  Ceramic Body


 

Red - A body formed from red or colored clay, visible if unglazed and invisible if glazed. Red clays owe their coloring to the presence of other minerals such as iron and other oxides, organic material, etc.

White - White clays differ from red clays in their careful extraction and in their lack of other minerals, which also guarantees uniform properties in supplies from different sources. Also, the temperatures used in the firing of white clay products are usually higher than those of red clay, products which together with the better quality and uniformity of the raw materials and the greater security of the manufacturing process, give tiles of white clay technical and aesthetic advantages over those of red clay.

Porcelain - Porcelain is the hardest type of tile available today.
It features a very dense body that is impervious to staining, scratching and freezing. Porcelain tile can be used for indoor and outdoor applications making it an excellent choice for commercial floor applications.

Porcelain tile is defined as an impervious tile with a water absorption of 0.5% or less as measured by the ASTM C373 test method.  Two main type of porcelain tile are : Glazed Porclain and Uni-body Porcelain.  Glazed Porcelain tiles have a porcelain body with a ceramic colour glaze on top making them exceptionally stylish and care free maintenance.  Uni-body Porcelain tiles are made of coloured procelain material so the top is the same colour as the body of the tile.  These tiles are excellent for commercial use as abrasive wear and chipping will not alter the colour of the tile.
