    The document provides information on different types of tile materials, including cement tiles, ceramic tiles, and stamped concrete patterns. It also briefly discusses marble. Some key points: - Cement tiles are made of cement and sand through a hydraulic pressing process. They are pigmented and used primarily indoors. - Ceramic tiles are small, modular surfacing units made of clay that are fired at high temperatures, making them durable and water resistant. They come in many sizes, colors, and patterns. - Stamped concrete patterns involve pouring concrete and impressing it with patterns to resemble tiles, stone, or brick. It produces a natural, rustic look compared to manufactured tiles.

    CEMENT TILES

    made of cement & sand, locally manufactured by hydraulic pressed process.


    come in plain monochromed colors, usually in red & green & also in multi-colored
    design finished surfaces on top.
    most cement tiles are pigmented to give them an "earthy" look similar to terra-cotta
    tile.
    Cement tiles are used primarily indoors because they're not frost-proof, and cement
    tiles are usually finished with a top coat.
    installed on concrete slabs with mortar as binder, finished with the corresponding
    colored cement filler between joints, grind on top to have smooth surface finish & waxed to attain a
    glossy look when done.
    decorative cement tiles first appeared in France and Belgium at the end of the 19th
    century.
    Cement tiles are produced extensively in the United States and other countries. They
    are available in the following commercial sizes:

    25mm x 15cm x 15cm (1 x 6 x 6 inches)

    25mm x 20cm x 20cm (1 x 8 x 8 inches)

    25mm x 25cm x 25cm (1 x 10 x 10 inches)

    25mm x 30cm x 30cm (1 x 12 x 12 inches)

    CERAMIC TILES

    relatively small, modular surfacing units made of clay or other ceramic material.
    used for surfacing walls, floors & countertops.
    fired in a kiln at very high temperatures to attain a durable, tough & dense material
    that is water-resistant, difficult to stain & easy to clean & its colors generally do not fade.
    come in almost unlimited number of sizes, colors & patterns.

    CERAMIC TILE APPLICATION


    1. Thick-Set Process tile setting process in which ceramic tile is applied over a Portland cement
    mortar bed to 1 in. (19 to 38 mm) thick, which allows for accurate slopes & planes in the
    finished work.
    2. Thin-Bed Process tile setting process in which ceramic tile is bonded to a continuous, stable
    backing with a thin coat of dry-set mortar, latex-portland cement mortar, epoxy mortar or an organic
    adhesive, 1/32 to 1/8 in (0.8 to 3.2 mm) thick.
    TYPES OF CERAMIC TILES:
    1. Glazed Tiles has a face of ceramic material fused into the body of the tile & may have glossy,
    matte or crystalline finishes in a wide range of color; principally used for walls (full height or
    wainscoat) & also as table or counter top.

    2. Unglazed Tiles hard & dense & derive their color from the body of the material, colors tend to be
    muted; principally used for floors due to its unslippery surface.
    3. Porcelain Tiles have bright colors; normally used for walls due to its fine, smooth, dense & glasslike finish.
    4. Natural Clay Tiles have more muted colors; usually used for floors, sometimes on walls too,
    because of its dense body with distinctive slightly textured appearance.
    5. Quarry Tiles unglazed floor tiles having a natural clay body; also called promenade tiles; made
    through plastic extraction process from natural clay or shale; impervious to dirt, moisture & stairs
    resistant to freezing & abrasion.
    6. Ceramic Mosaic Tiles small ceramic tile having a porcelain or natural clay body, glazed for
    surfacing walls or unglazed for use on both floors & walls & usually face- or back-mounted on a
    30cm x 30cm paper or netting as binder to hold tiny pieces for easy handling, laying & setting;
    resistant to freezing & abrasion.
    7. Faience Mosaic Tiles special tiles less than 15 sq. cm in facial form.
    8. Paver Tiles unglazed ceramic floor tile similar in composition to ceramic mosaic tile but thicker &
    larger in surface area; weather-proof & can be used on floors subject to heavy duty use.
    9. Other special purpose ceramic tiles are:
    Non-slip tiles
    Ship or gully tiles
    Frost proof tiles
    Conducive tiles

    STAMPED CONCRETE PATTERNS (SCP)

    Stamped concrete pattern is concrete made to look like tile, stone, brick or
    cobblestone. It is poured in place, colored, impressed with patterns to produce exquisite masonry effects.
    Its variation in geometry & texture tend to impart a magnificently natural, rustic look,
    as compared to geometrically perfect factory products.
    The impressions can be grouted or ungrouted; grouted can be colored; was sealers can
    polish the surface.
    Preferably used for exterior terraces, courtyards, patio & driveways; can also be used
    for interiors.

    MARBLE

    Marble is a metamorphic rock of crystallized limestone, consisting mainly of calcite &


    dolomite, capable of taking a high polish that is commercially made available as a dimension stone.
