Unlike other ceramic tiles composed of several non-organic materials, porcelain tiles are made of a single material produced using a press system. Porcelain tiles are a combination of earth and clay pressed under high pressure and then baked under high temperatures. By pressing the tiles are often heavier than a tile with clay. However, they will be very abrasion resistant and frost proof. This type of tiling is often rectified, that is to say, intersected in the factory to an exact dimension for a better aesthetics and a minimum width of joints between the tiles. It is important to note that the enamel layer of this product makes it more sensitive to shocks.This material is the most versatile of all, it allows use both indoors and outdoors, and can be laid on walls or floors. They are very resistant, with a tension force of 2000 N and a material thickness of 15 mm, which can reach 8000 N. The porcelain is very dense, which makes its porosity negligible and its capacity to absorb the porcelain. Even though most of the porcelain tiles now on the market have much lower absorption levels (0.02 and 0.05%), we can have a Porcelain almost impermeable and very resistant to frost and temperature changes. There are different types of porcelain tiles; polished, unpolished, unglazed and enameled. The hardness of unpolished porcelain is higher than that of polished porcelain and is classified between 6 and 8 for the non-polished, 3 and 5 for the polished. The color of the porcelain tile is usually determined by changing the combination of soil and clay, but it is also possible to apply a layer of enamel or polish it.
