Understand how tile is made and the different types of tile products available and the advantages they provide over other surface finishes 2.) Avoid problems with tile and stone installations by keeping in mind proper design considerations to select the right products for each application 3.) Know how to specify the correct materials and installation methods and products based on the building use, traffic, etc... 4.) Know how to utilize resources available for specification information and current standards 5 DESIGNING WITH TILE DESIGNING WITH CERAMIC TILE 6 DESIGNING WITH TILE OVERVIEW • Overview – 2 billion square feet a year in the US • Evolution – technology in manufacturing • Staffordshire/ Trenton / Modena / Valencia • USA – The Market 60% Floor /40% Wall • Consumers use floor tiles on the wall unnecessarily • Consumption per capita: 6 sq ft per head in the US - Spain 36 / Italy 26 / Canada 11 - Growth Potential in The US 7 DESIGNING WITH TILE CERAMIC TILE - WHAT IS IT? Definition: Thin and very resistant flat slabs made from various compositions of clays and other inorganic raw materials. Composition: Clay + Water + Fire (100% Natural Material) 8 DESIGNING WITH TILE TILE BODY TYPES Homogenous Through Body Porcelain Stoneware Earthen Ware Gres Body with Glaze 9 DESIGNING WITH TILE MANUFACTURING PROCESS (STEP 1) 10 DESIGNING WITH TILE MANUFACTURING PROCESS (STEP 2) RAW MATERIALS • Ceramic tiles are made from natural materials, Ball Clay, Silica Sand, Talc, Calcium Carbonate, and Feldspar are some of the materials that might be mixed together to make ceramic and porcelain tiles. The top class manufactures search the world to bring in only the best raw materials for their products • Higher quality raw materials will assure a much better final product 11 DESIGNING WITH TILE FINE PORCELAIN STONEWARE CONSTITUENTS A Porcelain Tile will typically contain: • 40 to 50% Feldspar • 30 to 40% White Clays • 0 to 15% Quartz • 0 to 15% Kaolin and other fusible materials 12 DESIGNING WITH TILE MANUFACTURING PROCESS (STEP 3) GRINDING SPRAY-DRYING 13 DESIGNING WITH TILE MANUFACTURING PROCESS (STEP 4) PRESSING 14 DESIGNING WITH TILE MANUFACTURING PROCESS (STEP 5) DECORATION 15 DESIGNING WITH TILE MANUFACTURING PROCESS (STEP 6) FIRING RECTIFYING CLASSIFICATION, PACKAGING AND EXPEDITION 16 DESIGNING WITH TILE CERAMIC TILE CLASSIFICATION (1) WATER ABSORPTION 17 DESIGNING WITH TILE CERAMIC TILE CLASSIFICATION (2) Tiles are classified based on their water absorption rate • ISO 10545-3 describes the standard test method for determining the percentage of water absorbed by the body of a ceramic tile, results are measured by the weight of water absorbed to the weight of dry tile • ASTM C-373 (equivalent ASTM method) 18 DESIGNING WITH TILE CERAMIC TILE CLASSIFICATION (3) WATER ABSORPTION RATES • Non-vitreous (Low dense) WALL TILES - Tile with water absorption of more than 7.0 % - Suitable for interior WALL USE only - Lightweight and porous. Adheres very well to vertical surfaces • Vitreous (High Dense) FLOOR and WALL - Tile with water absorption of more than 0.5 percent, but not more than 3.0 percent. - Suitable for interior or exterior use • Impervious (Extremely dense) PORCELAIN - Tile with water absorption of 0.5 % or less. This is where porcelain tile is categorized - Interior and exterior use 19 DESIGNING WITH TILE CERAMIC TILE CLASSIFICATION (4) PORCELAIN VS. CERAMIC • Is there a difference between porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles? Porcelain tiles are also ceramic tiles. Rather, the question should be, “What are the differences between