Tiles have been around since 1000 BCE and have come a long way since then. With every century and new technique, their evolution has been remarkable. Yet, there’s still room for more advancements in ceramics. One major breakthrough is the emergence of porcelain tiles, which are now seen as a top choice in ceramic tiles.
Porcelain tiles are a type of ceramic tile but are stronger, harder, denser, less porous, and more resistant to stains and water. Made from fine clay and treated at high temperatures, they have unique features like low moisture retention and high durability, making them perfect for both residential and commercial spaces, including walls and floors.
Advantages of Porcelain Tiles:
Durability:
These tiles are tough and resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
Easy Maintenance:
They require minimal upkeep. A simple vacuum or mop will keep them looking great for years, thanks to their water resistance.
Perfect for High Traffic Areas:
Their robust nature makes them ideal for busy areas, such as commercial spaces, where they maintain their look and shape over time.
FAQs
- Which is better, porcelain or ceramic tiles?
Porcelain tiles are more durable and resistant to wear and tear, making them a better choice than ceramic tiles. - Are porcelain tiles waterproof?
Yes, they are water-resistant, making them perfect for bathrooms and other wet areas. - Can they break easily?
Porcelain tiles are extremely strong and durable. They can be a bit brittle due to their density but can be easily repaired if damaged.
Visual Inspection
We ensure each ceramic tile is meticulously inspected for any visible defects, including cracks, chips, scratches, or glaze inconsistencies. Our commitment to quality guarantees that the color remains uniform across all tiles in a batch. Additionally, we verify that the pattern or design is consistent and properly aligned, ensuring a flawless and cohesive finish for your project.
Dimensional Accuracy
We meticulously measure the dimensions of each ceramic tile to ensure they fall within specified tolerances for size and thickness. To guarantee flatness, we check for any warping or bending by placing the tile on a flat surface. Additionally, we ensure the corners are perfectly square, maintaining right angles for precise and seamless installation.
Mechanical Properties
We rigorously test each ceramic tile's breaking strength to ensure it can withstand specified loads without breaking. Additionally, we assess the tile's resistance to scratches using the Mohs scale of hardness, guaranteeing durability and long-lasting performance in various environments.
Water Absorption
Our porcelain tiles boast an exceptionally low water absorption rate of just 0.05%, making them ideal for wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. This minimal porosity ensures that the tiles remain durable, resistant to moisture, and maintain their structural integrity and appearance even in the most humid environments.
