It comes in variety of
options.
It requires less maintenance.
Stain and scratch resistance
After 48 hours,ready to use.

Types Of Tiles
Ceramic Tiles

Porcelain Tiles

Vitrified Tiles

CERAMIC TILES
Manufacturing Materials
Ceramic tile is made up of sand,natural products,
clays and once it has been moulded into shape they
are then fired in a kiln.

Process of manufacturing

Applications of Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic Tiles are a widely used material in interior

decoration, both due to their low cost and aesthetic
look.
Glaze adds durability to the tile, and is responsible
for the colour and pattern of the tile.
Ceramic tiles are thus mainly used for decorative
purposes and in areas with low traffic density.
Ceramic tiles are used in halls ,corridors ,living
room ,bathrooms and elevations.

Application
Flooring
The major use of ceramic tiles is in flooring, and
most residential buildings prefer to use ceramic tiles
in apartments.
The low cost, ease of application and large variety
of shapes and sizes available makes them ideal for
this purpose

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages
Strong.
Longevity
Easy maintenance.
Water resistance
(which helps in stain
protection and
cleanup.)
Lasting atleast 1020 yrs. after
installation.
Dust is easily
removable.

Vitrified Tiles
Manufacturing Materials
Vitrified tiles is made by hydraulic pressing a
mixture ofclay,quartz,feldspar andsilica, which
makevitreoussurface. Thus creating a single
mass making them hard with low porosity.

Process OF Manufacturing

Types Of Vitrified Tiles

Double Charged Vitrified tiles:Tiles are fed through a press that prints the
pattern with a double layer of pigment.
3 to 4 mm thicker than other types of tile.
This process does not permit complex patterns
but results in a long-wearing tile surface.
Design layer should not be more than 4mm
thickness, which may weaken the strength of the
tile.

Digital Glazed vitrified Tiles :Haveglazedsurface.

They offer a wide variety of design,art work and
surface textures likewood grain, bamboo,slate
orstone.
The layer of print or glazes less than 1mm.
This is also an expensive process, but the cost is
dropping asdigital printingtechniques are
introduced.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages
Consistency in
size ,shade and
thickness
Performance of
vitrified tiles is
better than ceramic.
Scratch and stain
resistance.
These tiles can be
used outdoor and
indoor application.
Easy to lay and
maintain.

Disadvantag
es
They are more
expensive than
ceramic and
porcelain tiles
The tiles should
be treated with
care other the
edges might crack
and chipped.
In order to ensure
the
steadiness,high
quality adhesives
are used.

Porcelain Tiles
PROCESS OF Manufacturing
Preparation of raw material.
Made from heated,refined clay.
Pressing and drying.
Firing process with or without glazed.
Additional refreshments.
Packaging process.

Porcelain Tiles
It is commonly used to cover floors and
walls.
Water absorption rate is less than 0.5%.
They can either be glazed and unglazed.
You have to ensure that the sub-floor is
strong enough to support the weight of the
porcelain tiles.

Application Of
Porcelain Tiles

High Traffic Areas

In Wet Areas

Outdoors

For easy
maintenance

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages
Resistance to
wear and tear
Low maintenance
Holds up in high
traffic areas.
Available in many
styles
Durable
Less moisture
absorbing.

Disadvantag
es
More densityDensity is that
porcelain tile is
too hard and
more difficult to
cut the tiles.
Heavy In weight
If accidentally
drop it would
certainly break
