What are vitrified tiles?

Vitrified tiles are a type of ceramic tile and possess less porosity. Vitrified tiles are mostly used as an alternative to marble and granite flooring. They come in beautiful and stylish designs. These are mostly used as floor tiles in living rooms, bedrooms, and balconies. In the market, there are four types of vitrified tiles they are:

1. Soluble salt
2. Double charge
3. Full body
4. Glazed vitrified tiles (GVT)

Vitrified tiles are ideal for high footfall or moisture conditions and are available in different colours and styles, so many house owners choose them.

Let us know different types of vitrified tiles and their prices:

1. Soluble salt

Soluble salt vitrified tiles are prepared and polished with screen printing technology. The problem with these tiles is the colour or design of these tiles does not last long, so avoid them if you are planning for long-term use.

2. Double charge

Double-charged vitrified tiles are formed by pressing print patterns in 2 layers. This makes the tile a bit thicker design layer than other tiles. The design pattern should not exceed 4mm. In this method, we can print simple designs only. They are available in different sizes and designs.

Price: starts from 22/ sq ft.

3. Full body

Full-body vitrified tiles have uniform colour throughout their surface. These are useful in fixing the tiles near junctions. They are suitable for high footfall areas and commercial places like metro stations, railway stations and pavements. Full body tiles are strong and stylish, so they fit any atmosphere.

4. Glazed vitrified tiles (GVT)

Glazed vitrified tiles are also called digital vitrified tiles. Their surface design is aesthetic, and the texture is glazing. They are available in rustic, matty and wooden finishes. The best part is that with a glazed surface, we can print any design on them and customise them according to our choice. GVT and full-body vitrified tiles look alike but differ in their technical aspects, like quality and strength, so ask for genuine GVT tiles.
