"SST is an old and cheaper technology and is meant for tiles placed in low traffic areas. In this process, the yet unfired tile body is given a liquid color screen-printing to create the design on the tile. It is called Soluble Salt Technology because soluble salt is used for giving the tile a particular pattern and color."

"Vitrified tiles are non-glazed tiles. Their hardness and polish is achieved by virtue of the pressing together of very hard materials."

What is Glazed Vitrified Tiles?

First of all why Glazed? Glazing, increase the tiles resistance towards water and stains because of the glaze, it has an attractive look, as a wide variety of colors and designs can be created with glaze, with matt finish. Now normal vitrified tile is one type of soluble salt. Vitrified tiles are not stain resistance and scratch resistance, to make the vitrified tiles strong, glazing is done on the surface.

What is defference between ceramic tile and vetrified tile?

Vitrified tile are stronger and much less pores. Meaning it is more stain resistant. Ceramic is glazed with only a thin layer of color. The remainder is red or white clay. If it chips you are left with clay showing. Where as vitrified and solid in color and material. Ceramic cannot be used outside where vitrified can. Vitrified though is far more costly then ceramic.

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.
