TILING: VITRIFIED TILES AND ITS TYPESMANUFACTURED PIECE OF HARD-WEARING MATERIAL (LIKE: CERAMIC, STONE, METAL OR GLASS)MAINLY USED TO COVER ROOFS, FLOORS, WALLS, SHOWERS, SURFACE TOPS AND COUNTERS AND MANY MORE.WIDE VARITIES IN TERMS OF ITS MATERIAL USED, PURPOSE OF USE, SHAPES ETC.CAN BE MADE OUT OF SOME OTHER MATERIALS (LIKE: GLASS, MARBLE, ONYX, GRANITE, SLATE ETC.) TILING

VITRIFIED TILES AND ITS TYPESVITRIFIED TILES:

CERAMIC TILE WITH VERY LOW POROSITYPOPULAR IN USEALTERNATIVE TO MARBLE AND GRANITEVERY MUCH DURABLECOST DEPENDS UPON MASS PRODUCTION, MATERIAL USED FOR GLAZINGCAN BE CLASSIFIED FURTHER AS: DOUBLE/MULTI CHARGED, FULL BODY, GLAZED, DIGITALIZED

DOUBLE/MULTI CHARGED:FED THROGH A PROCESS THAT PRINTS PATTERNS WITH DOUBLE LAYER OF PIGMENT3-4MM THICKER THAN OTHER TYPES OF TILESNO COMPLEX PATTERNSSUITABLE FOR HEAVY TRFFIC PROJECTSRESULTS IN A LONG WEARING TILE SURFACEFULL BODY:HAVE PIGMENT IN ENTIRE BODYMAKES CHIPS & SCRATCHES LESS NOTICEABLEIDEAL FOR HIGH TRAFFIC ZONESGLAZED:HAVE A GLAZED SURFACEWIDE VARIETY OF DESIGN, ART WORK, AND SURFACE TEXTURESEXPENSIVE PROCESS
