TILE STANDARDS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION OF CERAMIC TILES DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GLAZED TILES AND PORCELAIN TILES DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PORCELAIN & HOMOGENEOUS TILES SOME COMMON COMPLAINTS CARE & MAINTENANCE OF CERAMIC TILES
3 WHAT ARE CERAMIC TILES?
4 WHAT ARE CERAMIC TILES? Ceramic tiles are manufactured from a mixture of natural raw materials, e.g., clays, feldspars, silica sand, etc, that are pressed into shape and are fired at high temperatures (up to 1220 C) Ceramic tiles are available in a wide selection of colours, sizes, textures and designs. Ceramic tiles are:- 1. DURABLE 2. EASY TO MAINTAIN 3. FIRE RESISTANT 4. IMPERVIOUS & STAIN RESISTANT 5. COLOURFAST 6. SLIP RESISTANT 7. BEAUTIFUL AND VERSATILE
5 Classification and Types of Ceramic Tiles
6 CLASSIFICATION OF CERAMIC TILES Currently, almost all ceramic tiles are produced by DRY PRESSING. According to the ceramic tile standard, ISO 13006, ceramic tiles are classified into 5 different groups by its WATER ABSORPTION. W.A. < 3% W.A. 3% to 6% W.A. 6% to 10% W.A. > 10% Group BIa DRY- WA 0.5% PRESSED (Annex G) Group BIIa Group BIIb Group BIII CERAMIC TILES Group BIb 0.5% < WA 3% (Annex J) (Annex K) (Annex L) (Annex H)

9 Properties of Ceramic Tiles
10 SIZING OF CERAMIC TILES Q: WHY SIZE OF CERAMIC TILES HAVE TOLERANCE? All ceramic products are fired to high temperatures. During the firing process, there is a certain amount of shrinkage of the tiles. This causes the dimensions of the tiles to be slightly different from each other. However, tiles are sorted and packed according to its respective sub sizes, e.g. S, M, or L. However, some tiles are trimmed (rectified) to size, e.g. polished porcelain.
11 SHADING OF CERAMIC TILES Q: WHY CERAMIC TILES HAVE SLIGHT SHADING VARIATION? The firing process and characteristics of the natural raw materials will produce tiles with slight variation in shade, within a batch or in different batch. Different shades are packed separately under different codes, e.g., Shade 1, 2, 3, etc Random shade on tiles enhance its natural beauty.

13 RANDOM SHADE IN CERAMIC TILES (MARBLE DESIGNS)
14 SURFACE QUALITY OF CERAMIC TILE Q: HOW TO INSPECT/CHECK SURFACE QUALITY OF A CERAMIC TILE? ISO GUIDELINE TO INSPECT TILES:- A tile sample should be inspected/viewed at a distance of 1 meter (approximately one arm length) The tile sample shall be viewed with naked eye or spectacles in an even light intensity of 300 lux at the surface of the tiles. Ceramic tiles should not be viewed at close range or by varying the angle of the tile or using a magnifying glass!
15 CHOOSING THE RIGHT CERAMIC TILE Q: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT TILE? When choosing ceramic tiles, should not only consider aesthetic aspects but must consider technical and physical characteristics of the tile. For heavy traffic areas, like shopping mall, must select glazed tiles with high PEI (Class 4 or 5). PEI value is a rating given to glazed tiles to indicated its abrasive resistance.
16 P.E.I. CLASSIFICATION FOR GLAZED TILES LOW TRAFFIC VOLUME HIGH TRAFFIC VOLUME Class 0 (100 rev) 1 (150 rev.) 2 (600 rev.) 3 (750, 1500 rev.) 4 (2100, 6000, rev.) 5 (> rev. and pass stain resistance test Suitable for Not recommended for use on floor. Private homes that are walked on with soft soled footwear or bare feet without abrasive dirt. (e.g. Bathroom and Bedroom) General residential areas where soft soled or normal footwear is worn and with an occasional small amount of abrasive dirt. (e.g. rooms in living areas except entrance halls and other areas subjected to considerable traffic.) All residential and light commercial areas where normal footwear is worn and with a small amount of abrasive dirt. (e.g. residential halls, kitchens, corridors, balconies and terraces) Any areas with regular traffic and some abrasive dirt where conditions are more severe than Class 3. (e.g. entrances, commercial kitchens, hotel, work rooms restaurants exhibition and show rooms) In severe pedestrian traffic over sustained period with some abrasive dirt. (e.g. public areas such as shopping centers, airport concourse, hotel foyers, public walkways and industrial applications ) Based on ISO ISO Part 7
17 Abrasive Resistance Test Materials used Alumina powder Steel ball bearings

