• Type of the Space: You can choose a specific vitrified tile for use in areas like kitchens, bedrooms, offices, parking, garden, staircases, etc. Vitrified tile designs will offer different features and surface characteristics for each of these areas.


• Area of the Application Space: The strong body and physical characteristics make vitrified tiles perfect for floor applications. However, depending on the type of usage for the floor the tile type will change. For example. Johnson Paver series tiles can handle light vehicle traffic. However, for garden pathways and outdoor seating, you can use Johnson Max-grip and Meteor tiles.


• Surface Type: Johnson’s vitrified tile collection provides specialized solutions for spaces like retail stores, workshops, industrial floors, outdoor settings, parking lots and swimming pools. Depending on the safety requirement of the area, you can choose a verified tile design that offers you adequate surface grip. For instance, garden tiles should have excellent grip for foot traffic, so that they are safe for walking even during rain.


• Type of Footfall: While all vitrified tiles can handle medium to high footfall, you should take care of the type of traffic the tiles will receive. If you expect foot traffic on the tiles, most floor tiles can handle it. However, if you are tiling a vehicle parking area, you should use appropriately strengthened tiles. Similarly, tiles for staircase steps have groove lines for extra grip and bull nosing for feet safety.


• Décor Requirements: Once you have identified the size, types, and qualities of tiles you are looking for you can start to finalise the designs. Wood lookalike, granite, marble, coordinated, mosaic, and colours of the tiles. Johnson also has several unique looks with large and medium-sized tiles.


• Special Characteristics: Industrial floor tiles and cool roof tiles offer special characteristics. Industrial floor tiles can offer anti-radiation, anti-static, and chemical-resistant properties for use in power plants, manufacturing facilities, data centres and workshops. Cool roof tiles can remain cooler than the ambient temperature despite their exposure to sunlight.

• Full-Body Vitrified Tiles: Full-body vitrified tiles are made of silica, clay, feldspar, quartz, and grains of colour pigment. All vitrified tiles are baked at around 1200 degrees centigrade. These tiles feature a uniform structure and can be cut and shaped like a stone block after manufacturing.


• Double-Charged Vitrified Tiles: Double-charged vitrified tiles have a thick layer of colour pigment applied directly on the tile’s surface. The dual tone of the colours on these tiles gives them the name double charge tiles. Due to the thick layer of colour pigment, tiles can hide minor scratches on the surface.


• Glazed Vitrified Tiles: Glazed Vitrified tiles are vitrified tiles with a hardened layer of glaze on top. The glazed surface can be digitally printed with high-definition graphics allowing unique patterns and better-than-perfect replicas of natural materials.


• Polished Vitrified Tiles: Vitrified tiles have a surface with nanopores. Even though the tiles are almost waterproof, the pores can still hold liquids causing the tile to get stained. When polished, these tiles have the nanopores filled to the extent that the tile will become stain-resistant. Polish also gives these tiles a reflective surface.


• Industrial Tiles: Industrial tiles can be manufactured with different materials for strength, surface quality and characteristics as per the industry. For instance, industrial parking tiles, anti-radiation tiles, anti-static, and chemical and alkali-resistant tiles.

1. Do vitrified tiles break easily?

No, vitrified tiles are one of the hardest flooring materials. However, their breaking strength depends on the tile thickness and density. Vitrified tile thickness for floor applications varies from 0.8cm to 2cm. you can install 1.2cm thick 60x60cm vitrified tiles with raised bases for seating areas and patio. You can check the technical details for an accurate measure of the tile-breaking strength.

2. How do you identify good-quality vitrified tiles?

You can check the technical specifications for declared values of tile water absorption (0.05% or less for vitrified tiles), surface hardness, tile breaking strength, measurement errors, surface error (curve), and surface resistance. You can test the surface flatness of tiles by laying the tile on a perfectly horizontal surface and pouring water on it. The tile should not retain the water in the center which could mean a concave (inwardly bent) surface.

3. How do you maintain vitrified tiles?

Maintaining vitrified tiles is easy. Polished vitrified tiles should be wiped for any dust accumulations using a microfibre cloth dipped in mild soap mixed with warm water. Matte finish and outdoor tiles only require sweeping them clean of excess dirt. If you have used adhesive to fix the tiles check for the broken sealing and repair any damage as soon as possible.

4. Can we use vitrified tiles in bathrooms?

Vitrified tiles are best for bathrooms due to their low water absorption and high capacity for handling foot traffic. It's suitable for both Floor & Wall applications.

5. What are vitrified Tiles?

Vitrified tiles are slabs of material manufactured by heating a mixture of clay, feldspar, silica, quartz, and other minerals at temperatures above 1200 degrees centigrade. This process fuses all the minerals in a glass-like substance and results in a material that can resemble natural stones in physical characteristics.
