CERAMIC FLOOR OR PORCELAIN FLOOR

Ceramic flooring is distinguished by its versatility, resistance and impermeability. More and more households are betting on this type of flooring. Due to its resistance and the fairly simple type of care, which allows it to be a material with numerous finishes, since it can imitate almost any other material that we want. Within this type of flooring, we find major brands such as Dekton® or Neolith®, among others.

On the other hand, porcelain flooring stands out for being much stronger than ceramic flooring, and because it allows us to achieve more up-to-date designs and spaces and open. But which one is better?

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF CERAMIC FLOOR VS PORCELAIN FLOOR

Ceramic flooring is very resistant but requires a series of care and factors to take into account:

• Impermeability. It is a porous material, so we must use specific treatments to prevent stains from occurring. Among the outstanding treatments we find protectors and non-slip as well.
• Cold pavement. It is an ideal material for summer, although it can be a big problem in winter.

On the other hand we have the porcelain floor, these have slight differences;

• Highly resistant. If the ceramic floor is resistant, the porcelain floor is even more so. In addition, they have the characteristic of being much more resistant in terms of scratches, discoloration, chips and stains.
• Maintenance. Porcelain flooring does not require complicated maintenance and does not require waterproofing treatments as in the case of ceramic flooring.
• Durability. As this material is produced at a very high temperature, it makes it a much more durable product. What's more, if we make good use of porcelain flooring we could make it last a lifetime.

In terms of aesthetics, both have many finishes for the client to opt for one. However, we could say that porcelain floors stand out for having a more elegant finish, what does this mean? That can even better imitate the finishes of other materials such as marble or wood.

WHAT PRODUCTS SHOULD WE USE TO MAKE A CERAMIC FAÇADE? AND TO PRODUCE A PORCELAIN FACADE?

The ventilated façade is on the rise and this is demonstrated by the ceramic façade. It is one of the most used materials for ventilated facades due to its hardness and resistance. That is why we must take into account what products we can use. Both for the production of ceramic facades and porcelain facades.

• In the first place, we will have to elaborate in the workshop the table or the tile that will later be installed on the façade. To carry out this step, we must have efficient machinery such as the cutters → CPAV-G ← and → CPM← . Both machines are used to cut ceramic and porcelain materials in a practical way. They are available in different bench sizes, as well as being configurable in the part cutting drive and control accessories that will make its processing much easier.

• In order to cut this hard material, we must use a disc that provides us with good results. This happens with the BelCut brand, which provides high quality discs at an unbeatable price. Within its range of discs, we find the → ceramic discs and/or → porcelain discs ← . It also has different diameters and thicknesses that adapt to the needs of the moment.
