Ceramic Tiles

Before technology advancements, manufacturers fired ceramic tiles for hours in a periodic kiln. Now, most manufacturers use continuous kilns. A continuous kiln is a conveyor belt style technology, which allows greater accuracy. These fire at higher temperatures and achieve better consistency in finishes. In other words, recent advancements in technology have increased technical and aesthetic possibilities.

However, as technology has improved, housing prices have increased. Most people usually want to install tiles only once. That’s why many people are now opting for porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles have become a popular choice due to their density and resistance to scratching and chipping. They are also available in much larger sizes than tiles which are ceramic. Porcelain tiles have taken Australia by storm. While some countries still find ceramic tiles to be the most popular product type, generally Australians by far prefer to buy porcelain tiles. But why?

Some home owners may use a combination of different types of wall tiles and floor tiles. This is because some wall tiles including ceramics are generally cheaper. In addition, wall tiles do not have the same wear requirements as floor tiles. However, we at TFO recommend porcelain tiles for those that can afford them. That’s because porcelain tiles are more hard wearing and durable. This means that it’s unlikely that you will have to replace them once they are laid. Porcelain tiles are also available in a wider variety of designs, sizes and formats. Many people prefer porcelain tiles because they are easy to clean and maintain. In high traffic areas, porcelain tiles are by far the best option as they are more scratch resistant.
