A Ceramic tiles are variously sized slabs of ceramic material, used to cover floor and walls. Tiles come in different sizes, ranging from mosaics whose surface measures less than 90 cm to tiles with sides as long as 1 meter. The thickness of tiles ranges from about 5 mm for some small wall-covering tiles, to 20-25 mm for extruded and large sized tiles. There are many ceramic products in common and everyday use for the homeowner for instance, kitchenware (plates, cups, etc.

A 1. For cleaning tips, use water or diluted soap solution, followed by wiping with soft moist cloth or sponge. 2. Do not use alkalis, acids, solvents, oil or cleaning powders for cleaning these tiles.

A. Because of their durability and hardness, porcelain tiles have traditionally been used in commercial applications ? think Flinders Street Station and commercial kitchens for example. Nowadays, for similar reasons, more and more people choose porcelain tiles for their homes. Porcelain, or fully vitrified tiles, do not have a glaze over them like traditional tiles.

It depends on the temperature in the room. Ceramic tiles can be cool underfoot if the room is cool. If it becomes a problem, particularly in the winter months, consider area rugs or even an under-floor heating system. Like leather, tiles will acclimate to the room temperature.

Ceramic tiles have been around for over 2000 years. They typically have a white or red clay “biscuit” with some form of glaze on top. Porcelain tile cost more than ordinary ceramic tile because you are getting a superior product. Porcelain tile requires the finest natural ingredients and a rigidly controlled manufacturing process that utilizes the most advanced processes and technology.

Frost damage affects the materials exposed to water in areas where the temperature is liable to fall below zero. Water can penetrate tiles - and therefore a tiled surface - through their pores. If the temperature falls below zero, the water freezes and becomes ice. As every schoolchild knows, ice occupies a greater volume than liquid water, so tensions are created inside the pores. These tensions may become so high that portions of the tiles break off.

It really is a personal choice. Both natural stone and ceramic tiles have their benefits, limitations and appeal. We love real stone for its long life, its warmth, the fact that it is natural and doesn’t contain any chemicals and for its timeless beauty (it can be rejuvenated to increase its luster, unlike a ceramic tile). Generally yes! Though the better quality "stone-look" ceramic tiles are similarly priced.

Porcelain tiles are prepared from a clay mixture that provides a very dense body tile. It is considered to be impervious which means its absorption is less than 0.5% of moisture. However, each porcelain tile is made differently and therefore there will naturally be higher quality porcelains and lower quality porcelains. Porcelain tiles can be found in red or white bodied form. The white bodied from is more prevalent. The quality of red or brown body tiles varies immensely.

The very first and basic difference between Natural Stone and Ceramic Tile is that Natural Stone is a product of Mother Nature where as Ceramic Tile is man-made and hence artificial. And as is the case with most of the man-made material it is not as unique or as durable as most of the Natural Stones. Ceramic Tiles that get defaced due to staining or scratching need to be replaced, while Natural Stone can always be restored.

To be used outdoors, we recommend the tile must be frostproof and unglazed for floor use. Make sure the absorption rate is 0.5% or less

Ceramic is a product made from slip which is about the consistency of mud. It is pored into a mold and left to harden slightly. It is then removed from the mold and fired at a high temperature in a kiln. After the product is fired it is coated with a glaze and kiln fired again. The firing process hardens the glaze to a glass-like finish. After these processes are completed the decals (pictures) are applied to the surface and kiln-fired again.

Glazed tiles are coated with a liquid glass, which is then baked into the surface of the clay. The glaze provides an unlimited array of colors and designs as well as protects the tile from staining. The unglazed tiles are pretty much the same as the glazed tile, except that their surface is not coated. Full-body porcelain tiles do not show wear because their color extends throughout the tile, making them ideal for commercial applications.
