; conversely, bricks with significant variations in color, dimensions, and poor assembly are of lower quality.
