Polished porcelain floor tiles

Various Ceramic Products

Porcelain tiles are produced by a different method from normal ceramic tiles.Instead of the glaze being applied to a ceramic base tile the glaze is blended with the clay that forms the tile.This porcelain clay "body" is then pressed at extreme pressure to form the tile in a highly sophisticated hydraulic pressing machine.

The Porcelain tiles are then fired at very high temperatures exceeding 1200 degrees Centigrade resulting in an extremely hard, dense, homogenous tile.Polished Porcelain tiles are then polished to a very high finish using exactly the same equipment as is used to polish Granite and Marble.

Why consider polished porcelain tiles?

They have certain advantages over natural materials.They are virtually non absorbent and are extremely hard and durable.They fill a gap in that they complement perfectly the minimal requirements of contemporary design and the polished collection represents fabulous value for such a hard wearing surface.Large sizes are now available ranging from 600mm to 800mm square.

You will sometimes see the term "rectified" used.This indicates that the Porcelain tile has been machine ground on all four edges to ensure size tolerance in exactly the same way as Granite or Marble.Large format tiles ie 600x600mm should not be laid with less than 4mm joint as slight variations in size will occur.

As with all ceramic tiles shade variation will occur with different production batches of Porcelain tiles.It is important to ensure that sufficient tiles are ordered to complete the project.We are happy to send samples of current batches

Morbi's Porcelain tiles are of the highest quality and cannot be compared with alternative cheaper products.
