Can roofing tiles be installed directly on roofing frames?
A common misperception among consumers is that tile roofs are only suitable for warmer climates. A recent study showed that, because of their thermal mass and the air space formed between the tiles and the roof deck, tiles can lower heat flow into an attic by up to 70 percent. Roof tiles can be made to look like almost any conventional roof covering. roof tiles are widely used in the uk, considering we havea colder climate mnost of the year it is proof that tiles can be placed directly on to roofing frames

What is the difference between marbonite tiles and vitrified tiles?
Vitrified tiles are a type of unglazed floor tiles. Marbonite tiles are a subset of vitrified tiles. Marbonite tiles have a coating which reduces the porosity of the tiles. This coating reduces staining, allowing the tile to appear cleaner for a longer time.

What are the uses of vitrified tiles?
Scratch- and stain-resistant vitrified tiles are available. These tiles can be applied both indoors and outside. They can be used as wall tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, and residential flooring indoors. Outside, they are ideal for high traffic areas.
How do you make vitrified tiles?
Vitrified tiles, as the name may suggest, are made through the process of vitrification. This means that the tiles are baked at extremely high temperatures that cause the particles to melt and fuse into a vitreous surface.
What chemical is used in vitrified tiles?
Silica is the main chemical used in vitrified tiles, which gives them their durable and stain-resistant properties. Other chemicals like feldspar, clay, and quartz are also used in the manufacturing process to create a strong and glossy finish on vitrified tiles.
What are the uses of vitreous tiles?
Vitrified tiles are often used outdoors due to their water and frost resistance.
Why name vitrified tiles?
Vitrified tile is a thin slab of fired clay which has been made glasslike or glazed through heat and fusion, hence its name. (Vitrum is Latin for glass.) It is shiny, hard and translucent. It also enjoys very low porosity, and so it doesn't absorb water. This property makes it stain resistant and strong as well.
What is the difference between glazed floor tiles and polished floor tiles?

In simple terms what are fully vitrified tiles?
Vitrified tiles are made by combining 40% clay and 60% silica in a process called vitrification. The process of manufacture makes them extremely hard and non-porous - a great advantage over natural stones like marble which are porous and hence need a good deal of care. Vitrified tiles are virtually maintenance free and have very good abrasion resistance - which makes them very suitable for use in high traffic areas. And there is another huge advantage vitrified tiles have over most other floors. The designs on vitrified tiles are printed with soluble salts which are essentially penetrating pigments that penetrate to a depth of 2 to 3 mm below the surface of the tile ... and that means the design is present at depths of up to 25% of the tile's thickness! And the high hardness and abrasion resistance of vitrified tiles essentially means that the design is permanent for all practical purposes. In contrast, some floor polishes exist over the surface of the floor and have little abrasion resistance. But on the other hand, vitrified tiles are not currently available in a great variety of shades - at least not in as many shades as natural stone tiles are.
