Porcelain Tiles Are Simply Gorgeous
Since time immemorial, Porcelain tiles have been the favorite flooring material for kitchen and baths. It is a type of ceramic tile which can either be glazed or unglazed. These tiles are made by mixing clay and other substances together and heating it at extremely high temperatures. The procedure hardens these tiles. However, the hardness and porousness of these tiles depends upon the length of time and temperature they are exposed to. Porcelain tiles are much harder than ceramic tiles as the former is fired for a longer duration.
These tiles make popular flooring material but can also be used on walls. The glazed type is preferred for bathroom walls, primarily because of its low water absorption rate. Porcelain tiles are graded on their hardness and their ability to resist moisture absorption. There is a special scale to rate the porcelain tiles from zero to five, with five being the hardest. The harder tiles are applied on floors and wall, while the lower rated material are normally used as electrical insulator in appliances and other electronic equipments. The best porcelain tiles are the ones that make it to the highest ratings. But, the lower grade tiles are suitable for other applications..
These tiles are chip resistant and are perfect material for counter top surfaces. More often than not, Porcelain tiles not only prove to be more resistant than natural stones, but are also easier to maintain. It does not call for any special sealants or treatments and can be less absorbent than natural stone.
There are certain points to consider while going for porcelain tiles. For example, outdoor applications will need frost proof tiles as these are the hardest rated tiles. Always look for full bodied tile, which means that the color of the tile goes all the way through the tile and this will be the hardest tile. This is mandatory while floorings. Often, these tiles are manufactured with only a hint of color on the surface that can corrode with prolonged exposure. Porcelain tile does not have the same design option that is available with ceramic tile.
Porcelain tiles are expensive as compared to ceramic tiles but effectively prove to be cost-effective in the long-run. The cost generally depends upon the tile rating and the pattern. Size also plays a major role in deciding the cost. Most of the home improvement stores will feature an array of Porcelain tile. These tiles are a great value for money as they are durable and stain-proof.
