  • Cladding in Architecture: Its Projection Towards New Technologies from a Retrospective View
    CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) CLADDING IN ARCHITECTURE: ITS PROJECTION TOWARDS NEW TECHNOLOGIES FROM A RETROSPECTIVE VIEW (1) M.C. Vacca, (2) J. Avellaneda (1) PhD student of Architecture – Architectural Buildings Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain (2) Doctor of Architecture – Architectural Buildings I Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain 1 CASTELLÓN (SPAIN) 1. PRESENTANTION This paper is based on the doctoral thesis, directed by Doctor Jaume Avellaneda Diaz-Grande and prepared for the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, by the architect María Celina Vacca entitled “The Cladding of Architectural Surfaces with Ceramic Tiles – a Comparative Study of the Evolution of Materials, Manufacturing Techniques and Installation in the Main Production Centres in Spain and Other Countries from the Industrial Revolution to the Present”. The primary reason for writing this thesis is to identify the role of ceramics in the history of Spanish architecture. Based on the Spanish-Arab tradition and passed on over the centuries, the industry started with the first earthenware tiles made in Malaga in the XIIIth century, then in Manises in the XVth century and in Catalonia in the XIXth century. It was in that century that Spain was recognized throughout Europe as the country with the longest historical tradition in this material. This is why this thesis focuses on studying ceramics in the period from the Industrial Revolution to the present day from the perspective of new trends and technological advances in the manufacture, installation,

T. Selli* Eczacibasi Building Products Co. VitrA Innovation Center Bozuyuk/Bilecik, Turkey A synthetic whitening composition is proposed as a whitening agent of porcelain tile body with a certain amount for the turning the body colour into whiteness. Active component used in the agent is zirconium silicate and this component is aected by the market speculation.This situation increases considerably the production costs. For these reasons an alternative whitening composition is required. The aim of the study is to prepare new whitening composition without zirconium silicate, with controlling crystalline phases in the porcelain stoneware tile, and to carry out characterization studies (such as XRD, SEM and EDX) and to correlate the whiteness value and the amount and type of crystalline phases in the porcelain tiles. DOI: 10.12693/APhysPolA.127.1202 PACS: 81.05.Je 1. Introduction the production in case there is any problem in shipping.

Due to the above reasons, in as the third in Europe and ninth in the world, when it the present study, the subject of the project is to develop comes to the production of coating materials (oor tiles, alternative raw material compositions having whitening wall tiles, porcelain tiles and decoration products), with eect, to replace zirconium silicate, and hence to lower a production capacity of about 400 million m2/year [1].

This is obvious because India is the 6th largest consumer of ceramic tiles and the 8th largest manufacturer of this product. This report entails an overview of the Indian ceramic industry with more emphasis on the export potential of ceramics, the challenges faced by small players at markets overseas and support of government in this regard. The report is result of exhaustive visits of the ceramic tiles and sanitary ware units of both Morbi and Himmatnagar. While making this report I also met various Associations of this industry. They gave me fare view of how they give a platform to the domestic manufacturers to stand tall against the stiff price war of China. I have given more emphasis to ceramic tiles because of the fact that they constitute a big chunk of the total exports. Apart from tiles Indian sanitary wares has also got fame across the borders. The kudos to furnish this report goes to various entrepreneurs of Gujarat, who have given me their precious time to accomplish the missing blocks of information in this work.

Two soft porcelain formulations: PSI (with Mayouom) and PSII (with Ntamuka) and one hard porcelain, PH (with both Mayouom and Ntamuka) were prepared. The maximum density and flexural resistance for these formulations were obtained at 1200 8C for PSI, 1225 8C for PSII and 1350 8C for PH. Their properties and values were, respectively, density (2.42, 2.58 and 2.59 g/cm3), water absorption (0.15, 0.15 and 0.02%), porosity (4.3, 5.3 and 4.2%) and flexural strength (148, 148 and 160 MPa). In addition to varying amounts of liquid phase, the soft porcelain formulations contained mullite and quartz crystals while the hard porcelains contained quartz and more intense mullite peaks. At 1250 8C PSI and PSII presented a self- glazing phenomenon which gave significant brightness and high aesthetic quality.

This glaze is easy to distinguish it is very fine, and has tiny even bubbles this can be seen using a loop. Porcelain tile is denser, heavier, and more impervious to water, and thus is a better choice than ceramic tile for outdoor locations, although outdoor use is recommended only in mild climates.

  • Distinguishing the Differences Between Ceramic and Porcelain Tile
    Distinguishing the Differences between Ceramic and Porcelain Tile By Carol Lamkins, CMKBD, CID Tile has been used over the centuries in churches, mosques, restaurants, shops, hospitals and stately homes. Fortunately today’s tile is not only for the wealthy. Installations cover walls, floors, roofs, pavements and furniture. The earliest ceramic tiles are credited to the Egyptian Empire in 4,000 BC as a product of earthenware pottery. The simplest form of ceramic art, tiles were made by Assyrians, Babylonians and the Islamic Empire. Medieval tilers protected the clay and made it stronger and waterproof by using lead glazes on the red-firing clay. The opportunities for sophisticated decorations evolved with tin glazing emerging from the Middle Eastern countries that would harden in the firing process making the surface transparent. Designs could be inlaid tile before glazing by stamping them into the clay, then filling these areas with slip (white liquid clay). Tiles could also be simply covered with slip before glazing, giving them a different color from tiles without a layer of slip. This art spread through Spain, Italy (Majorca, hence majolica tile*), France and Southern then Northern Netherlands with each country developing their own special characteristics. Holland was an important center for tiles in the 17 th and 18 th centuries, especially with the importing of the blue and white Chinese porcelain that became the rage. The Dutch potters tried to imitate the Chinese porcelain but the process for true porcelain was not yet available to them. Not to be discouraged, in the 17 th century the potters in the town of Delft created a superior blue earthenware product known as delftware.
