Ceramic floor tiles and floor porcelain tiles can be used both as indoor flooring and for cladding outdoor platforms and stairs. Floor ceramic tiles are made from special shale clays of fine fraction, since the scope of ceramic floor tiles involves a number of features that distinguish them from other types of tiles. This is, first of all, increased strength and abrasion resistance, anti-slip surface, moisture resistance, resistance to household detergents and frost resistance, which is especially important for floor tiles used outdoors.

In addition, ceramic floor tiles are great for embodying design ideas for creating original interiors and facades. The ability to create a uniform surface during production (unlike, for example, natural stone or marble), a huge variety of colors, sizes and shapes allows you to maximize the individual approach to each project.

The GRESTYLE company offers wholesale porcelain stoneware, the price of porcelain stoneware for author's interiors and other original projects confidently competes with the prices of porcelain stoneware from other suppliers. Compared with other ceramic finishing materials, porcelain stoneware has appeared recently. Italy can be considered the birthplace of ceramic granite, where it is called "gres porcellanato", that is, "stone-ceramic porcelain". This name is explained by the fact that porcelain stoneware is similar to porcelain in terms of production method, and in terms of its properties and appearance - to stone.

Today, ceramic granite has deservedly taken a leading position among finishing materials. Porcelain stoneware owes this popularity to its outstanding strength and wear resistance, due to the very high density of the material. During the production of porcelain stoneware, the tiles formed from the prepared mass are subjected to very high pressure in hydraulic presses, as a result of which even small voids are absent in the finished porcelain stoneware tiles, after which firing is carried out at a temperature of more than 1200C.

Due to this, porcelain stoneware has extremely low water absorption - less than 0.5%, which means high frost resistance. The main reason for the destruction of materials at low temperatures is the presence of water that precipitates in the form of condensate in pores and voids, and then freezes. Due to the high density of porcelain stoneware, there is simply nowhere for water to accumulate. Therefore, even with repeated significant drops in temperature and subsequent defrosting, ceramic granite does not crack. Attention is drawn to the fact that porcelain stoneware has greater strength and wear resistance than natural stone.

Facing ceramic tiles are made in various ways on the basis of white and red clay. Production technology determines the main properties and price of facing ceramic tiles. For example, ceramic wall tiles are produced by the so-called bicotture - a method involving two phases of burning tiles, during the second enamel is fired, which is not characterized by high surface strength, since this facing ceramic tiles are not designed to withstand constant mechanical loads and are used for lining walls indoors.

Producers offer variety of designs of a ceramic tile for walls: various invoices, textures, colors and formats. It is necessary to take into account the method of production of facing ceramic tiles, focusing on the intended scope of application.
