Advantages and Disadvantages of Polished Tiles

Advantages of Polished Tiles

1, first, no radioactive elements: natural stones are mineral substances, without high temperature sintering so that they contain trace amounts of radioactive elements. Prolonged exposure to natural stones is harmful to the human body; polished tiles will not cause harm to the human body; 2, second, basically color difference can be controlled: natural stones suffer serious color aberration due to diagenesis time as well as rock strata's different chromatic shades. Polished tiles are elaborately mixed so that products of the same assignment have the same design and color, basically without color aberration; 3, third, high bending strength: due to differences of natural formation, forming time, weathering, natural stones have different densification levels and strength; polished tiles are made by pressing of thousands of tons hydraulic press, and then by high temperature sintering of more than 1200 ℃ so that they are of high strength; 4, fourth: polished tiles are thin and light: because of low strength, natural stones are thick and heavy after processing, which increases the load of floor building, makes a potential threat, rises costs, and increases transportation, paving and other difficulties. 5, fifth, polished tiles are anti-skidding: it is important for floor tiles to be safely anti-slip. In particular homes with the aged and children pay more attention to tiles anti-slip effect. Polished tiles' surface is so bright and clean that many consumers think their anti-slip effect is weak. If there is water on the tiles, it will be more dangerous. Thus consumers avoid it like the plague, but choose matt tiles. In fact, all polished tiles are anti-slip. If there is soil on the tiles, they will be slippery while if there is water on the tiles, they will be hard-going. So keeping daily cleaning will not affect their anti-slip effect. On the anti-sliding performance, polished tiles are the same as matte tiles.

Critical Defect of Polished Tiles

Due to their hardness, wear resistance, and suitability for indoor and outdoor large-area pavement, polished tiles are popular among consumers. However, pores left on the polished tiles during production will hide dirt and dust, causing pollutants infiltration to tile surface. Even some tea sprinkled down on the polished tiles, they cannot be saved. Perhaps the tile industry has been aware of that, then some high-quality polished tiles have been added an antifouling layer when leaving factories. But this layer of antifouling makes polishing tiles losing their effect of vetrified tiles. There is also a method in fitment industry that wax before construction to prevent sticking dirt. Now countries with top antifouling technology for polished porcelain tiles are Italy, Spain and other European countries. And anti-fouling technology has become a required course for good polished tile products.
