Question 1

What are vitrified tiles?

Accepted Answer

Vitrified tiles are made by a high-temperature vitrification process combining clay, silica and feldspar. This creates a dense, glass-like finish making the tiles very hard, durable and nearly impermeable to water.

Question 2

What is "Full Body" vitrified tile?

Accepted Answer

A tile where the color and pattern go all the way through the body, meaning scratches or wear won't reveal a different color underneath.

Question 3

What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain tiles are fired at higher temperatures and are denser and harder than ceramic tiles. They absorb <0.5% water (ASTM standard), whereas ceramic tiles absorb ~3–7%. Porcelain’s low porosity makes it more durable and water-resistant.
