Finishing of the house - one of the most interesting works which takes place in repair process. By means of various materials it is possible to realize any dream. For example, to have brick lodge. Or you want the building decorated partially with stone, partially tile. Facing materials exists very much today. However the ceramic tile enjoys the greatest popularity.
The ceramic tile is considered ideal material for finishing of facade of the house. It is connected with her endurance, durability and resistance to environmental activity. Besides, the modern tile has rather interesting and unusual design thanks to what with its help it is possible to create unique and unique design of the house.
Types of ceramic finishing tile
Plus ceramic facing tile is that today there are very many its different types from which it is possible to pick up easily that option most of which of all will suit you. Distinguish tile on the way of molding applied on it to covering, the used basis, color, the sizes and many other parameters.
As for covering, the tile can be as glazed, i.e. enameled, and is not present. Depending on it distinguish facing material glossy and opaque. In the first case the tile is usually covered with layer of colored glass thanks to what receives characteristic gloss. The opaque tile, on the contrary, differs in rough surface.
Glossy tiles are suitable more for interior finish of the room where they will look more appropriate and interestingly. Opaque, on the contrary, it is good for facing of facade. So the house will not shine as if New Year tree.
On way of molding distinguish tile extruded or pressed. The first option is usually made of mix on consistence similar to the test and are formed by means of the device under the name extruder. It has special opening through which pass the prepared tiled weight therefore the product gets certain form. The second option - pressed - is usually made of special powder which is formed in tile under press of big pressure. On basis the tile is divided into dense or porous. Usually this indicator is determined by extent of absorption by water tile. The more water vapors it will absorb, the higher it porosity of the basis. It is possible to obtain information on this indicator on packing with tile. In form and the size mostly everything is standard - rectangle and square. But quite often for creation of futuristic designs use tile in the form of six - and octahedron and also such types as Mauritian and Provencal form of material. Concerning the sizes, it can be various options, depending on what sort of work you are going to see off. Color of tile usually depends on what and how many pigments have been added to material. So, for example, with their help it is easily possible to create tile with imitation under tree, skin and other popular textures.
Ceramic tile on way of production
Experts also divide tile also on way of production. So, for example, there is front tile of unary or double roasting, clinker, keramogranitny, kotto, etc. Unary roasting assumes production of this facing material pressing and drying of structure then glaze (or it is not put) is applied on it, and the tile burns. Double roasting happens according to the same scheme, only material goes to the furnace twice - before putting glaze and later. Porcelain tile is usually made of mix of several breeds of clays (usually take two), quartz, feldspar and coloring pigments. For a start all these components press under high pressure, then dry and burn. The size of the turned-out tiles can be the most various - from small to big. The option kotto is made on ancient technology. Red clay is used for creation of such tile. Usually for tile manufacture kotto the special form through which material also is passed undertakes. Then the tile is subject to obligatory roasting. During the work with material in such a way as a result the relief tile often turns out. The tile kotto possesses yellow, pink and brown coloring.
Allegedly raw stone will be suitable for finishing of facade kotto. It as much as possible reminds natural material - dark, uneven and same strong.
The brick tile meets in two types - glazed and is not present. It is made in the manner kotto, also by transmission through form with the subsequent roasting. Thanks to processing in the furnace on maximum temperatures durable and strong material turns out. Sometimes the brick tile is made by pressing.
Selection of front ceramic tile
For front facing works the tile with high frost resistance is specified in construction catalogs. On packing this indicator is specified as A I or B I.Krome of that, It is necessary to distinguish tile floor and wall. The second is intended for smaller loadings, than the first. And for finishing of walls you also do not need that that it is intended for floor. In case you think that floor will be stronger, it not so. It is calculated on mechanical influence, and concerning other factors a little in what differs from wall. The size and form of tile also matter. Especially if you want to make modular angle facing of the house. All it has to have rather equal form (even if it is about relief options), to be with the correct corners (it is guarantee of successful mounting). As for the price, it is quite difficult to call the cost of facing front tile budgetary. However it should be taken into account that such material is reliable and durable thanks to what there will be it long enough and will pay off very quickly.
