The wear resistance class of ceramic tiles is often accompanied by the abbreviation PEI - from the name of the US institute Porcelain Enamel Institute, which conducts research on ceramic materials and developed this measurement scale. The method is based on the assertion that the degree of wear of ceramic tiles should not be determined by a decrease in its thickness, but rather by a noticeable difference in appearance between the worn surface and areas that have not been tested. The assessment is carried out at a certain distance under specified lighting conditions. It is important to emphasize that with the same degree of abrasion on dark surfaces, the wear invariably becomes more noticeable. For this reason, the PEI value is shown in tile catalogs as a requirement for an individual assortment item, and not for the collection as a whole, since it can contain both light and dark tiles.
OJSC "Ceramic Products Plant" at the international construction and interior exhibition "Batimat Russia 2016" presented new products produced under the Uralkeramika trademark in a new format of 200x600 mm using relief surfaces and the most modern materials. New products are already on sale.
