Good ceramic properties

Ceramic segmentation

Ceramics are generally divided into 2 categories: ceramics that have a glossy surface and ceramics that have a matte surface. The types of ceramics can be distinguished according to the information that is included on their packaging, that in general, all ceramics in any type and sample are placed in 4 categories in terms of quality and they are named as grade ceramics. We know grades 1 to 4. The information that is written on the packages and we should pay attention to them are: quality grade P.E.I Water absorption rate Multiplication of friction Frost resistance Multi-colored ceramics

What is the degree in the color of the tile?

You must have heard that some ceramic was grade 1, but another was grade 2 or 3. These grades are one of the most important things that tell you whether a ceramic is good or not. The better the quality of the ceramic, the higher its price. In this case, you should remember that good and suitable ceramics for the floor should be grade 1 or at least grade 2, and to reduce the cost for the walls, you can also use grade 3 ceramics. There is one point in this regard, and that is that you can use ceramics that have better quality for your wall, but think of using low-quality ceramics and tiles for the floor for the sake of economy. You should get out, because this will waste your capital and money.

PEI or degree of abrasion in ceramics

PEI or degree of abrasion is a bit on the ceramic boxes, but it should be noted that this rating is only for glossy ceramics and it does not exist in matte ceramics. Basically, the degree of abrasion shows the durability of that ceramic as a floor ceramic and it is denoted by aa. You should choose the PEI of your ceramic according to your needs, because using a ceramic with a high PEI for a place that is not exposed to wear is a mistake and will increase costs.

The degree of absorption of ceramic water or w.A

The degree of water absorption or W.A in ceramics The degree of water absorption in ceramics determines for you whether the ceramic you intend to buy can be used for humid environments or not. These classifications divide different ceramics into 4 quality grades in terms of water absorption. The last category, which naturally should have the highest water absorption, absorbs 7% of its weight, the next category 3 to 7%, the next category 0.5 to 3%, and the first category, which has the lowest water absorption, is almost impenetrable and from 0 to 0.5% of its weight absorbs water and is a good option for pools and places where water and humidity should not pass through.

What is the percentage of lazy in ceramics?

COF is a measure to determine the level of slipperiness of ceramics and tiles, and it determines the tile's resistance to slipping. The lower the COF, the more slippery your ceramic floor will be, so you should consider choosing ceramics with a COF greater than 50 for your home. On the other hand, if you are going to choose ceramics for a high-traffic commercial building, you should remember to use ceramics that have a COF of 60 or more. Another point is that COF is one of the criteria that you should keep in mind when buying ceramics for bathrooms and toilets.

What is the purpose of resistance to cold and multi -colored ceramics?

This is the rating that shows the resistance of ceramic or tile in outdoor spaces and cold. In this case, you should consider this criterion only when you intend to buy ceramics for the outdoor space.
