Where can one learn how to install ceramic tile?
If you are installing on a concrete slab, then make a sand bed with sand & cement mixed to a praportion of 1:25. Level the bed. Then make cement slurry by mixing water. Pour the slurry on the bed for about an area slightly bigger than tile. Place the water soaked tile & give light blows by a wooden piece. then repeat the same procedure for next tile. Next day clean the joints & remove all excess cement slurry which has come out. Rake the joints. Then fill the joints by slurry of white cement. After a drying period of 2 hours, remove the excess white cement slurry. Pour some water for three days to keep the joints wet. If you want to install on prelaid flooring tile, then first grind the existing tile surface to make it rough. Then make cement slurry with polymer additive. Then paste the tiles on this rough surface by applying 3 to 4mm of layer of slurry. Sanjay - nikiasso@yahoo.com

Is porcelain a ceramic?
CERAMICS The word ceramic is derived from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramos). The term covers inorganic non-metallic materials which are formed by the action of heat. Up until the 1950s or so, the most important of these were the traditional clays, made into pottery, bricks, tiles and the like, along with cements and glass. Clay-based ceramics are described in the article on pottery. A composite material of ceramic and metal is known as cermet. The word ceramic can be an adjective, and can also be used as a noun to refer to a ceramic material, or a product of ceramic manufacture. Ceramics may also be used as a singular noun referring to the art of making things out of ceramic materials. The technology of manufacturing and usage of ceramic materials is part of the field of ceramic engineering. China The Chinese perfected porcelain by using kaolin, a white clay, mixing it with china stone and firing it at high temperatures. That was in the 10th century and it took another 800 years before true porcelain was developed in Europe. China, in this context, originally refered to a ceramic dinnerware coming out of the country of China which was particularly fine and exceptionally white. It was a standard of quality unknown elsewhere at the time. To answer the question then, China is a ceramic product but of a very fine quality and it should more accurately be called porcelain.

What is a 'dry polymer'?
A dry polymer is one that is not in solution. they are used where moisture would create an issue. Sometimes dry polymer powder is added to cement so that when the cement is hydrated to make concrete, the dry polymer is hydrated at the same time. If a wet polymer, or polymer solution were used, it would react with the cement and make it unusable.
