Ceramic tile - Natural and beautiful 
On the day of today's in demand all natural. Even the most skillful copies and reproductions on the backburner. Clay, stone, wood, sand, old as the hills, but still in demand and are irreplaceable. That is why ceramic tiles (clay) is also experiencing a renaissance.
in Germany believe that the tradition of making tiles around 2000 years. This knowledge is handed down from the Romans. There is another version, on which clay tile used in ancient Egypt 4000 years ago. Whatever it was, but today this material remains unsurpassed, and in technical and decorative qualities.
Ceramic, it is clay tile is strong, reliable and durable. It may well compete with any other porkytiyu (its lifetime - more than 100 years). At the same throughout the time of service material does not lose its external characteristics.
Manufacturing ceramic tiles consists of three stages: preparation of raw materials, molding and baking crock. Ceramic (pottery) clay mixed until a homogeneous mass and adds plasticizers to facilitate the process of forming. Tile manufactured tape and stamping methods. Under the first method of forming bands, which are then cut into individual tiles. The second method is pressing tiled tiles in metal molds. In both cases, semi-finished product is baked at a temperature of about 1000 ° C.
Ceramic tile has a high fire resistance, it is not damaging ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, extreme temperatures and other climatic factors. Ceramic tile insulates against noise, has low thermal conductivity, eliminates the accumulation of static electricity. For staining of ceramic tiles using pigmentokis iron contained in the clay. No special dyes for painting ceramic tiles do not add.
SCOPE Ceramic tile
Ceramic tile is used as decoration in cottage construction, as well as in high-rise.
The inclusion of ceramic tiles to increase the consumption cost of the construction site. Profitability index objects using ceramic tiles is 10 times higher than with asphalt. It is also important that the costs of operating the roof of ceramic tiles is minimal throughout the life.
CONSTRUCTION Ceramic tile 
Modern ceramic tile
produced three basic forms: flat, wavy (in the form of one or two waves) and grooved (also called "monk-nun »).
flat tiles laid with a large overlap, it is used for various types of stacking two or even three layers. Flat and undulating tiles can be slot, ie, have one or two edges of the special grooves. They provide a more reliable fastening tiles, and fear of falling water in the roof. But the scope of these types of tiles is limited to pitched roof. To create a curved surface suitable imbrex, although it can be used smooth (without grooves) of other forms.
Form ceramic tile was formed over the years. Since each element is designed to perform certain functions. For example, wave-shaped tiles reduced area of active wetting, longitudinal double folds and paired grooves on the front surface to protect against water penetration. Supporting ridges and spikes ensure transfer of its own weight, wind and snow loads on a crate and shingles, which lies below, and provide a reliable link of tile for a bar crates. Side overlap visually form a continuous series of tiles. A transverse ridges on the back of the increasing rigidity of the tile.
What concerns producers of ceramic tiles, the quality is a German ceramic tile brands Creaton and Meyer-Holsen, as well as the Polish tile Rben. This is due, primarily, to the fact that in Western Europe are the best deposits of clay, where no destructive impurities.
If you choose the ceramic tiles, then pay attention to:
- Natural brick-red ceramic tile gets through iron oxide, which is contained in the clay. Synthetic materials for its color does not apply at all, so different colors simply excluded.
- Ceramic tiles from different manufacturers may be different shades. On the color tile affects especially those used for clay.
- distinguish natural ceramic tiles can be on tap. Knocked on the material, you should hear a ringing and clear sound, but not jarring. And apparently it differs from the cement-sand bricks thick tiles, form the edge.
