This is a tile with an
impressive sheen. The highly reflective surface adds depth and dimension
to a room. Because they are manufactured mainly in larger sizes, their
application is suited to larger floor areas. Durability compares with,
or even exceeds, the strength of natural granite. That’s why you will
find them in high traffic, upmarket commercial environments.
Polished porcelain is
available mostly in neutral tones. It adds a striking complement to more
modern, uncluttered interiors, sometimes interspersed with either matt
or shiny mosaics, an elegant border or an elaborately contrasting
rossone.
Having grown in
popularity, porcelain tile technology has seen many developments.
First-generation porcelain tiles offer a simpler face, with or without
repeated veins and textural movement. Second-generation tiles are
referred to as ‘double loaded’, offering many more colours with added
reflective depth. Third-generation tiles achieve an even livelier look,
with textural movement running diagonally across the face. A more recent
introduction is a
natural-looking, random vein.
The technology used in
each tile can dramatically influence the price. The uncompromising value
that CTM insists on, however, means you’re assured of the very finest
manufacturing processes and finished quality. |
