When it comes to the problem of scratches on ceramic tiles, everyone has the same idea. Anyway, it is either the problem of the tile itself or it is caused by human beings. Your thoughts are also the same! But is this really the case? The answer is of course no, so what are the reasons that cause scratches on ceramic tiles? Let’s take a look together!
When scratches occur, we must first figure out why they occur, and then find out the cause and solve it! ! !
1. Why scratches appear on the surface of ceramic tiles
In fact, scratches on good ceramic tiles are mainly caused by improper daily use, or rough construction and laying of ceramic tiles in the early stage, or lack of maintenance in the later period.
2. What causes scratches on the surface of ceramic tiles
1. Tile surface wear resistance
No matter how good the wear resistance is and how hard the surface is, it still has scientific measurement parameters and basis. In the industry system, the wear resistance of ceramic tiles is generally measured on Mohs scale (expressed by 1-10). Expressed from weak to strong), the higher the Mohs degree, the better the surface wear resistance and hardness.
2. Tiny grit on the surface of ceramic tiles
The Mohs coefficient of indoor floor tiles is generally between 5 and 6. Grit is often the culprit of scratches on tiles. The main component of grit is silica. The Mohs degree of silica (SiO2) can reach level 7. , when there are tiny grits on the surface of the tiles, coupled with frequent activities on the surface of the tiles in daily life, tiny scratches on the tiles will appear.
3. Human factors
This is also one of the factors. Sometimes you accidentally touch the tiles with sharp objects, so scratches will appear on the surface of the tiles.
3. How to repair scratches on the surface of ceramic tiles
1. Clean the surface areas with small scratches on the tiles and make sure there are no stains attached to the surface of the tiles
2. Use a moist and clean rag to wipe the tiles back and forth, thoroughly clean the small scratches, and then wipe away the excess water with a dry rag
3. Use wax to wax and fill small scratches.During the waxing process, pay attention to wiping evenly, and ensure that the wax layer can well cover the scratches on the tiles. After the waxing is completed, wait for a few minutes
4. Use polishing wax to wipe the surface of the tiles back and forth again to polish. The polishing wax is super clean and bright, and its function is to act as a sealing wax. The sealing wax can avoid the appearance of secondary scratches
So, you see, from the above detailed analysis, sometimes when scratches appear on the surface of ceramic tiles, you cannot blame the ceramic tiles themselves! The above is the content of the article about Tile scratches that the editor has shared with you. I hope it will be helpful to you!
