Practical information

- Very high variety
- Resistant to water and humidity
- High strength and durability
- Can be used in hot and cold climates

Ceramic has more physical resistance than stone of the same size and thickness.
- Stone erodes over time, but not ceramics.
- The specific weight of ceramics is less than stone.
- A much higher variety of colors and designs
- Higher chemical resistance in the vicinity of acids and corrosives
- The long life of ceramic compared to parquet
- More suitable price

- High strength due to impact and pressure and sharp objects
- The long life of ceramic compared to parquet
- Resistant to water and humidity
- Being fireproof
- Position against rays and sunlight
- Anti acid, chemicals and corrosives

The basic difference between ceramic and porcelain tile is in their production technology. Porcelain is the result of a more controlled manufacturing process than conventional ceramics, made through a mixture of porcelain clay and various minerals heated at over 1,200 degrees Celsius. As a result, the obtained ceramics are more uniform, denser, sterilized and resistant than normal ceramics.
Also, porcelains have less porosity in the structure and therefore have a very low water absorption index, which guarantees the longevity of porcelains. This feature makes porcelain suitable for high traffic places such as airports or shopping centers. Porcelain glazes have more color variety and offer a special appearance.
Conventional ceramics are composed of a mixture of clay and some minerals. Due to the slight differences, ceramics in turn can offer more interesting aesthetics.

The large number of holes on the glaze, the color difference between them, the irregularity of the edges, the slight protrusions, the difference in size, the convexity or the concaveness, and the printing defects cause the tile or ceramic grade to decrease from one to four.

This durability is highly dependent on installation. In order to increase the durability of the tile, the subfloor or the surface on which it is tiled must be smooth, resistant and without abnormalities. Depending on the dimensions of each tile, a suitable mortar and a certain thickness should be used.

Usually yes, but only if the sub-surface is properly installed and not broken or uneven. However, it is not generally the most convenient option, and although you will save money and time initially, you may incur higher costs later on. Keep in mind that installing tiles on top of tiles will make the hall smaller and cause problems near the doors.

Each of these glazes has its own unique features that you should prepare according to your own needs, for example, matte glaze gets dirty slowly and in places where there is water, because it has a high friction surface, it slips less quickly compared to glossy glaze. And it is easy to clean, but it is more slippery than matte glaze.

Mortar can be used to install all ceramics, except porcelain, which has low water absorption. In general, from the technical point of view, glue has a better performance in all uses, but because installation with it requires underlayment and the price of the glue itself is higher than that of cement materials, the finished costs of mortar or grout work are cheaper, and one last point is that in the method Adhesive installation, we need a more skilled installer.

Yes, the type of soil used in percelate ceramics is white clay or porcelain, which has a high percentage of kaolin and has lower water absorption and is stronger than red clay.
