Check the tile surface and water absorption.<\/p>\n<p>High-quality tiles feature a crystal-clear glaze with high gloss under light and no impurities. In contrast, lower-quality tiles have a dull glaze. Test water absorption by dripping water on the back; a smaller diffusion area and longer drying time indicate lower water absorption and better quality.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/v2-ee563f72467c25126f222c49217a1bde_1440w-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>2. Listen to the tile sound.<\/p>\n<p>Hold the tile with one hand and tap the surface with the other; a clear, metallic sound indicates high density and quality. Poor-quality tiles produce a dull sound due to lower density.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/v2-d28be23aff4c2a7f0aa8143c38c0831e_1440w-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>3. Weigh the tile.<\/p>\n<p>High-quality tiles have greater density and feel heavier. Compare similar products by hand; heavier tiles generally indicate better quality.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/v2-fdeaf4ed105f26852c18bbe17b6cdc3f_1440w-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>4. Measure the tile dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>Tiles with precise edges ensure easier installation and save materials. Use a tape measure to check for variations in size; higher accuracy signifies superior quality.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/v2-861f6c393ed83b2322ea27cf0c05fd3d_1440w-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>5. Feel the tile flatness.<\/p>\n<p>Arrange four identical tiles with matching patterns on a flat surface and run your hand over the seams. No noticeable unevenness indicates good flatness, which is crucial for a smooth finish and safety, as uneven tiles can cause tripping hazards.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/v2-2c1e9779cc856d497d7872ca04fc93ad_1440w-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ultimate Guide to Choosing High-Quality Tiles: Surface Gloss, Water Absorption, Sound Test, Weight, Dimensions, and Flatness Evaluation for Durability<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2780,2778,2779,2777,2775,2602,2626,2776],"class_list":["post-5020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-durability-assessment","tag-flatness-evaluation","tag-glaze-surface-inspection","tag-size-accuracy","tag-sound-test-for-density","tag-tile-quality","tag-water-absorption-test","tag-weight-comparison"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5020\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.anjuparts.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
