Qua Canyon Grigia Glossy Rectified Floor and Wall Tile - 60x120

Ceramic

Ceramic is made from completely natural raw materials, such as clay, kaolin, quartz, and feldspar, which are obtained by crushing earth and rocks, mixed in specific proportions, and fired in high-temperature kilns. After mixing, these materials are pressed or compacted until they form a paste. They are then fired in preheated kilns at temperatures of at least 1100 degrees. Since they are made using completely natural materials, they pose no danger to human health.

Advantages of Ceramics

• They are long-lasting materials.
• They are unaffected by temperature differences and show high resistance to heat.
• They are highly resistant to chemicals and surface cleaners.
• Thanks to their resistance to water and moisture, they are the most preferred coating products for wet areas.
• Ceramics require less maintenance than other coating materials and are easy to clean.
• Because they are produced by firing at very high temperatures, they are hard and durable.
• They come in many models suitable for any design; patterned or plain, glossy or matte.
• They do not harm nature or human health.

Things to Consider When Buying Ceramic

• Ceramics are available in three different finishes: glossy, semi-glossy, and matte. You should choose a product with a texture that suits your decoration style.
• Anti-slip ceramics designed to prevent slipping should be preferred in wet areas such as terraces, balconies, and poolside areas. It should also be remembered that glossy ceramics are more slippery than matte ceramics.
• The dimensions of the ceramic you will purchase should be determined according to the size of the area to be covered; large-sized tiles should not be used in small areas.
• You should adhere the ceramics with ceramic adhesive suitable for the area where you will use them. This will extend the lifespan of your ceramic.
• If you want to install your ceramics without grout lines, you should make sure that the ceramic you choose has rectified edges.
• The colors of the grout you choose for your ceramics must match your ceramics. This will create a more cohesive look.
• Do not forget to order approximately 10% extra to account for waste. This is because the ceramic dimensions will not fit perfectly during installation, especially in corners, and cut pieces will be used.
• When choosing the ceramic, the design and aesthetic appearance should appeal to you and be selected according to your taste and decoration style. This way, you can feel happy with every use.
• Ceramic usage areas include homes, terraces, bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, balconies, restaurants, schools, cafes, stores, hospitals, workplaces, warehouses, and many other different places.

Rectified and Non-Rectified Ceramic

The word rectified originates from French and means "correction." Rectification refers to the removal of curved surfaces from the edges of ceramics. In ceramic coverings, noticeable grout gaps can occur; the grout edges of rectified ceramics are re-cut. This makes the edge joints of rectified ceramics almost imperceptible. In non-rectified ceramics, the corner joints are defined, and the grout gaps are generally wider than 2 mm.

Floor Ceramics

Floor ceramics are products with higher strength than wall ceramics. On our website, you can find different ceramic models suitable for every decoration style in various sizes, finishes, colors, and surfaces. We have different ceramics available on our website according to their usage area. Ceramics designated as floor ceramics can only be used on the floor; products referred to as "floor-wall" ceramics can be used on both the floor and the wall.
