There are many manufacturers and suppliers across the country who distribute and supply a variety of ceramic tiles in bulk. However, our company is one of the best ones providing ceramic tiles at wholesale. Our focus here is on ceramic tiles for sale as well as the distinctions existing between porcelain and ceramic.
What is difference between porcelain and ceramic?
Ceramic tiles and porcelain both belong to the large ceramic family. However, new industries are naming tiles that have more special properties and adding the name of ceramics and porcelain to it.
The water absorption rate of porcelain tiles is 0.5% or less. First, the temperature of the tile is measured.
It is then boiled for five hours and soaked in water for 24 hours.
Then they measure its weight again. If its weight increases by less than half a percent as a result of water absorption, then it is considered porcelain.
Porcelain tiles are often molded. Its pores are smaller than ceramic and are often repaired. It also has a lower kaolinite content.
Porcelain is obtained from quartz, mud and feldspar heated at a temperature of 1200 to 1400 degrees. If you think this is a feature of other ceramics, you should know that the porcelain water absorption rate is 0.5% or less.
To define porcelain, attention is paid to the amount of water absorption.
But the American Standards Organization (ANSI) considers porcelain to be a type of tile made of compressed, dense, impenetrable, non-porous, smooth mud with sharp edges.
However, in addition to its own standards, the organization also pays attention to the water absorption standards of the approved organization.
If all the features are the same, ceramic tile is cheaper than porcelain because it costs 60 to 70% of the cost of porcelain tile.
15% of top ceramics and porcelains are the same in terms of price. But other than that top 15%, their price difference is very high.
However, ceramics are always cheaper than porcelain. Production of porcelain from ceramics is more expensive and as a result, its purchase price is more expensive.
which countries are wholesale ceramic tiles consumer for sale
There are too many countries throughout the world consuming the ceramic tiles produced by other countries and continents.
As the ceramic tiles made in Iran are of high quality and low price, these products are exported to the Middle East areas and such countries as India and Pakistan.
As a result, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait and other countries imported Iranian porcelain and tiles are the major consumers of these products.
It should be said that the ceramic, tiles and porcelain of the producers other than Iran are also imported to the abovementioned countries as well.
