Why Porcelain Wall Tiles are Such a Great Choice
At one time, all wall tiles were ceramic-based and you were pretty limited for choice when it came to decorating your bathroom. However, these days many suppliers will also have a range of porcelain wall tiles to consider.
And here are 5 reasons why porcelain tiles are such a good choice...
1.These tiles are just as easy to fix to the wall as ceramic ones are.
2.They are available in a wide choice of colours.
3.They are specifically designed to be scratch-resistant.
4.Porcelain tiles are only made from natural materials and this makes them 100% recyclable.
5.Because porcelain is virtually non-absorbent, these tiles are a perfect choice for bathrooms or kitchens.
Using porcelain tiles in your home may prove to be a little more costly, but it will certainly be a wise decision in the long run... Not only will they look great, but they also have a far longer lifespan than their ceramic counterparts!
There are two main types of porcelain tiles on the market–
Glazed Porcelain Tiles
Because glazed porcelain tiles are created with cutting-edge technology, they have a beautiful shiny finish that is very similar to polished granite or marble. But this handsome surface is also big on practicality; porcelain wall tiles are extremely hard-wearing and they will not suffer from any scratching during normal day to day use. And keeping these tiles clean is a really straightforward matter; they are impervious to staining and any dullness that is caused by soap or dirty water can simply be wiped away with a clean cloth.
This type of tile is suitable for either commercial installers or DIY enthusiasts. However, glazed porcelain tiles must be treated with a certain amount of respect during the actual installation process. Because they have a special finish on their surface, it is very important to ensure that the correct type of grout and adhesive is being used!
Through-Bodied Porcelain Tiles
Because through-bodied porcelain wall tiles do not have a glazed finish on them, they are even more wear-resistant! Besides, if one of these tiles were to get chipped, then it would be virtually undetectable since they are solid all of the way through!
Through-bodied porcelain tiles are stocked by a large number of suppliers, but they are mostly used by commercial installers.
