Benefits of Porcelain and Ceramic Floor Tiles and Wall Tiles
Ceramic materials are time-honoured, ancient products, which are used extensively in every internal and external aspect of our built environment.
Today, tiles can be purchased in an extensive variety of formats which vary in size from tiny mosaic tesserae to giant pieces of porcelain.
Tiles vary in thickness from 5 mm to 25 mm. Products are manufactured from mixes of clay, sand and a variety of natural substances which are fired at extreme temperatures which frequently exceed 1200 degrees Celsius. The blend of raw materials and the temperature they are fired at determine the nature of the tile, and its suitability for use in specific applications.
The firing process produces hard, rigid products which are fragile in certain circumstances. However, once tiles are correctly installed, they are capable of withstanding heavy loads, and substantial levels of foot traffic, without bending or deforming. At this stage they are highly resistant to abrasion and their resistance to impact is increased.
The final stage of the firing process ultimately determines the hardness of the product. The high temperature production process produces a surface finish which is easy to clean and maintain. Ceramic tiles are inert, they can be fully immersed in water without any change occurring. Significantly, the flames of a fire will not alter their structure.
Consequently, tile can be adhered to any internal or external, vertical or horizontal, wet or dry surface that has been correctly prepared.
To summarise, tiles are
Versatile They can be laid in numerous residential and commercial applications.
Hardwearing/Exceptional Life Cycle Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) studies have determined that correctly chosen and installed ceramic tiles materials can last as long as the building in which they are installed in.
Low Maintenance The cost of periodic maintenance of floor finishes over a protracted extended period of time is expensive and constantly increases. Tile requires minimal maintenance.
Easy Cleaning The vast majority of ceramic floor tile installations can be cleaned by sweeping away accumulated grit and light mopping or cleaning with a microfibre wipe.
Hygienic The compact body of the product prevents impregnation by dirt, dust mites or other potential contaminants.
Fire and Heat Resistant Tiles will not burn. The inert nature of the material determines that no toxins or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) will be released during a fire. Tiled surfaces delay the spread of fire, the surface cannot be burned or marked by a lit cigarette.
Chemical and Stain Resistance Most ceramic materials are highly resistant to staining and have a very high resistance to a wide range of chemicals. Appropriate specified ceramic surfaces can be laid in laboratories, hospitals, abattoirs, or virtually any commercial environment. Many all genuine porcelain products are practically impervious, and highly resistant to liquid impregnation and subsequent staining. Glazed ceramic products do not stain.
Colour Fast Even extreme levels of ultra violet and other forms of light (sunlight) have no effect on the colourfast nature of tiles either glazed or unglazed.
Energy Efficient Tiled surfaces adapt to the air temperature of a room, which minimises heating and cooling costs. Under tile heating systems can be installed during the laying process. Clay products absorb heat and naturally release it when the ambient temperature falls. Porcelain tiles are particularly effective heat banks.
Anti-bacterial Advanced ceramic products are produced with titanium dioxide fired into the surface of the tile producing hydrophilic properties which ensure that the tiles are extremely easy to clean. In addition an anti-bacterial effect is created, in the presence of any form of light the photocatalytic process produces O2 active oxygen which can decompose microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, moss, mould and viruses, even the antibacterial resistant ‘super bugs’ are destroyed, this process also breaks down the toxic emissions such as nitrous oxide from motor vehicles. These products can be most beneficial when used in hospitals, on building facades and in private homes bringing major health and environmental benefits.
Ceramic Tile: For a Safe and Healthy Home
Ceramic tile is not only beautiful; it’s also healthy for your home. It contains none of the chemicals that have been in the new associated with other flooring products, it’s long lasting, easy to clean, fire safe, and offers many slip resistant choices.
Made of Clay and Other Naturally Occurring Minerals: Free of Formaldehyde, VOCs, and PVC Ceramic tile does not contain the chemicals in other floor coverings that are receiving increased attention for their possible adverse health effects, such as formaldehyde, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
Zero VOCs Some VOCs emitted by non-ceramic building products can contribute to a wide variety of health problems and Sick Building Syndrome,” according to various health experts. Because ceramic tile is fired at extremely high temperatures, producing an inorganic material, it has zero VOCs.
Formaldehyde-Free Ceramic tile contains none of the formaldehyde found in some other floor coverings. Formaldehyde is a chemical long associated with respiratory disorders, and exposure is a particular concern for children and the elderly, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In fact, formaldehyde emissions for several wood based building and flooring products have been federally restricted since 2011 under the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act. As a fired product, ceramic tile is formaldehyde free and not subject to this or any other such restriction.
PVC Free Ceramic tile is also free from PVC, a resin used in other types of floor coverings, and regularly a subject of concern and discussion among health experts.
The easy solution for flooring? Use ceramic tile, which is free of VOCs, formaldehyde, and PVC.
Occupant Safety Of many flooring choices available, ceramic tile stands out when slip and fall safety is a consideration because of the thousands of floor tile choices that are slip resistant when wet. This is in stark contrast to floorings that, according to their manufacturers, must be kept dry in order to be slip resistant.
Additionally, ceramic tile is no flammable and does not produce smoke in a fire, meeting the flame spread and smoke development requirement of section 803 of the International Building Code for interior wall and ceiling materials.
Environment The UL certified Environmental Product Declaration for North American Made ceramic tile shows that North American Made ceramic tile has the lowest environmental impact across all impact categories, when compared to other floorings with generic EPDs evaluated under the same product category rules. With a 60 year service life this makes ceramic tile both cost effective and the best choice for reducing negative environmental impacts, resource use, and demolition waste, when compared to flooring products that need to be replaced more frequently.

Tile Types
Nerang Tiles boasts are vast array of different floor tiles and wall tiles in both ceramic and porcelain. The Nerang Tiles range of floor tiles and wall tiles are available in the following types:
Finishes
Honed Tiles
Honed tiles undergo the same polishing procedure as polished/glossy tiles, however the polishing sequence stops when the tiles reach a satin like finish. Honed tiles are smooth to the touch, offering a sheen appearance and are scratch resistant.
Matte Tiles
Matte finish tiles can come in either porcelain or ceramic bodies. Matte finish tiles generally have a granular and hard surface which provides a non-reflective matte finish to its surface. The no reflective surface assists designers to achieve a rustic, industrial or traditional appearance to the designed space. Matte finish tiles are suitable for all applications, including bathroom floors, wall and any other area of a residential home.
Polished Tiles
Polished or glossy tiles have a very shiny appearance on its surface. The surface is polished using diamond brushes which provide a smooth glass like surface coating that makes polished tiles ideal for floor or wall coverings. Polished tiles provide a reflective type appearance even though the surface actually refracts light. This makes polished tiles ideal for those seeking to brighten up their designed space. Polished tiles can be used for the kitchen, bathroom and most notably for kitchen splash-backs. This is because they area low maintenance and easy to clean.
Textured Tiles
Textured tiles and non slip tiles normally go hand in hand. Textured tiles have a rough surface and offer a great grip/slip resistance. This makes textured tiles ideal for wet areas such as bathrooms, showers and pool areas.
Lappato Tiles
Lapatto tiles are similar to polished tiles but the polishing sequence does not go deep enough to attain the reflective appearance of polished tiles. Lappato tiles have a mottled effect, meaning that the surface is slightly uneven in nature. Lapatto tiles are suitable for all application inside the home.
Rockface Tiles
Rockface tiles have an undulating surface which imitates that natural roughness of natural stone, rock or slate surfaces. These types of tiles provide higher slip resistance and texture. They are perfect for those seeking a natural aesthetic and are suitable for all application in the home.
