Introduction to matt brick

Matte finish is the opposite of polished surfaces, meaning it's non-reflective and less shiny. This makes it more comfortable for the eyes, especially in bright lighting conditions, and helps reduce light pollution. It’s also easier to maintain compared to highly polished tiles, which can be too bright and even cause discomfort when they reflect directly into people's eyes. However, matte tiles tend to show dirt more easily and require regular cleaning. The glazes used for polished and matte tiles are different—matte tiles are usually fired at higher temperatures, giving them a slightly brighter appearance than traditional matte finishes. While they may get dirty more quickly, the dirt doesn’t penetrate the surface, so it can usually be cleaned with standard household cleaners. Many people prefer matte tiles because they offer a more natural, elegant look that’s visually pleasing under strong lighting. As a result, some believe that matte tiles are not only more comfortable but also more stylish than polished ones.

When it comes to buying matte tiles, one simple way to check their quality is by testing water absorption. If the tile doesn’t absorb water, it means it has a low water absorption rate, which is a good sign of durability. Another method is to compare the weight of tiles of the same size—if they feel heavier, they’re likely of better quality. A high-quality matte tile should have a smooth and fine surface texture. If the surface feels rough or uneven, it might be a sign of poor craftsmanship. You can also touch the tile to get a sense of its quality—good tiles feel solid and well-made, while lower-quality ones may feel lightweight or fragile.
