An article is textual and illustrative material in which the author sets the task of analyzing social situations, processes, phenomena, primarily from the point of view of the patterns underlying them.
The term craquelure itself refers to the crevices and cracks that form on the surface of the glaze. The pattern of these cracks is often circular, although they may be scattered across the surface of the glaze.
The metals lead - Pb and cadmium - Cd are sometimes included in the glaze of ceramic tiles and pose a danger to human health.
The impact resistance or elasticity of a floor covering material is its resistance to breaking along the entire thickness or to breaking off individual parts due to a strong impact.
Thermal resistance is the ability of ceramic tiles to withstand without damage the stress caused by dimensional deformations due to sudden changes in temperature, especially if such changes are repeated frequently.
Existing (or old) subfloors require particularly high skill from the installer. It is often difficult to determine what type the base should be classified as and how suitable it is for further use. Each base has its own specifics that must be used in its preparation.
The reasons for the appearance may be the following factors:
- excess moisture in the base;
- uneven distribution of the adhesive composition;
- presence of dust, dirt, grease stains...
Porcelain tiles are a type of ceramic tile produced by pressing and have a water absorption of less than 0.5% (EN 14411) - the lowest for all floor and wall tiles.
The defects discussed in this chapter are “mechanical” damage to the lined surface that occurs after a certain period of time, usually too short (usually after a year or two, sometimes after a few months).
The most common mistakes at this stage:
- the room is measured incorrectly;
- there is no breakdown of the coverage;
- ceramic tiles are calculated incorrectly...
Fire behavior is one of the most important characteristics of all building materials. Ceramic tiles help prevent fires; it is a completely non-flammable material and therefore retards the spread of fire.
