Ceramic Selection and Ceramic Values
Ceramic is one of the most hygienic and durable materials that can be used for covering living spaces.
However, the ceramic qualities must be suitable for the spaces you will choose.
In this article, we will talk about which ceramics should be preferred according to the fields.
Choosing Ceramic for Bathrooms and Wet Areas
You should take care to choose materials that are suitable for the size and shape of your bathroom.
There is a high risk of slipping in bathrooms, so the ceramic to be chosen should be a type of ceramic that is safe against slipping.
You can lay the floor tile on the wall, but the wall tile cannot be laid on the floor. Because wall tile wear values are low.
Choosing Ceramics for Terraces and Balconies
It is important that the water absorption value of the coating materials that we will use in our outdoor spaces such as balconies and terraces is low. We should prefer glazed ceramic at R9-10 values.
Choosing Ceramics for Cafes / Restaurants
Cafes and restaurants are areas with heavy foot traffic, and ceramic types with abrasion-resistant values should be preferred when choosing ceramics in these areas. Therefore, porcelain tiles with high wear value should be preferred. Shiny surface tiles should not be preferred because of their low scratch resistance. Floor tile ceramics produced for interior spaces are not suitable for such spaces.
Shopping Centers / Stores
Such areas are very suitable areas for the use of ceramics. Such spaces are areas where circulation is intense and open to heavy foot traffic. The fact that ceramic does not hold dirt, stains and rust provides a great advantage in terms of hygiene. Porcelain tiles should definitely be used in such places.
Choosing Ceramics for Industrial Buildings
The floors of industrial structures such as factories are exposed to abrasive materials and vehicles. Color body porcelain tiles with very high resistance to abrasion should be used.
