One of the most popular constructionmaterials in our days is porcelain stoneware. The technical characteristics of these plates are such that they are suitable for almost everything. With their help, they facade the facades, equip the sidewalks, and also widely apply them in finishing the premises. It is because of this universality that different types of this building material began to appear, such as porcelain stoneware, facade and so on. About what kind of qualities these "magic" plates possess, and also how to apply them correctly, read below.
It would seem that only five years ago, none of theresidents of Russia and did not guess that such porcelain stoneware. The technical characteristics of the material were also unknown, as a result of which various alternative options were used, which often harmed people's health.
Now take a look at the raw materialnew material, which is discussed in the article. It includes feldspar, white clay, quartz sifted sand (extremely clean), kaolin and environmentally friendly coloring pigments. Due to this set of natural components, it does not harm either the environment or the person, and the dyes that are added to it (naturally, they are non-toxic) allow creating various color variations. That is why it is so often used in various types of finishing and facade work.
Technical characteristics of the material in the firstturn tell us about its super strength and high frost resistance. This is due to the fact that very high temperatures and high pressures are used in the production of cast blocks. As a result, the material turns out to be very dense, does not pass through itself neither cold (or hot) air, nor water, nor snow. That is why it is often used in the processing of both exterior surfaces (facades of houses) and internal ones.
This material is perfectly combined with the so-called warm floor, it even increases heat output, which is extremely important in the conditions of our severe Russian climate.
Have you ever wondered whyRecently, so often porcelain flooring is used in the design of both private houses and public spaces? The fact is that the high degree of strength of this tile makes it wear-resistant. It withstands the maximum maximum mechanical loads, while it does not sag, does not deform and does not crack. Moreover, porcelain stoneware, whose technical characteristics are simply impressive, retains the pattern on its surface for many years. It is not so important, how many people will walk on the tiles every day, its pristine appearance will be preserved for a long time. Over time, a little paint dull, but all other properties will remain the same, which will save you the need to do cosmetic repairs in the room every few years.
Now consider how this miracle materiallooks. Today, this floor covering manufacturers give absolutely any color and shape. Tiles can imitate some kind of natural stones (granite, marble, turquoise, quartz, etc.). This gives you the opportunity to create a luxurious and expensive interior with the help of affordable quality material. Along with this, each tile (porcelain stoneware) floor can be filled with a single color (beige, white, gray, green - on request). This will be an ideal option for those who want to decorate the room in a certain color scheme. Well, combining tiles of different colors and sizes, you can collect on the floor a real mosaic. However, in this case you will have to select with greater caution all the other elements of the decor, because most of all it will pay attention to the floor itself, consisting of many elements.
If you decide to do a major overhaul in yourdwelling, it is worth remembering why it is recommended to choose the porcelain for the floor. Technical characteristics of the material are much better even in comparison with natural stone, and at the same time the tile weighs less, and it is mounted one order of magnitude easier. The fact is that the stone has an unwanted porosity for the house. In the microscopic holes that exist on its surface, dust, dirt and other household rubbish are constantly stuffed. It can not be cleaned over the years, but this is not the worst thing. Due to constant exposure from the outside, as well as the weight of furniture and people, the stone can begin to crack, a little deformed. The drawing applied to its surface is quickly erased, and all aesthetic appearance disappears. All this can be easily avoided by replacing such a natural material with porcelain stoneware, which is available and very common in the modern building materials market.
Modern builders offer consumerspay attention to the quality of ceramic tiles, as inertness to the effect of alkalis, acids and other food and household mixtures. Its structure is so small that even different microscopic chemical elements can not get inside and destroy the coating. In addition, each tile is covered with a protective layer of durable glass, which is a kind of barrier in the way of not only domestic garbage, but also the chemicals that we use every day. Exception is only the composition, which includes acid HF, which is able to corrode even glass. To this set of positive qualities, one can not but add the fire resistance of ceramic granite tiles. It not only can not be directly affected by the flame, but it can also detain it for a long time, even if a fire begins. This allows you to better preserve those supporting structures that were covered with the material described.
As noted above, the parameters of thisfinishing materials can be very different. In the range of building stores there are huge lots of standard samples. This is most often porcelain stoneware 600x600 or 300x300 for the floor, as well as products of smaller size for walls and ceilings. There are even among the standard batches of rectangular tiles, for example, 600x300 or 200x100. However, if there is a certain design intent, then there is no need to choose this material from the proposed options and adapt to them. You can make it to order, with the dimensions you need, as well as the texture and color.
Now you know that one of the mostpopular building materials in our days is just porcelain. Photos of this material are presented in the article, and thanks to them right now you can roughly imagine what it looks like and what it is. Well, if you decide to buy it for finishing the house or premises inside it, you will not regret it, as this material has excellent technical characteristics and will last for several decades.
