手工水泥花砖特色
Characteristics of hand-made cement tiles
手工水泥花砖，工序上，与瓷砖不一样的是，不用陶土、不施釉料、无需烧窑；采用湿造的方法，制作完成后将水泥花砖放在室外晾干，再进行包装。因此，手工水泥花砖环保，耐高温，不易开裂，不易褪色，色泽可谓经久不衰。外形上，与瓷砖相比，手工水泥花砖常规规格为200*200*16mm，也有100*100*16和300*300*16，更大的规格较少。厚度比一般瓷砖要厚，因为水泥花砖共3层结构，分别为表面色料层、中间致密层和底部承压结构层，色料层比瓷砖的釉面层更厚，因此花砖的颜色才能随着时间变得越来越厚重。但是水泥花砖的吸水率一般在0.5%左右，因此，铺完以后需要上一层防水，使其更耐污。因为手工水泥花砖有一定的厚度，所以一般用作地砖，但也有人将其用作墙饰，对于如何使用水泥花砖，也是见仁见智。
In the process of hand-made cement tiles, unlike ceramic tiles, there is no need to use clay, glaze or kiln; the method of wet manufacturing is adopted, after the completion of manufacturing, the cement tiles are placed outside to dry and then packaged. Therefore, the hand-made cement tiles are environmentally friendly, resistant to high temperature, not easy to crack, not easy to fade, and the color can be described as enduring. In terms of appearance, compared with ceramic tiles, the conventional specification of hand-made cement tiles is 200 * 200 * 16mm, and there are also 100 * 100 * 16 and 300 * 300 * 16, the larger specification is less. The thickness is thicker than that of ordinary ceramic tiles, because there are three layers of cement tiles, namely, the surface color layer, the middle dense layer and the bottom pressure bearing structure layer. The color layer is thicker than the glaze layer of ceramic tiles, so the color of tiles can become more and more thick with time. However, the water absorption of cement tiles is generally about 0.5%. Therefore, a layer of waterproof is needed after paving to make them more resistant to pollution. Because the hand-made cement tiles have a certain thickness, they are generally used as floor tiles, but some people also use them as wall decorations, and they have different opinions on how to use them.
