Glazed Porcelain

Glazed porcelain refers to a type of porcelain ceramic that has a glaze applied to its surface. Porcelain itself is a type of ceramic material made by heating materials like clay and other minerals to high temperatures. It is known for its hardness, durability, and low water absorption. When a glaze is applied to porcelain, it adds an additional layer to the surface, which can serve both practical and aesthetic purposes.

It's important to note that while glazed porcelain has these advantages, the glaze can be susceptible to chipping in high-impact areas. Additionally, the choice between glazed and unglazed porcelain may depend on the specific requirements of the intended application. Glazed porcelain is commonly used for flooring, wall tiles, and various decorative elements in residential and commercial spaces.

1. Polished: This surface has a smooth, reflective finish, giving the tiles a shiny appearance. Polished porcelain tiles are often used in areas where a sophisticated and upscale look is desired. However, they can be slippery when wet, so they may not be suitable for certain applications like bathroom floors.

2. Matte: Matte finish provides a non-reflective, subtle appearance. These tiles are less slippery than polished tiles, making them a good choice for flooring, especially in areas where slip resistance is important, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

3. Glossy: These tiles have a shiny finish, but not as reflective as polished tiles. Glossy finishes can add a touch of elegance and are often used in wall applications such as backsplashes.
