Bamboo flooring is becoming quite popular in some areas but it is not as easily available yet. You could check with local flooring companies to see if they have any.
dielectric
insulators
Manufacturers typically advise not to, because the direct heat from the glass cooktop can cause the top, porcelain layer of the granite ware to melt. I wouldn't risk it. +++ You won't melt porcelain at cooking temperatures - start at 1000ºC - but certainly risk cracking it.
No. Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material
Borosilicate glass
A new material - glass - is obtained.
Because some rays are reflected or absorbed by the material.
Th material can be very differernt: glass, porcelain, agate, steel, marble, etc.
An insulator. (plastic, glass, porcelain, wood, rubber...)
Porcelain and glass is fragile, it is important that when transported the pieces are protected from sharp jarring and from touching each other. The packing material separates and cushions the pieces.

Toilets are made of ceramics. Porcelain It's like a clay material that they fire and glaze with glass to get the finish.
any material that will not allow electricity to pass through it. rubber, plastic, some electrically conductive materials are metals, esp. gold, water, neon gases insulators, glass, paper :)
Porcelain:-)
It is not a correct name; glass is an amorphous solid.
Aluminous porcelain. Porcelain is a glass product with a crystalline internal structure. In the case of porcelain used in sinks and toilets, the crystalline inclusions are mostly aluminum oxide which makes the glass tough and difficult to break. It also makes the porcelain opaque. Aluminum oxide is also used in the formulation of the glass matrix as a stabilizer. In this form, the aluminum oxide does not affect the translucency of the glass, but, rather makes it stronger and reduces the solubility of the glass.
Most of the material is either made up of porcelain or gold. It is combined with other materials such as composite resin or glass ionomer cement to help hold it in place.
It does seem to shatter glass rather easily. That being said it may just be a matter of density. I am not a scientist by any means but think about it. If porcelain has a greater density than glass it is almost as if you are throwing a brick at the glass.
