Difference between vitrified tile and ceramic tile?
Since the beginning of time, ceramic tiles have been the popular choice for counter tops, walls, floors and even in roofing in every home. Vitrified tiles on the other hand have the distinct facade of colored glass. The word "vitrify" literally refers to the phrase "to change into glass or anything that looks like glass by undergoing heat process.
Ceramic are created from clay. The clay body is topped with a ceramic glaze. On the other hand, vitrified tiles are made by fusing silica and clay. The mixture are then heated or placed under high - fiery temperatures, which would then result to a non - porous tile with glass - like texture. The vitrified type doesn't need additional glaze to be added on to it.
How often should you reseal travertine tile floors?
Depends on cleaning methods used after sealing. Strong cleaners may strip sealer or weaken them. You can test to see if the sealer is working by opening a bottle of water, fill the cap with some of the water and pour it on some of the areas you are concerned about. See if the water stays on top of the surface for 10 minutes. If so, it is good for a while. If it start seeping into the stone floor, then it time to clean and protect again. Sealer vary as far as how long they last also. Their are some that claims to seal for up 20 years.
If I have Tiles 450mm by 450mm x420 of them what will it be in square meterage?
When dealing with square units (square meters, square feet, square inches, etc.) it is usually a problem that involves calculating area. You calculate the area by multiplying length by width. Before we do that, however, since you wish the answer in meters (m) not millimeters (mm) we should convert each measurement into meters. Luckily, it is easy to convert millimeters into meters. There are 1,000 millimeters in a meter (remember that "milli-" is Latin for one thousand). So if the length and width of one tile is 450mm: 450mm/X = 1000mm/1m 450/1000 = X .45 = X (Each tile has a length of .45 meters and a width of .45 meters) Now use the formula to calculate area: Area of One Tile = Length * Width Area of One Tile = .45m * .45m Area of One Tile = .2025m2 (.2025 square meters) You wish to find the area of 420 tiles, so assuming no gaps between the tiles we can take the area of one tile and multiply it by the number of tiles. In this case: .2025m2 * 420 = 85.05 square meters.
