INTRODUCTION A ceramic is an inorganic, nonmetallic solid

material comprising metal, nonmetal or metalloid atoms primarily held in ionic and all are made by firing or burning, often including silicates and metal oxides.

The word "ceramic comes from the Greek word keramikos, "of pottery" or "for pottery", from  keramos, "potter's clay, tile, pottery".

TYPES OF CERAMIC

1.TERRACOTTA This is a type of earthenware, is a clay-

based unglazed or glazed ceramic, where the fired body is porous.

Uses include flower pots, water and waste water pipes, bricks, and surface embellishment in building construction.

2. STONEWARE Stoneware is a vitreous (glass) or semi-

vitreous ceramic made primarily from stoneware clay or non-refractory fire clay.

Stoneware is fired at high temperatures and it is non porous.

Stoneware is made up of 3 major component, which is clays, fluxes and fillers.

3. FIRECLAY 1.Fireclay is a type of clay that is able to

withstand intense heat. 2. It is suitable for making articles which

will not melt, nor even perceptibly soften when exposed to a high temperature.

Fireclay consists alumina and silica.

4. EARTHENWARE Earthenware is also called low fired clay because it is

normally matured at low temperature Finer than stoneware Porosity, high water absorbtionof 5-8% Must be glazed to prevent water absorbtion small cracks in glaze is permeable to water Less suitable for sanitary ware compared to vitreous

china Not translucent and are more easily to chipped, less

strong than stoneware There are two main types of glazed earthenware: 1 ) creamware2) tin-glazed

5. ROOFING

•Low water absorbtion •High slip resistant •This allows rainwater to flow downwards without leaking

between tiles •Durable chemical and frost resistance •protects you from water during the rain, heat in summer

and cold in winter •last for about 400 years without losing its beauty and

effectiveness •Come in traditional red, brown or antique which are

unglazed with a plain finish

6. PORCELAIN

•A special type of clay either white or grey, to which kaolin (a white firing stiff clay) and white China stone (finely decayed granite, washed and prepared as small white blocks) is added.

•Primary components -clays, feldspar or flint and silica

7.VITREOUS CHINA •Mixture of clay, feldspar and quartz which is

molded, glazed and "baked" at extremely high temperatures

•material which is strong, nonporous and impervious to absorption.

The word “vitreous” means “glass-like,” glaze makes ordinary ceramics look shiny and

reflective while maintaining & strengthening their durability.

The glaze itself is usually made of composite minerals and powdered glass.

APPLICATIONS

Great Variety of colour, format and surfaces are available.

Unlimited freedom of design.

INNOVATIONS IN CERAMIC TILES

Green pockets are ceramic interlock tiles which made from recycled materials, fuse nature with the interior space, improving both air quality and health, as well as a room’s aesthetics.

GREEN POCKETS

NAGOMI TILES The square

indentations on its surface can be filled with a diverse range of materials such as sintered glass or moss.

The ceramic tile is produced with a dent groove inside it to bed the OLED layer with 2 thin film polymer wires on the sides of the tiles to connect the electrical current on both sides to other ceramic tiles

It is then covered with high anti-abrasion transparent film epoxy on the cold to protect it.

ADVANTAGES

Durable •extremely hard. •last 10-20 years and longer. •handle extremes of heat and cold very well. Easy to clean •stain resistant. •hygienic, not absorb liquids, does not retain the residues and

smells of chemicals, foods or beverages. •simply vacuum and use damp mop. Design options •modern manufacturing techniques allow ceramic producers to

make materials which can be printed in numerous ways.

Cost -relatively inexpensive, cheaper than hard wood, carpet. -Once you absorb the initial cost of tile you don’t have to spend

money on it again for the life of the product if it is installed properly.

Can be installed in nearly any application -on floors, walls, in showers, backsplashes, ceilings -countertops, table tops, fireplaces, columns and more -water resistance, can be installed in wet environment. High scratch resistance Resistance to burns Resistance to fading -not fade due to sunlight and electrical light. Environmental friendly -100% natural materials.
