Vitrified tile is a
ceramic tile with very low porosity as vitrified tiles is made by a mixture of
clay, quartz, feldspar and silica, which make vitreous surface and since it is
waterproof its suitable for both indoors and outdoors as well as high traffic
places.
Characteristics of Vitrified Tiles
- ·Water resistant
- Durable
- Easily available
- Better mechanical strength
- Has color permanence
- Easy to clean
- Affordable
- Wide variety for choice
- Soluble salt vitrified tiles are screen printed and polished.
- Double charge vitrified tiles are fed through a press that prints the pattern with a double layer of pigment thicker than other types of tile. This process does not permit complex patterns but results in a long-wearing tile surface, suitable for heavy traffic commercial projects.
- Full body vitrified tiles have pigment in entire body (thickness) of the tile. This makes chips and scratches less noticeable and make this an ideal choice for high traffic zones, but the process significantly increases the cost.
- Glazed vitrified tiles have a glazed surface. They offer a wide variety of design, art work and surface textures like wood grain, bamboo, slate or stone. This is also an expensive process, but the cost is dropping as digital printing techniques are introduced.
