When you think of something that’s made of ceramic, chances are you’re imagining fine china that’s fragile and delicate. However, when it comes to ceramic tile, that reputation for fragility is not really accurate, and it shouldn’t deter you from considering this unique tile for your project. Let’s take a deeper look at what ceramic tile really is and how you can use it in your home.
Ceramic tile is made of clay which is formed into a tile-shaped mold, glazed and then fired under intense heat in a kiln. The baking process removes most of the moisture from the tile and hardens it, resulting in a tile that’s suitable for a variety of uses in both residential and commercial settings.
By definition, porcelain tile is any tile with an absorption rate of one half of one percent or less. Porcelain begins as a refined clay mixture. Typically, this mixture contains clay, silica sand, feldspar and sometimes other minerals. These are combined with water to form a sand-like consistency, and the mixture is then slightly dried to achieve the perfect moisture level for the next step. If color body porcelain is being made, the clay mixture is colored to match the surface color of the tile.
The clay mixture is then pressed into tile shapes, sizes and and in some tile, surface options, other than flat are pressed into the body of the tile. After this, the tile is then baked to remove most of the remaining moisture. Next, the desired pattern and colors are applied using special printing technology, known as digital print technology. This allows a huge range of designs to be created, including porcelain tiles that look like wood, marble, brick, stone, cement and other materials. Once the pattern or color is applied, the tiles are glazed to form a protective surface. The final product is durable, water-resistant, and has zero emissions.
Ceramic tile and porcelain tile are made in a similar fashion—both from clay that is fired in a kiln. However, there are a couple important differences between the two. Porcelain is hardened at a higher temperature and is made of a finer clay mixture, making it denser, more durable and more water-resistant than ceramic.
Many porcelain products have either a color-body or through-body composition while ceramic is always glazed. This means that If a color body or through body porcelain tile is chipped, the color inside is the same as the surface. This means that if a porcelain tile is chipped, the color inside is the same as the surface.
Recommended uses can vary from product to product, but in general ceramic tile is a good choice for interior walls, fireplaces and shower walls. A three-dimensional ceramic tile design can add unique texture and interest to a room, and geometric tile shapes are a great way to showcase what ceramic has to offer. Whether you’re looking for the perfect tile for a bathroom, kitchen, living area or hallway, ceramic tile is a chic and classic choice. Because it is somewhat porous, ceramic tile is not a great option for outdoor applications—it can absorb water and then crack when frozen.
Porcelain tile can be used for a range of applications inside and outside of the home. Popular uses include porcelain flooring (such as wood-look porcelain “planks”), marble looks, limestone looks, concrete, and backsplashes and shower walls. Porcelain tile with Anti-Slip Finish can even be used in outdoor or wet spaces, such as patios, bathroom floors and more. Porcelain tile can also be used on the waterline of outdoor swimming pools or spas.
