History of product :
Red body tiles are a type of ceramic tile made from clay, water, and minerals with high acid content. They are usually smaller than porcelain tiles and are known for their resistance and versatility. The color of the tile depends on the type of clay used. Red body tiles are often used in projects because they are cheaper and higher-end. Red body tiles differ from white body tiles in the clays and sands used in their manufacture, which leads to differences in their properties and characteristics. For example, porcelain tiles are stronger, less porous, and more resistant than red body tiles. However, porcelain tiles are more expensive, have a wider variety of finishes, and are less porous than red body tiles. Red body tiles are easier to cut than porcelain, and some red body tiles can be used on floors, but white body tiles can only be used on walls. The design and material of grey floors allowed for slightly larger joints, which makes the laying process easier.
Benefits of this product :
Production of red body tiles is less expensive than the production of white body tiles. That means that red body tiles are cheaper High mechanic resistance No much maintenance is needed Easily recognisable because of the colour Abrasion resistance and little flexibility resistance.
Where :
Red body tiles are a type of ceramic and the main raw material are made of is red clay. Red body tiles are also known in the market as ceramic grey (vitrified ceramic body). The red body tile, as we mentioned before, is made of clays and minerals which are combined and mixed with specific additives. This material has two layers that add high resistance and good quality to the tile. The first layer is where the previously fired clay lays, this is thick because it is the base material. After it is coated with ceramic glaze, usually vitreous glaze, that makes it more resistant and abrasion resistant.
When :
Red body tiles are often used in interiors, such as on indoor walls or floors with low foot traffic. They are cheaper than white body tiles and offer good technical performance. Red body tiles are made of clay with a high acid content, which gives them their characteristic color. They are usually smaller than white body tiles and have bevels or edges. Red body tiles do not withstand sudden changes in temperature.
Why :
Red body tiles are made from clay with a high acid content and are known for their versatility and resistance. They are usually smaller than porcelain tiles and are lighter in weight than white body tiles. Red body tiles are generally less expensive than white body or porcelain, and are easier to cut than porcelain. They are also often more hard-wearing than white body, but less so than porcelain.
