What is the difference between ceramic and tile?

The tile is available in different shapes and with a thickness of several millimeters, which is made of hard materials such as stone, glass, metal, etc. and at a temperature above 1000 degrees Celsius. Tiles are used as one of the building materials to cover the floor, ceiling, wall or other surfaces. The types of tiles are as follows:

🔶 Mosaic A stone Glass Ceramic 🔶 Porslan 🔶 stained glass and...

cover the tiles with glaze. Glaze can be matte, shiny, patterned, plain, etc. which are designed and made for different tastes.

When inorganic and non-mineral materials are used for the glaze on the tile, in addition to the materials used, the quality of the glaze is different, which is called ceramic. Ceramics are also fired at a higher temperature and this is done several times. For example, ceramic is also used to cover the bathroom floor.

In terms of appearance, these two are very similar, but they have minor differences that can be distinguished from each other. 🔴 The designs of the tiles are lighter because they are baked less. Ceramics are thicker than tiles. Ceramics do not change color over time and are resistant to sunlight. The variety of design and color of tiles is more than that of ceramics.

Tile is used more for wall covering because of its elegance, and ceramic is used for covering the floor because of its greater resistance. The difference between tile and ceramic is that the tile is less resistant to cold and heat, so it is used for closed environments. Because the floor is more exposed to water than the wall. 🔵 Ceramic does not change its state against fire. It is used in spaces that may be exposed to extreme heat and fire. 🔵 Regarding the difference between ceramic and tile, I must say that, in general, the lifespan of ceramic is longer than that of tile. 🔵 If cleanliness and hygiene are important to you and you are sensitive in this field, I must say that ceramics are easily cleaned with a napkin or a cleaner. Ceramic is a poor conductor of electricity and heat. For this reason, it is suitable for the floor of the house. Because it keeps the energy and heat of the building. 🔵 It is also useful to study the method of arranging tiles and ceramics on the floor.

🔵 The tile is structurally composed of two parts. A tile that is made of clay and a glaze that forms its upper part.

🔵 Ceramic is made of inorganic and non-metallic materials and a mixture of clay, sand and feldspar.

We can talk about the difference between tiles and ceramics in terms of their cost. The price comparison in this regard depends on the type of ceramic and tile selected. Some tiles have a high and astronomical price, which are usually used for special spaces such as towers, etc. Also, ceramics are not exempted from this rule. According to the material and design, they have different prices.
