. What are the advantages and disadvantages of thin-panel tiles? On the Chinese market, there are many types of tiles available. In addition to the commonly used conventional tiles, there is a new product called thin-panel tiles. These tiles not only have low water absorption, are lightweight and energy-efficient, but also feature heat resistance and wear resistance. As a result, they are widely used in exterior building cladding and interior home decoration. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of thin-panel tiles? Advantages of thin-panel tiles: 1. Lightweight and energy-efficient: Weighing only 8 kg, with a thickness of 4.8 mm and dimensions of 600×1200 mm, these tiles can save over 60% of raw materials and reduce overall consumption by more than 55%. Moreover, their weight is only one-third that of traditional tiles, effectively lowering logistics costs. 2. Low water absorption: With a water absorption rate of just 0.06%, these tiles also boast features such as no color variation, no warping, simple installation, easy maintenance, and environmental friendliness, making them highly favored and loved by users. 3. Easy renovation: During old-house renovations, there’s no need to remove the existing materials, reducing noise pollution, saving time, lowering construction costs, minimizing industrial pollution, and shortening the construction period. 4. Heat-resistant: These tiles not only have high hardness, heat resistance, moisture resistance, long service life, and fireproof properties, but also feature a thin profile with minimal material loss. Therefore, they are widely used in underfloor heating systems and are an ideal material for such applications. 5. Wear-resistant: These tiles are not only highly wear-resistant but also maintain their shape and color without fading, making them widely used for exterior building cladding. Disadvantages of thin-panel tiles: 1. They have relatively high requirements for surface smoothness; the positive or negative deviation of the surface must not exceed 5 mm. 2. They demand a high level of technical expertise—operators must be meticulous and highly responsible. 3. Their price is higher than that of ordinary living room tiles.Companies
