General Characteristic of PORCELAIN TILE

1. Clay composite based that are denser and more compact.

2. Water absorption lower (less than or equal to 0.5% water absorption)

3. Firing temp higher at 1200 to 1500 deg c.

4. More compact and have higher mechanical strength.

5. Surface can be unglazed, glazed (layer of coating), polished or semi-polished.

6. Pattern not as varied as ceramic tiles.

7. Easily cleaned with soap and water, or mild acid if in contact with cement stains. However, for Polished Porcelain or Homogenous tiles, acid cannot be used to wash the surface as etching might occur that result in blurred surfaces. Instead soap water (wet cleaning) or white cement with scotch-brite brush (dry cleaning) could be used to remove the wax protecting the surface of the tile.

8. Suitable for use in indoor and outdoor areas.