porcelain tiles and non-porcelain tiles?” • What are the differences between porcelain tiles & non-porcelain tiles? Porcelain tiles are typically made with “porcelain” clays that have specific properties. Typically, these tiles are dense and by definition, they have water absorption of 0.5% or less. Non-porcelain tiles have water absorption greater than 0.5%. Because porcelain tiles have a low water absorption, they are usually frost resistant - although, not always. To know if a tile is frost resistant, you should check the manufacturer’s recommendations. 20 DESIGNING WITH TILE WHY CERAMIC TILE? 1. Design versatility 2. Green product 3. Low Life Cycle Cost / Durability 4. Colors are permanent 5. Fire resistant 21 DESIGNING WITH TILE 1. DESIGN VERSATILITY It offers unparalleled design versatility ... • mono-chromatic colors • gloss or matte finishes • hand painted designs • smooth or rough textures • stone imitations • metallic or fabric textures • rustic looks • & many other variations and formats • ceramic mosaics 22 DESIGNING WITH TILE WOOD PORCELAIN LOOK 23 DESIGNING WITH TILE FABRIC LOOK 24 DESIGNING WITH TILE MARBLE LOOK MARBLE LOOK 25 DESIGNING WITH TILE CONCRETE LOOK DIMENSIONAL LOOK 26 DESIGNING WITH TILE METALLIC LOOK 27 DESIGNING WITH TILE CERAMIC MOSAIC 28 DESIGNING WITH TILE MODULAR LOOK 29 DESIGNING WITH TILE CONCRETE LOOK 30 DESIGNING WITH TILE PORCELAIN TILE LAMINATE PORCELAIN TILE LAMINATE PORCELAIN TILE LAMINATE 31 DESIGNING WITH TILE PORCELAIN TILE LAMINATE 32 DESIGNING WITH TILE VENTILATED FACADES 33 DESIGNING WITH TILE RAISED ACCESS FLOORING 34 DESIGNING WITH TILE TILE FORMAT SCHEMATICS & LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS 35 DESIGNING WITH TILE JACK-ON-JACK RUNNING BOND DIAMOND CHECKERBOARD HERRINGBONE BASKETWEAVE 36 DESIGNING WITH TILE BASKETWEAVE BASKETWEAVE VERTICAL OFFSET ALTERNATING HORIZONTAL BASKETWEAVE HORIZONTAL BRICKWORK SQUARE ALTERNATING ESCALA CORRIDOR COBBLESTONE BRICKWORK VERTICAL BRICKWORK VERTICAL NARROW CORRIDOR HORIZONTAL GRID HORIZONTAL HERRINGBONE 37 DESIGNING WITH TILE VERTICAL LINE HORIZONTAL LINE RUNNING BOND PATTERN VERTICAL LINE JACK-ON-JACK PATTERN HORIZONTAL LINE 38 DESIGNING WITH TILE 2. GREEN PRODUCT Ceramic tile is environmentally friendly • Inhospitable to germs, bacteria & allergens • Production uses renewable, plentiful raw materials, recycles energy & does not create industrial refuse that burdens landfills • Faces of glazed ceramic tile will not retain liquids or absorb fumes, odors or smoke. It will not emit VOC’s thus allowing for good food, hygiene and increased air quality • Many types of tiles are recommended for environments where hygiene is essential. In fact, in Europe, ceramic tiles are required in public swimming pools, food processing plants and other critical installations 39 DESIGNING WITH TILE 95% RECYCLED CONTENT In keeping with its environmental commitment, Recycled Porcelain was developed, a tile collection manufactured with 95% recycled content from the company’s own production process. 40 DESIGNING WITH TILE 3.

FIRE RESISTANT • Ceramic tiles are completely fire-proof at any temperature • Will not burn or feed a fire, nor will their surface give off any toxic gases or fumes 5. COLORS ARE PERMANENT • Ceramic tiles will never be affected by UV Rays. They present an excellent solution for exterior facades in buildings 42 DESIGNING WITH TILE TILE IS NON COMBUSTIBLE • It will not emit noxious fumes • It cannot be damaged by cigarette butts 43 DESIGNING WITH TILE IMPACT RESISTANCE • Porcelain tile has the highest resistance to impact damage • A major factor is