19 INSTALLING CERAMIC TILE Q: WHY SHOULD TILES BE INSTALLED WITH A JOINT SPACING? MS 1294: Part 3 - Code Of Practice For The Design And Installation Of Ceramic Floor And Mosaics, states that the recommended joint width between tiles shall be not less than 3mm wide. Tile installation not carried out in accordance to the recommended code of practice may encounter possible situations that are detrimental to the installation and the tiles. Common tiling failure that could arise from installing tiles without spacing is DE-BONDING.

31 Porcelain Tiles
32 PORCELAIN TILES are fired to extreme temperatures (1220 C) therefore are very strong and durable. Have good compaction with a water absorption of below 0.5%. Have high breaking strength (> 1300N) and are highly wear resistant (Volume loss of < 175 mm³). Therefore, Porcelain bodies are much harder and more durable than glazes. Excellent for installation in high traffic areas.
33 COMPARISON BETWEEN GLAZE AND PORCELAIN TILES Glazed Tiles Porcelain Tiles WATER ABSORPTION 3 TO 10% BODY IS NOT SO DENSE AND HAVE LOWER STRENGTH NOT FROST RESISTANCE LOWER FIRED SHRINKAGE LOWER SIZING DEVIATIONS WATER ABSORPTION < 0.5% BODY IS DENSE AND COMPACT AND HAVE GOOD STRENGTH FROST RESISTANCE HIGHER FIRED SHRINKAGE BIGGER SIZE DEVIATIONS (However, this does not apply if the tiles are rectified) GLAZED TILES ARE MORE EASY TO CLEAN UNGLAZED/POLISHED SURFACE REQUIRES MORE CARE & MAINTENANCE
34 HOMOGENEOUS or PORCELAIN?
35 PORCELAIN TILES Many names used to describe Porcelain tiles this has caused a lot of confusion in the market place. Popular names include:- - HOMOGENEOUS tiles, - IMPERVIOUS tiles, - FULLY VITRIFIED tiles, - FINE PORCELLANATO tiles, - GRANITO tiles, - FULL BODY tiles Homogeneous tile is a product of porcelain tile where the tile have the same colour throughout the whole piece of tile. Porcelain tiles are also available with a glaze, therefore, the name, homogeneous is not suitable to be used to describe the product. Therefore, it is technically correct to use, PORCELAIN to describe tiles with a water absorption of below 0.5%.
36 Polished Porcelain Tiles by Double Loading Top Layer Bottom Layer Cross-section picture of two pieces of tile produced by double loading showing two distinct body layers. Note: Coloured body DO NOT improve the physical property of the tiles in any way. It only improves its aesthetic appearance,
37 Q: IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATON IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS? Certainly Yes. Porcelain tiles has a water absorption of less than 0.5%. The body is hard and durable enough for use in all high traffic areas.

40 TYPES OF PORCELAIN TILES 1. SALT & PEPPER - Homogenous type porcelain tile with multi-coloured speckles. 2. GLAZED PORCELAIN - Mainly rustic designs where the glazes have high PEI ratings, resistant to abrasion and slip resistance. - Body may not be coloured but just as durable and strong. 3. POLISHED PORCELAIN - The top surface of the tiles are removed by the polishing stones producing a surface with a mirror-like finish identical to natural marble or granite. - The polishing process opens up the pore in the porcelain body. - This make the product more prone to staining.

58 Care & Maintenance of Ceramic Tiles
59 CARE & MAINTENANCE i. Cleaning agents Avoid using acid based cleaners that are corrosive and can attack tile surface and cement based grout. ii. Cleaning method Avoid using highly abrasive materials such as metal scouring pads as these will cause scratches on the glaze surface. iii. Abrasive dirt Ensure floor is kept as clean as possible. Avoid abrasive dirt, like sand particles which can cause damage to the tile surface. iv. Precaution and protection Care should be taken to prevent heavy objects from dropping on them, e.g. protect the tiled area with mats. - CLEAN ALL SPILLS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
