We are after porcelain tiles but have learnt there are different types of porcelain tiles to buy. The main two are full body porcelain tiles, and glazed porcelain tiles. Glazed Porcelain tiles have the porcelain baked on the top. We have found a tile we really like but it is glazed and we are unsure if they are durable or not and if they are good quality. That is, do they chip easily, etc, etc. Does anyone have any experience and opinion on if glazed porcelain tiles are any good, thanks in advance !

They can go as thin as 4 mm, but probably you would rather go for thicker 10 mm tiles for your flooring. But you should be also looking into insulated slab and hydronic heating if you are seriously planning tiles throughout the house in Victoria. They will be passing temperature directly from the slab. I’m in a similar position except I’m after sliding 3 stacking doors. I am on a second-story apartment of which the balcony would not adequately fit any bi-fold or… 5 16153 I don't know them all, the first 2 top of your list are best known. Rylock is a good company, Stegbar is for sale. 4 16236 Firstly the ableflex that has been installed needs (manufactures specification) a sealant cap over the top, preventing water draining down between the slab and the… 3 7791 |
