Modern technologies in the area of facing coatings do not stand still and constantly expand the range of materials proposed. There are practically no restrictions on functionality, coloring, texture and areas. Those who wish can only choose the right material.
One of the most popular facing materials is porcelain. This is an artificial material that combines the features of ceramics, granite and porcelain.
For the first time developed the production and use of porcelain tiles in Italy. The versatility of porcelain tiles, its technical characteristics and the variety of design allowed him to win one of the leading positions in the facing materials market.
Cerammotor from clay is made by pressing and subsequent high -temperature firing. Due to the features of the technology, this artificial “stone” has high wear resistance, which allows you to use it in places with high cross -country ability, avoiding surface abrasion and reducing the quality of the coating. The stability of porcelain tile to temperature extremes allow it to be used when facing both internal and external surfaces.
Also, a great advantage of porcelain tile is its rich color palette and a variety of textures. Manufacturers offer, for example, porcelain stoneware imitating wood or natural stone. And the use of this artificial material in the design of the premises gives great opportunities for the implementation of fantasies of designers and decorators.
The strength of porcelain tiles and its chemical stability also allows you to use any detergent for its cleaning, as well as moving furniture without fear of damaging it without prejudice. In cafes, cinemas, restaurants and hotels, it is recommended to use porcelain stoneware with non -slip coating and one -color coating. In rooms with a high degree of pollution, it is better to use glazed porcelain stoneware to facilitate the subsequent cleaning of it. You can also choose porcelain border slabs of various thicknesses: for example, for rooms with a high load on the floors, it is recommended to choose a tile with a thickness of 14 mm.
Manufacturers of porcelain tiles also offer a large selection of plates sizes – from 5 to 120 cm. The most popular are the dimensions of 30×30 cm or 60×60 cm. If necessary, by additional processing, you can cut out of the porcelain part of any necessary sizes and forms.
