Tiles do not have to be waxed

In the impression of people, ceramic tiles have always been a decorative material that is not easy to be damaged or maintenanced as long as it is properly installed. But recently, the news that a tile should be waxed normally is spread on major websites. Do tiles need to be waxed like a floor? Experts say that polished tiles can be waxed if conditions permit, but if you don't, there is no problem.

Related to antifouling technology

Does the tile need to be waxed? Huang Xinhong, a senior engineer of the China Ceramic Industry Association, said that in fact, according to the production process before the tile, the polished tile was waxed before leaving the factory. Huang Xinhong said that before the tiles are polished, there are very small closed pores after firing, but there are small pores after polishing. Before leaving the factory, the manufacturer will first wax once, “fill in the small air holes, so it is not easy to infiltrate.” For this type of ceramic tile, consumers can wax to achieve the “brighter and cleaner tile” effect. .

He also introduced that now, the ceramic tile industry has a new technology called “super clean” for polishing bricks. Using nano or micro materials, it forms a protective layer on the surface of polished tiles, making the tiles “brighter and more resistant to dirt”. "For this type of tile, "consumers can wax better, it doesn't matter if they don't wax."

Huang Xinhong also said that the current level of processing of various manufacturers of this technology is different. The Jinghua Times reporter also consulted the tile manufacturers. It is understood that some manufacturers currently use nano antifouling agents, and some manufacturers are still waxing. However, industry insiders said that the quality of this antifouling agent and protective wax is uneven, and the effects of various brands are different. As the use time increases, the surface may be worn out, it is contaminated with stains. Some brand products may not need to be waxed in five or six years, and some brand products may need to be waxed once a year.

Net pass tiles need to be waxed

Recently, a message about how to teach consumers how to wax tiles is circulating online. According to the source, polished tiles and vitrified tiles need to be waxed. The reason is that these two types of bricks are easy to dirty, and waxing can prevent oil from penetrating and make the tiles more bright. The use of similar products such as floor wax. Antique tiles or glazed tiles cannot be waxed because the stains can penetrate into the interior of the tile by means of organic solvents in the wax, forming dirt that is difficult to remove.

This news has puzzled many consumers: "Isn't that tiles don't need maintenance? How do you need to wax like a floor?" "When buying tiles, I have never heard the salesman say that the tiles will be waxed later." The reporter search found that many forums also have netizens asking whether tiles need to be waxed.

Clean up daily

If you choose to wax, what products should you choose? The reporter learned that at present, there is no such product effect in major tile shops, but all major building materials supermarkets have this type of products. Because it is not a necessity, the industry's requirements for wax are not high. “Solid waxes and liquid waxes are fine.” However, before waxing, “use a neutral detergent to clean the tiles first”. When is waxing as good? "If you feel that the surface is not bright, you can hit the wax." Wang Long said.

Both experts and industry insiders believe that as long as they purchase a qualified brand product, “even if it is not waxed”, ceramic tiles are still a decorative material that does not need much care. The only thing consumers need to pay attention to is that in daily life, once the tiles, especially the polished tiles, are contaminated with dirt, such as soy sauce, oil stains, wine stains, etc., they need to be disposed of in time. Over time, it is easy to have "soiling".

Glazed bricks do not require maintenance

Whether waxing of polished tiles depends on anti-fouling technology, as for glazed tiles, there is no need to wax at all. Huang Xinhong explained that the glazed tiles are not polished, the pores will not be exposed, so they will not penetrate into the dirt and do not need to be waxed. Gan Mingfang, customer service manager of Nobel Beijing Branch, also introduced that glazed tiles such as antique bricks can be used to isolate stains through glaze.

As for the online said, “When the antique brick or glazed tile is waxed, the stain can penetrate into the interior of the tile by means of the organic solvent in the wax to form a dirt that is difficult to remove.” Gan Mingfang said that there is a certain reason. It will be polished before waxing the glazed tiles. If the glazed tiles are worn for a long time, the glazed surface is worn out, or the glazed surface is too thin, the stain will seep in the daily use process, but it will cause bad effects. Wang Long, the customer service manager of Marco Polo Beijing, also introduced that the surface of the microcrystalline stone is a glass tile product. It is not recommended to wax. “Grinding will damage the glass surface, but it will stain.”
