Porcelain Tile / August 28, 2018 / Brousseau.
Unglazed tiles do not have a coated surface and full body porcelain tiles dont show wear anyhow due to the colour and design being throughout the entire tile. These types of tiles have a PEI rating of 0-5 meaning they can be used in any area. PEI classes are 0 through 5. The porcelain enamel institute scale is one that is used to help detect areas that tiles should be used in. The glazed tiles that have the overall 0 to 5 rating can be used anywhere from no foot traffic to industrial traffic making them ideal for use in your home.
There was a time in the past when porcelain was synonymous with decorative pieces such as vases chinaware figurines and the like. The misconception that porcelain was fragile or delicate was common. However the many uses of porcelain have grown through time and it continues to be a valuable material in the dental profession for dental prosthesis and dental veneers. Today porcelain is a major industrial material used in insulation because porcelain is highly resistant to heat resistant to abrasion and is non-porous. That is why porcelain makes excellent floor tiles for both residential and commercial use.
How to lean in... To lean in simply start the drill at an angle as soon as the drill bit has started to cut the tile slowly bring the drill into a vertical position. Ensure that sufficient pressure is being applied (tile dust should be evident in cooling water) and rotate slowly until you have cut the perfect hole. As you finish the hole you will notice that the tone of the drill will change. Using sticky drive pads. If you use a sticky drive pad it is unnecessary to use the leaning in method.
In choosing your tiles do not get confused with the terms non-porcelain and ceramic tiles because although technically porcelain is a kind of ceramic ware the term ceramic tile is usually referred to as non-porcelain. These tiles are hard and non-porous and absorb very minimal water as compared to ceramic tiles which are softer and have high water absorption. Porcelain tiles are highly durable because they can resist abrasions unlike ceramic tiles that are prone to chipping and scratches.
