   In the eyes of most people, pottery and porcelain are the same concept. In fact, this is not the case. Strictly speaking, pottery and porcelain are two things, and terracotta and ceramic tiles are the same. So what is the difference between terracotta and ceramic tiles?

  1. The significant difference between pottery and porcelain is shown in the water absorption rate. The water absorption rate of porcelain is less than 0.5%, and the water absorption rate of pottery is greater than 10%. The difference is of course the water absorption rate. The water absorption rate of ceramic tiles is much greater than that of porcelain tiles. The structure of ceramic tiles is rough and porous, the sound of percussion is low-key and boring, while the structure of porcelain tiles is compact and delicate, the appearance of gloss is good, there is a certain degree of transparency, and the percussion sound is loud and pleasant. In terms of hardness and strength, ceramic tiles are not as strong and wear-resistant as porcelain tiles.  2. In addition to the differences in characteristics, they also have differences in decoration. Which ceramic tiles are in daily life, and which are porcelain tiles? For example, polished tiles, ceramic mosaics, etc., and most cleaning sanitary wares are porcelain; antique tiles, crystal tiles, wear-resistant tiles, matt tiles, etc. are stoneware tiles, that is, half tiles, and the usual tiles are ceramic tiles. . Among the wall tiles, most of the wall tiles are attributed to ceramic tiles, while the floor tiles are attributed to porcelain tiles. This is also based on their respective characteristics to select the paving orientation. Although porcelain tiles are stronger and more delicate, but its water absorption rate is too small, the adhesion to the wall is not as strong as ceramic tiles. The lack of hardness of ceramic tiles makes it unsuitable for laying on the ground. 3. Porcelain tiles are delicate in texture, diverse in specifications, and in terms of manufacturing skills, whether it is color, picture, or gloss, they are all beautifully contrasted in planning. They have outstanding decorative effects and can build a variety of characteristics, such as European style, Chinese style, modern and fashionable. The decoration of ceramic tiles is more of a natural simplicity, and the outdoor ceramic tile are also widely used in home decoration because of the more and more colorful patterns.   4. To sum up, the difference between ceramic tiles and ceramic tiles lies in the water absorption rate. The water absorption rate is less than 0.5% for ceramic tiles, more than 10% for ceramic tiles, and semi-porcelain between the two. It is common to see all kinds of polished tiles, unglazed tiles, and most cleaning sanitary wares are porcelain, with a water absorption rate of ≤0.5%; antique tiles, small floor tiles (floor climbing), crystal tiles, wear-resistant tiles, matt tiles, etc. are stoneware High-quality bricks, namely semi-tiles, have a water absorption rate of 0.5%; tiles, pottery pipes, facing tiles, and finished glass products are usually ceramic, with a water absorption rate of>10%.
