Do you want to tile the balcony?
Fei Mo Jun said at the beginning that, regardless of whether the balcony is sealed or not, it is of course necessary to stick tiles. Most family balconies are used for washing and drying (even if you have multiple balconies at home, you will leave one for drying and washing), so there will be water and it will be eroded by rain. You don't want to see the balcony moldy!

Should balcony tiles be stuck on it?
Fei's advice is: it is best to stick to it! Generally, it can be pasted to1.2-1.5m.. If the budget is enough, stick it on the top!
Why? Imagine if your balcony will not only put the washing machine clothes rail sink, but also make a cabinet on one side, or let the carpenter make a top cabinet or a floor cabinet. Sticking tiles on it can provide a good moisture-proof effect for cabinets, and it is not easy to mildew after a long time; Moreover, the overall face value is also higher and the effect is better; It is also more convenient to clean!

How to choose balcony tiles?
Now that you have decided to stick tiles, how to choose the tiles on the balcony, which are both beautiful and durable?
wood block
Wood grain brick is a very popular design in recent years, which has the warmth of wood texture, durable and wear-resistant like ceramic tile, and does not appear cold and monotonous. It is also waterproof, moth-proof and corrosion-resistant, and it is convenient to take care of. Just mop the floor with a wet mop.
It is not realistic to spread wooden floors on the balcony. If you want the effect of wooden floor, you can use wood grain bricks instead.
archaize brick
Antique brick is a common choice, which is non-slip and not easy to fade. It can be divided into monochrome brick and facing brick. If the balcony area is relatively large, you can lay monochrome antique bricks and decorate them with tiles.
It should be noted that antique bricks should be paved with joints, and the balcony as a drying area will be affected by water stains. When choosing a joint filler, you must choose a type that is easy to clean, antibacterial and low in shrinkage, otherwise it may fall off before long.
Bricks with patterns or holes
Floral tiles with distinctive patterns are deeply loved by young people. The living room is generally wooden floor, and the color is not very jumping. At this time, the balcony is decorated with floral tiles, and the whole space is enriched.
It should be noted that it is slightly more difficult to lay tiles, so it is necessary to pay attention to the pattern texture and splicing angle, otherwise the desired effect will not be spelled out, which requires a higher skill of the construction master.
preserving timber
Not afraid of water, sun, tide, mildew and insects, anticorrosive wood is very practical, and it is also suitable for laying on the balcony, where flowers and plants are mixed together, just like a garden. But there are many cracks, which are easy to fall off and difficult to clean. It is more suitable for open balconies and courtyards, and it is not recommended to use anticorrosive wood on your own balcony.

Can I choose not to tile?
Whether the balcony is tiled or not depends on the purpose. If the balcony is put into the living room/bedroom, it can be done according to the indoor planning, whether it is floor or tile. Or plan the balcony into a leisure area, such as a study. If there is no water or too much dust, you can also choose not to stick tiles.
But for most families, tiling the balcony is the most practical choice!
