Porcelain Tile / August 29, 2018 / Brousseau
Identifying the Size of Hole to be Drilled. The first step is to correctly identify the size of hole to be drilled. This is very important as the diameter of the hole to be cut dictates the method that you will use to drill into the tile. The majority of holes that are 10mm and under in diameter will be drilled with the tile already fixed to the wall. Conversely the majority of holes over 10mm in diameter will be drilled into the tile before the tile has been fixed. When drilling holes that are 13mm or larger in diameter make sure that the tile to be drilled is placed in a tray that will collect the waste water that is produced.
The installation of porcelain tile is becoming an increasingly regular task for the modern day tiler. Customers desire the look of natural stone but require the extra durability that porcelain tiles offer. With porcelain tiles being non-porous (impervious to water) and virtually maintenance free they are the perfect solution for the progressively popular wet-room styled bathrooms. Your ceramic white tile will look lovely at first but it wont be long before day-to-day dirt gets ingrained and its permanently dingy.
Porcelain tile and ceramic tile both start off the same being composed of more or less the same materials such as clay and quartz. After formation they are both fired to high temperatures. What spells out the difference between the ceramic white tile and porcelain tile is that the latter uses a more highly refined and purified clay making the porcelain tile denser than the other tile. This is an extremely important difference since being more dense means that porcelain tile absorbs far less moisture making it both durable and stain resistant.
