About

• Vitrified tiles are similar to their traditional
  ceramic counterparts, but are much less porous
  and are suitable for a wider range of projects.
• They are also made of clay but are mixed with
  slightly different elements. The clay is mixed
  with quartz, silica, and feldspar and then heated
  in the kiln at very high temperatures.
• These extra ingredients create a glass element
  inside the tile making the tile very hard and
  resistant to any type of absorption.

• Vitrified tiles are generally 10 to 12 mm thick,
  half the thickness of natural stones like marble
  or granite but possess better mechanical strength
  and scratch resistance.
• Vitrified tiles are highly suitable in places
  where there is high traffic and are best suitable
  for commercial purposes.
• They are largely used on floorings, kitchen
  backsplash, bench tops, and showers. They are
  often used outdoors due to their water and frost
  resistance.

Types of Vitrified Tiles

• Full body vitrified tiles come with a uniform
  colour throughout the body.
• Double charge vitrified tiles are fed through a
  press that prints the pattern with a double layer
  of pigment (two kinds of colours are fed into the
  machine).
• Glazed vitrified tiles, as the name implies, are
  finished with a glazed surface. The glazed
  surface allows any type of design and textures on
  it. They come in a variety of finishes viz.
  glossy, matte, rustic, wooden, etc.
• Polished glazed vitrified tiles are the same as
  the glazed vitrified tiles with polish on top of
  it to make it more shining. They are not as
  durable as double charge vitrified tiles.
