Different Types of Ceramics Based on Material
Ceramic in today's structures, in addition to its effect on quality and durability, also plays a significant role in its beauty and attractiveness. Ceramics are divided into different categories based on the application of their features, but in the conventional classification of those ceramics, they are divided into polished ceramics, nano ceramics, floor ceramics, large size ceramics and porcelain ceramics. Porcelain ceramic or Chinese ceramic consists of clay that has been refined and combined with very tiny sand and feldspar powder.
What Are the Advantages of Porcelain Ceramics?
- Less porosity due to exposure to high pressure and temperature
- Stain resistance
- Resistance to humidity and water absorption
- Abrasion resistance
- Wide variety of designs and colors
- Fireproofing
- Long Life
- Repair and renewal feature
- Low maintenance cost
Non-Porcelain Ceramic
This type of ceramic is made from unrefined clay, along with other materials, and the temperature and pressure that is placed in it to obtain the final product is lower than that of porcelain.
The difference in materials and production steps of non-porcelain ceramics makes it less resistant to water, moisture, pressure, abrasion and stains than porcelain ceramics. This makes the cost of buying and installing it lower.
What is nano ceramic?
There are ceramics that nano technology is used in their production process. The process of making them can be explained as follows: First, materials are decomposed at low levels to produce new materials, then nano structures are produced by combining these new materials, and finally the desired product is produced using nano structures. . High-quality ceramics produced by nanotechnology have features such as lightness, water repellency, self-cleaning, high strength and flexibility.
Nano ceramic Features
Strength
Nano ceramics consist of more layers than normal ceramics.
High Flexibility
Nano ceramics have improved this feature due to the existence of a special feature called the movement of marginal grains on each other and have acceptable flexibility.
Photocatalyst
Photocatalyst means self-cleaning.
Anti-Bacterial
By preventing this bond, nano technology makes nano ceramics anti-stain. These ceramics are easy to clean.
Nanopolish
The more slippery the ceramic surface, the higher the quality of the ceramic.
Glossy and Matte Floor Ceramic
Floor ceramics can be glossy or matte. The shiny handle causes light reflection, which in addition to beauty, gives the house a luxurious look. It is recommended to use this type of ceramic in low-square-meter houses, because light reflection makes the house look larger.
Glazed and Unglazed Floor Ceramics
Floor ceramics can be glazed or unglazed. Glazed ceramic stays in the furnace for one more step, which makes this type of ceramic more resistant to abrasion. In addition, glazed floor ceramics are more beautiful than unglazed and have different designs. Also, the lifespan of the glazed type is longer.
Floor Ceramic Types
Porcelain Floor Ceramic
Parquet Design Floor Ceramic
Stone Design Floor Ceramic
Mosaic Design Floor Ceramic
Travertine Tile
Granite Design Floor Ceramics
What is polished ceramic?
Polishing means burnishing and waxing.
The polished and waxed surface is shiny and reflective. With this explanation, we can say that it is a ceramic polish whose surface has been polished.
The surfaces of ceramics are dense, wavy and opaque after the initial stages of production. This category of ceramics has different density percentage based on their types.
The use of matte and so-called untreated ceramics is common in open spaces such as yards and gardens.
Different Types of Polished Ceramics
1.Super Polish
Polishing of ceramics with a grinding machine to a very small degree produces super polished ceramics. This type of ceramics has a high resistance to abrasion and is mostly used in large spaces.
2.Semi Polished
The ceramic coating on this model is a thin partial layer. This polish is not made homogeneously on the entire surface of the ceramic, so in this type of ceramic, some parts of the surface remain shiny and some parts remain matte.
3.Nano Polished
As mentioned before, after production, super polishes have open and small pores that make the ceramic more easily absorb moisture and pollution, which will cause the ceramic to become opaque and reduce its durability.
What is large size ceramic?
Large size ceramic or slab is one of the types of ceramics that the only difference is in the size of the product.
The largest size of ceramics is known as ceramic slabs.
The best materials are usually used to produce this category (because the difficulty of transportation and installation has made them vulnerable).
Porcelain ceramics use the best raw materials and clay for construction. The distinctive features of this type of ceramic are high abrasion resistance, very low moisture absorption, fire resistance, temperature shock resistance, and the unique beauty of porcelain ceramics.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of large size ceramics?
Considering that they belong to the ceramic family, ceramic slabs have the primary advantages of ceramics. For example, porcelain slab ceramics have all the advantages of porcelain ceramics.
To know the benefits of this ceramic, you can read the article What is Porcelain Ceramic and get to know this type of ceramic in general.
Ceramic slabs can be used in all parts of the building and have no restrictions.
