What is Porcelain?
Porcelain tiles are one of the most popular tile materials in today's homes because they give your house or workplace a naturally sophisticated vibe. It is not only exceedingly robust, but it is also extremely durable and far less absorbent due to its impervious design. It comes namely in three common finishes: natural (unpolished/unglazed), matte semi-polished polished, and polished. It also come textured with slip resistance and many other patterns and design. Each variety of porcelain tile has its own set of qualities and tile cleaning requirements. let us take a closer look at some of the different types of tiles:
- Unpolished porcelain tiles provide floors with a more natural appearance. It may be used both indoors and outdoors and is ideal for areas that require a non-slip surface. Porcelain tiles are manufactured by squeezing silica, clay, and other ingredients tightly and then firing them at high temperatures. This results in a thick tile that is dense & impervious to absorption.
- Polished porcelain is made the same way as unpolished, but with a continued process of mechanical grinding using suitable abrasives bringing about a polished look.
- Textured porcelain tiles contain grooves or other patterns carved into them before they are baked. While these textures provide aesthetic appeal to the tiles, they can be difficult to clean.
Porcelain tiles are quite easy to clean if correct maintenance procedures are followed.
If the tiles are matte, semi-polished, or polished, Stone Doctor Australia advises using a microfiber mop (we offer a Basic Porcelain and Ceramic Floor Care Kit that includes a mop and KF Vitra-Clean) and a mild cleaning product (Lithofin KF Vitra-Clean). This will keep the surface looking pristine at all times
If the tiles are left in their original form, they may not require sealing. However, some porcelain tiles that have not been fully vitrified may need to be treated with a penetrating sealer (Lithofin KF Stain-Stop - 1 Litre) to create a fully impervious floor surface where the grout can get sealed as well.
If your natural porcelain has become worn & stained, kindly call Stone Doctor Australia right away. We will clean and restore your Porcelain surfaces, bringing them back to life and ensuring they remain in good condition.
