abrasiveness and class tiles

tiles are currently used not only to teach the ground bathrooms, terraces and kitchen, but more often they can be found in the salons and bedrooms.

most appropriate choice of tiles may be somewhat hampered by the wide range of market trends in design as well as a multitude of materials used in the manufacture of ceramic floors. Editorial staff Podlogi.info decided to help all buyers of troubled wide range of color plates coverings and their countless properties.

Depending on where the floor tiles are installed, they must satisfy certain properties:

• plate to the interior, in which users move barefoot or in soft shoes must have a sufficient resistance to abrasion (except for glazed tiles and glazed) and resistance to staining;
• plate to the interior, where users are moving in the shoe must have a abrasion resistance (greater value applies foyers and lobbies) and resistance to staining;
• tiles for the bathroom must have a resistance to abrasion (except for public bathrooms, except for the bathroom inside), and stain resistance to chemicals commonly used in the household - the bottom of the trays should be used with non-slip tiles;
• tiles to the kitchen must have abrasion resistance, surface hardness on the Mohs scale 6-8, slip resistance (as indicated, but not necessary), must be resistant to staining and to chemicals used in household;
• tiles on terraces shall have an abrasion resistance, slip resistance and frost resistance;
• tiles on the external stairs shall have an abrasion resistance, slip resistance, frost resistance and The surface hardness of 7-8 on the Mohs scale;
• plates for industrial buildings must be characterized by improved mechanical characteristics, chemical resistance and resistance stain;
• pool tiles must have very low water absorption, resistance to salt used in swimming pools and resistance to the constant humidity, and slip resistance;
• plate ługoodporne acid and must possess a high resistance to acids and alkalis and elevated mechanical parameters.

Hence, it can be noted that the most important feature tile floors is their resistance to abrasion. This parameter determines the section of wall and floor tiles and is determined using the PEI abrasion class (a scale of 1 to 5):

CLASS L - plates of this class can be used only in areas where it is used indoor footwear (bathrooms, bedrooms), the plates are not are resistant to scratches. CLASS II
- tiles to the premises as in class l, are somewhat more resistant to scratches.
CLASS III - These tiles have been as good abrasion resistance, you can apply them in all living areas (not public), only the zone at the door input should be made of tiles of a higher class.
CLASS IV - tiles of this class can be used in all residential buildings, offices and public buildings (with the exception of particularly heavy traffic).
CLASS V - where these plates are no longer any restrictions as to location of use, are so resistant to abrasion that can be used both in residential as well as in offices and supermarkets.

The aforementioned hardness Mohs hardness determined in respect of to a particular mineral. Materials with hardness 2 can scratch with your fingernail, the material with a hardness of 5 - a sharp instrument. The hardest material on this scale is dziesięciostopniowej diamond.
