What is the difference between marbonite tiles and vitrified tiles?
Vitrified tiles are a type of unglazed floor tiles. Marbonite tiles are a subset of vitrified tiles. Marbonite tiles have a coating which reduces the porosity of the tiles. This coating reduces staining, allowing the tile to appear cleaner for a longer time.
What is defference between ceramic tile and vetrified tile?
Vitrified tile are stronger and much less pores. Meaning it is more stain resistant. Ceramic is glazed with only a thin layer of color. The remainder is red or white clay. If it chips you are left with clay showing. Where as vitrified and solid in color and material. Ceramic cannot be used outside where vitrified can. Vitrified though is far more costly then ceramic.
What is vitrified tiles?
Heres a great answer from the database, might tr searching that when you have a ???Vitrified tile is a thin slab of fired clay which has been made glasslike or glazed through heat and fusion, hence its name. (Vitrum is Latin for glass.) It is shiny, hard and translucent. It also enjoys very low porosity, and so it doesn't absorb water. This property makes it stain resistant and strong as well.
In simple terms what are fully vitrified tiles?
Vitrified tiles are made by combining 40% clay and 60% silica in a process called vitrification. The process of manufacture makes them extremely hard and non-porous - a great advantage over natural stones like marble which are porous and hence need a good deal of care. Vitrified tiles are virtually maintenance free and have very good abrasion resistance - which makes them very suitable for use in high traffic areas. And there is another huge advantage vitrified tiles have over most other floors. The designs on vitrified tiles are printed with soluble salts which are essentially penetrating pigments that penetrate to a depth of 2 to 3 mm below the surface of the tile ... and that means the design is present at depths of up to 25% of the tile's thickness! And the high hardness and abrasion resistance of vitrified tiles essentially means that the design is permanent for all practical purposes. In contrast, some floor polishes exist over the surface of the floor and have little abrasion resistance. But on the other hand, vitrified tiles are not currently available in a great variety of shades - at least not in as many shades as natural stone tiles are.
What is ESVC pipe?
In answer to your question the acronym 'ESVC' stands for Extra Strength Vitrified Clay. Hope this helps -Dan
