"On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Glossy and Matte Porcelain Bricks"

Today there are glossy porcelain bricks (Porcelanato Polido) and matte porcelain bricks (Acetinado), both of which are used for architectural decoration. Each has its own length and its own shortcoming. The world often discusses which is better or worse.

Glossy porcelain bricks have a smooth surface like a mirror and a high gloss. Laid indoors, it can reflect the object clearly, making the space open and bright. If placed in a well-lit place, its light reflection can create a shining effect and add a gorgeous feeling to the residence. And it is very easy to clean, stains fall on the surface, with a damp cloth to wipe it clean as before, easy to take care of, so it is mostly used in kitchens, bathrooms and other easily stained places.

However, glossy porcelain bricks also have their disadvantages. Its surface is too smooth, and when it comes into contact with water, the anti-skid performance is not good. Walking in humid places, it is easy to slip and fall if you are not careful, which is the reason for its limited application in places with high anti-skid requirements.

Looking back at matt porcelain bricks, its surface has no strong light reflection, soft texture and comfortable visual effect, which can create a warm and elegant atmosphere. Because its surface is not as smooth as a mirror, it has excellent anti-skid performance. Even if there are water stains on the ground, it can provide better friction. Pedestrians walking on it are not easy to slip. It is the best choice for families with high anti-skid needs such as the elderly and children, or passages and bathrooms in public places.

However, matte porcelain bricks also have inconveniences. Its surface is relatively rough, stains are easy to penetrate, and cleaning is more difficult. Daily attention is required, and specific cleaning products are often required when cleaning, which is time-consuming and laborious.

To sum up, smooth porcelain bricks and matte porcelain bricks have their own advantages. If the space is bright and gorgeous and clean and convenient, smooth porcelain bricks are better; if the anti-skid performance and warmth are emphasized, matte porcelain bricks are better. When choosing the two, it should be carefully weighed according to the specific use scenario and personal needs.
