On the difference between polished and matte tiles
The tiles of the world, polished and matte, have different appearance and sex.
Polished tiles, their surface is as smooth as a mirror, and the light can be seen from people. When it is made, after careful grinding, the glaze surface is smooth, the light reflection is strong, and it can be brightened and wide in the room, like a large room, reflecting the four walls, and it suddenly has a feeling of openness. However, it is slippery, but it is easy to slip in contact with water. When walking in wet places, it must be carefully guarded, for fear of falling.
Matte tiles have a warm and reserved appearance, soft luster, and no dazzling polisher. Its surface texture is unique, with the simplicity of natural stone, and the touch is also good. Due to light diffuse reflection, it is more visually comfortable, and is suitable for creating a quiet and elegant atmosphere, such as tea rooms, study rooms, etc. And matte tiles have excellent anti-skid properties, that is, in a wet environment, they are also stable as flat ground. When people walk on them, they are at ease and not afraid.

When cleaning, they must be wiped frequently to get clean. And matte tiles, because their surface is not very smooth, stains adhere slightly, and cleaning is slightly easier. Occasionally there is dust, and they are not as eye-catching as polishers.
