Technical Corner – Tiles
There is always a fallacy about homogeneous and porcelain tiles. Actually, homogeneous tile is a form of porcelain tile. Most people are unaware that they also
go by the name full-body porcelain tile. In contrast to glazed porcelain tiles, the colours in a homogeneous tile run uniformly throughout the tile body.
Homogeneous tiles and glazed porcelain tile are both widely used, because both of them have high density and are relatively strong, and can be made into
different surface layers, such as some stone patterns, rounded tiles, Dots, star patterns, etc. can help to enhance the anti-slip function, so they are often used on
floors or in places that require anti-slip, such as swimming pools, external, and wet markets.
Although traditional “homogeneous tiles” can be made with stone and wood grain surfaces, there are not many color choices because they have to adapt to the
color of the material itself. In addition, “homogeneous tiles” usually have small black spots, so the color matching is not as flexible as glazed porcelain tiles. Until
the emergence of porcelain tiles, “homogeneous tiles” had a new definition and made up for the lack of color
