Ceramic Tile:-
Ceramic tile is made up of
sand, natural products, and
clays and once it has been
moulded into shape they are
then fired in a kiln.

When making ceramic tiles


they can either be glazed or
unglazed, but the majority
of homeowners have glazed
ceramic tiles in their home.
With their increasing popularity, there are hundreds of different
designs of ceramic tiles.
If you are considering changing your flooring, it is important to
consider the advantages associated with using these tiles in your
home.

The Benefits of Ceramic Tiles:-


1. Durability
2. Resistances
3. Color Permanence
4. Hygienic
5. Easily Maintenance
6. Design Options
7. Ceramic Prising
8. Hard Solid Surafce
Uses & Types Of Ceramic Tile:-
These tiles can be used to tile your floors at residential places or
commercial spaces.. These are made of clay, sand and natural
products. There are different types of ceramic tiles and these are
differentiated on the basis of their form or finish.

Types:-
1. Porcelain Tile
2. Terracotta Tile
3. Quarry Tile
4. Mosaic Tile
 
The usages of ceramic tiles
differ as per their type. Certain
tiles can be used in bathrooms
and kitchens.
While the others, can be used as
ceramic wall tiles.
There are also ceramic tiles
available that are tough enough
to be used for office flooring.
Certain ceramic tiles are also
used for your outdoors, patios,
etc.
You can also use ceramic tiles
for your living room.
Types Of Ceramic Tiles:-
1. Porcelain tiles:-
Porcelain tiles are ceramic tiles commonly used to cover floors
and walls, with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5 percent.
The clay used to build porcelain tiles is generally denser. They
can either be glazed or unglazed. Porcelain tiles are one type of
vitrified tiles, and are sometimes referred to as porcelain vitrified
tiles.
2. Terracotta Tile:-
Terracotta is a type of ceramic made from special red and brown
clays. This material is shaped into the desired tile design and then is
allowed to dry. After that, it is fired, either in a kiln or in a
combustible pit. Firing the clay makes it hard, and durable, allowing
it to serve as flooring. It can then be glazed to make it impervious to
stains, sealed to protect it from damage, or left untreated in its
natural state.
3. Quarry Tile:-
Quarry tile is a very hard, impervious paving tile made from the
ground minerals formed and fired in much the same way as is use
to make brick.
They are typically harder than ordinary clay bricks,
due to the minerals used and the high firing temperatures. Unlike
clay terracotta, quarry tiles are not porous and will resist water;
and unlike ceramic tile and porcelain, quarry tile does not have a
surface glaze layer.
4. Mosaic Tile:-
Mosaic tile is manufactured by adhering ceramic or natural stone
pieces onto a mesh backing. Because of the limitless variety of
stones, the range of colors and textures available is vast.
Mosaic tiles may be applied to both walls and floors, and they are an
excellent choice for areas that may get wet, such as kitchens and
baths, because the surface does not become slippery.
Manufacturing Process:-
Flow Chart of Manufacturing Process of Ceramic Tiles:-
Installation Process:-
1. Prepare the Surface:- Make sure your surfaces are clean,
smooth, and dry for best results. Take time to repair, patch, and level
any damaged or uneven areas.
Double check to make sure the surface is structurally sound and the
area free of wax, soap scum, and grease.

2. Begin Your Layout:- For an efficient layout, start by marking


the center point of each of the walls in the room.
Next, snap chalk lines between the center points of opposite walls to
pinpoint the center of the room.
Make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the intersection
creates perfect squares.
Starting at the center point, lay a row of loose tiles along the center
lines in both directions, using tile spacers as you go for even,
uniform joints.
Installation Process
3. Apply the Adhesive:- Using the flat side of the trowel type
recommended on the adhesive package, spread a 1/4" coat on the
surface of one grid area without covering the guidelines.
After doing so, hold the trowel at a 45-degree angle and use the
notched side to comb adhesive into standing ridges.
When you remove the excess adhesive, you leave behind a uniform,
ridged setting bed for your tile.

4. Cut Tile as Needed:- Start by marking carefully measured


cuts-to-be with a pencil or felt-tip pen on the tile surface.
You can use a tile cutter to achieve pinpoint straight or diagonal cuts.
Make masterful curved cuts with a nipper, chipping away small
pieces for best results.

5.Set Your Tile:-Using a slight twisting motion, set tiles one at a


time and avoid sliding them into place.
Be sure to either insert spacers as each tile is set or leave equal joints
between tiles. Save the perimeter tiles in each grid for last, leaving a
1/4th inch gap between the tile and wall.
Once a grid is completely installed, tap in all tiles with a rubber
mallet or hammer and wood block to ensure a solid bond and level
plane. Remove excess adhesive from joints with a putty knife and
from tile with a damp sponge to prevent an uneven appearance.

6.Grounting Jonts:- Tilt the float at a 45-degree angle and with


the edge of the float, remove the excess grout from the surface
immediately. Now tilt the float at a 90-degree angle and scrape it
diagonally across the tiles.
Once you've let the grout set slightly for around 15 to 20 minutes, use
a damp sponge to clean any residue from the surface and smooth the
grout joints.
Polish with a soft cloth and give your newly grouted floor 72 hours
before any heavy use and at least three weeks before applying sealers
or polishes.
