Are resin tiles durable? How long does it usually last?
Resin tile has the characteristics of heat insulation, flame retardant and various colors, but this product, like ordinary plastic products, has many shortcomings. First of all, resin tile's biggest shortcoming is that it expands with heat and contracts with cold. The highest temperature that synthetic resin tiles can withstand cannot exceed 70 degrees, and obvious deformation will occur in the high temperature environment of 70 degrees to 80 degrees.
In addition, synthetic resin tiles shrink at low temperatures. When the temperature drops to -30℃, the molecular gap structure of PVC material will shrink due to the obvious change of temperature difference, and then the whole tile will sag, sag or expand. Without proper maintenance and regular cleaning, the service life will be greatly shortened.
Selection method of resin ceramic tile
There are many resin tiles on the market, and many people don't know how to tell the good from the bad. They often buy poor quality resin tiles, which will lead to replacement in a few years. Therefore, we should pay attention to the screening quality when purchasing.
Usually good resin tiles are light in texture and not too heavy. You can use two resin tiles to knock each other to see if the sound is crisp and the quality is good. Secondly, the resin tile itself has a certain luster. If the surface shape and outline are not very clear, it is very likely to be a counterfeit product. Many chemical synthetic agents were added in the production. This kind of ceramic tile not only has no good luster, but also has poor durability.
Finally, resin tile is made of resin material, which has the characteristics of incombustibility and flame retardancy. You can use a lighter to light a corner of the resin tile, and then remove the fire source after burning for a while. If the fire on the resin tile goes out automatically, the quality will be better.
