4 Popular Vitrified Tiles in 2023

Tiles are a work of art that beautifies every space. They are also an elegant alternative with thousands of options to the fine yet expensive marble and granite. One category of tile that is constantly gaining popularity is vitrified tiles.

Vitrified tiles in India are considered a visually appealing investment that will give a good return for years in terms of durability and longevity. So, let us explore the investment options with relevance to the different types of vitrified tiles.

Digital Glazed Vitrified Tiles

Made from a mixture of feldspar, clay, and silica, glazed vitrified tiles are made at very high temperatures, which results in a non-porous and rugged tile surface. These tiles are also famous for their glossy finish that adds to the beauty of your space.

Coming to digital glazed vitrified tile, they are manufactured using digital printing technology. A hydraulic pressing machine presses the single layer of tile at a high pressure to achieve durability. A quality inkjet printer is then used to print several designs on the tiles.

They are available in multiple finishes, including sugar, matte, rustic, and laptop, and are famous for outdoor and indoor applications of residential and commercial spaces.

Double-charged Vitrified Tiles

Also known as double-loaded or double-loading tiles, the double-charged vitrified tiles consist of two layers wherein the top layer with design mix accounts for around 30% of the tile thickness (around 3-4mm). A hydraulic press machine presses the mixture of raw material and color pigment at high pressure to make the design layer.

As a leading tile company in India, we make these tiles robust to withstand regular wear and tear and are popularly used in spaces with high foot traffic. In addition, they show excellent resistance to grime and dirt and can look the same for years.

Thanks to the robustness and patterns to choose from, they are an ideal flooring option for commercials like malls, airports, hospitals, restaurants, and hotels, and there is no way you cannot choose them for your residentials.

Full-body Vitrified Tiles

Justifying the name, the entire body of the tile is its design, and the surface color remains the same throughout. These tiles are made from a mixture of natural pigments and clays. Since they are unglazed, full-body vitrified tiles have excellent resistance to wear and tear.

Available in matte, rough, and glossy finish, these slip-resistance tiles from companies like SakarMarbo are popularly used in high-traffic outdoor commercial areas as they offer durability and longevity. You can also choose the anti-skid and stain full-body vitrified tiles for interior applications.

Soluble Salt Nano Tile

Manufactured using accessible technology, these tiles are based on ivory. The design on the tile results from liquid color screen printing, after which the material is left to be heated in a kiln.

The heat causes the material to soak the soluble salt, allowing the salt to paint the design. Finally, the tile is given a smooth polish followed by a nanomaterial coating. The nano-coating enhances the tiles' scratch and stain resistance properties. They are popularly used as floor tiles in spaces like drawing rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and other residential and commercial areas.
