What tiles to choose for enclosed balconies and open balconies
Enclosed balcony:
Enclosed balconies can be dust-proof and rain-proof. The requirements for the anti-corrosion and weather resistance of ceramic tiles are not that high, but the functional requirements for the space are relatively high. The enclosed balcony usually does not have a particularly large area. Most families will install a washing machine and sink on the balcony. Therefore, when choosing ceramic tiles, the size of the ceramic tiles for the enclosed balcony should not be too large. The function also requires low water absorption and anti-skid.
Open-air balcony:
Most families will set up tables, chairs and umbrellas on their open-air balconies for leisure and entertainment.

In terms of decorative performance, you need to choose ceramic tiles that can keep the color fresh and bright for a long time.
