Explanations

Matt

Matte surface

Matt glaze tile.

Lappato

Lapped surface, or Lappato

The lappato technique is used to smooth the surface of the tile with fine irregular grinding. On the tiles, there is an effcient contrast of gloss and matte that highlights the top relief or printed structure. Unlike classical polishing, the surface is polished only at the thickness of several tenths of a millimeter, which makes it possible to use this technique primarily on glazed sintered tiles. With lapping, we encounter relief ceramic tiles where there is a contrast between the trapped top and the unpainted bottom, but also in finely printed micrograph surfaces, which can be reminiscent of satin natural stones after lapping.

Rectified

Rectified tiles

Rectified tiles are also known as dimensionally stable tiles. These are tiles that have been mechanically trimmed to a certain size after they have been fired so that their edges are 90°. Achieved uniform size, consistency and optimum precision give the tile a cleaner finish and fewer deviations between tiles.

Porcelain

Porcelain tiles

By pushing into the mold under high pressure remains in the ceramics minimum of air bubbles. It is then fired at high temperatures, making the final product hard, strong and abrasion resistant. At the same time, it is less absorbent. Located universal use in interior and exterior, on walls and floors. Sintered paving is especially suited to high-stressed areas such as tiles or building facades.

Frost resistance

Frost resistance

Frost resistance is determined by the degree of water absorption of the tile (ie it does not provide water to freeze it). For tiles for indoor use is not required frost resistance and moisture absorption is usually more than 10 %. In contrast, frost-resistant glazed tiles have an absorption of up to 3 %. For exterior are suitable sintered tiles with water absorption below 0.5 %.

Mosaic on the net

Mosaic

The mosaic consists of small-dimensional elements whose edge length does not usually exceed 100 mm. Their connection - gluing on a suitable substrate (e.g. fabric or bond "Joint-point" system), a mosaic is formed on the network. This makes it easier to work with it: a hobby or scissors is sufficient to divide.
Mosaic on the net is an excellent choice for tiling rounded places. Also suitable for wall and shower tiles. It may be glass, stone or ceramic.
