Advantages Ceramic tiles
Diverse ceramic tiles
Classified by their water absorption rate
Made of clay and other inorganic raw materials
Ceramic tiles are made of clay and other inorganic raw materials. These materials are ground and/or kneaded, shaped and then dried and fired at a sufficient temperature for them to acquire the required properties on a stable basis.
The most typical types of ceramic tiles are: porous, stoneware, porcelain, and rustic stoneware tiles.
They are mainly classified by their water absorption rate (with terracotta having the highest water absorption rate and porcelain tiles the lowest), by the way they are shaped (pressed, extruded or laminated), and by whether they are glazed or unglazed.
