The soft bricks that have spread throughout the internet frequently overturn! How to choose soft light bricks before decoration?

---

Nowadays, modern minimalist style, creamy style, quiet style and log style decoration styles are very popular. The consumers are increasingly accepting low gloss ceramic tiles represented by matte and soft tiles. In terms of density, soft brick is between glossy brick and matte brick. They are regarded by many as a “flat replacement” material for micro cement, which is highly favored by designers and consumers. However, on the network platforms such as TIKTOK and XIAOHONGSHU, many netizen roast that the soft brick they bought overturned so that frankly said that the online renderings were all “cheating”. Where exactly is the problem?

The first one is that soft bricks are difficult to clean.
The difficulty of cleaning and managing soft tiles is a headache for many homeowners. A homeowner stated that due to the long renovation period, some tiles without protective film were directly stained with deep stains, which cannot be cleaned with a small brush. Moreover, during daily use, it is easy to get dirty and difficult to clean. What’s more, the sweeping robot cannot clean them completely.
Soft bricks are particularly easy to show footprints so that they need to be cleaned frequently. They are also jokingly referred to by many netizen as “lazy people don’t buy bricks”. In addition, its anti fouling issue requires special attention. As not all soft light bricks have good anti fouling properties. Some low-quality soft bricks has a little amount of oil stains are enough to disfigure them. If the soy sauce is accidentally knocked over and not cleaned in a timely manner, it is easy to penetrate into the bricks and the stains are difficult to remove.

The second one is that the color of the brick surface varies in depth.

The color difference of the brick surface is also a common problem in many soft light bricks. Many homeowners only realize after laying soft light bricks that the color depth at the brick joints is particularly noticeable under natural light. The color at the brick joints in the entire space will become darker which forming a strong contrast with lighter areas so that result in varying shades. Even using various cleaning agents and dirt removers to wipe back and forth between the brick joints has no effect.
Some netizen said that this situation is likely due to poor brick quality. Because it has strong water absorption, the cement slurry has been absorbed by it so that result in the color of the tiles changing. Some netizen also expressed that the different shades of colors may be due to the different colors of the bricks themselves. It may not be apparent from just one brick, but when several bricks are laid together, serious color differences and color differences are found.

The third reason is that different when bought home compared to when viewed in the store.
The color and texture differences between different soft tiles are actually difficult to distinguish. There are many light color schemes available, with shades ranging from warm to cold, ranging from 50 ° to 80 °. For people with poor color perception, this is no difference at all. In addition, the lighting in the store is stronger, so it is easy to buy soft bricks that are different from the colors seen in the store.

Fourth, there are many eyelets.
One of the reasons why many consumers are hesitant to follow the trend is that there are too many eyelets in soft bricks. A consumer encountered this situation when he noticed a small green hole on the surface of the soft light brick he just received. Upon closer inspection, he found that there was more than one small pinhole, which made her unhappy.
Some industry insiders have stated that it is normal to have a small amount of eyelets and “small bumps” , because the soft tiles have not been polished; Some people also believe that it is abnormal for soft bricks to have particle protrusions, holes and bubbles, which belong to process control defects. Not every factory’s soft bricks have such defects.
