Rock plate and ceramic tile are often compared which is good, in fact, both have advantages, such as ultra-thin and ultra-light rock plate, ceramic tile tile style, bright color and so on, which is good to see their own needs. The difference between rock plate and ceramic tile is mainly reflected in the raw materials, the scope of application and the development process of three aspects, among which the rock plate has a wide range of application and the overall decorative effect is strong, which is not done by ceramic tile. Which is better, sintered or tile? What's the difference between sintered and tile


Which is better, sintered or tile?

Rock slab and tile have their own advantages. It is recommended that you choose according to your personal preferences, needs and budget. It is more important to suit yourself.


1.Advantages of rock plate: ultra-thin and ultra-light. The rock plate is thinner, only 1/3 of the traditional tile, the rock plate is lighter, even less than 1/3 of the traditional tile, the average weight of the traditional tile is 23-27kg/㎡, and the average weight of the ultra-thin rock plate is only 7kg/㎡, easy to transport and install.


2.the advantages of ceramic tile: ceramic tile style, bright color, there are many options for choice, no matter what kind of style can be shown by ceramic tile, but also has waterproof effect, on hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and other acids and any concentration of alkali at room temperature, have excellent corrosion resistance.


What's the difference between sintered and tile?


(1) Different raw materials:

  • Rock plate raw material is made of quartz stone, granite and clay mixture, belongs to the high-tech achievement of new materials, to a certain extent belongs to the brand new building materials category.
  • Ceramic tile raw materials are mixed by clay and quartz sand. After grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering, the formation of a kind of acid and alkali resistant porcelain or stone.
(2) Different application scope:
  • The use of rock plate is wide, the overall decorative effect is strong, realistic marble grain, whether large space use or home decoration use, the visual effect highlights the atmosphere, the space grade can be improved. It can also act as the surface decoration material in the kitchen and bathroom space. And that's not what tiles can do.

(3) Different development processes:

  • Ceramic tiles are made of refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides through grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering.
  • Rock plate is made of natural raw materials through special technology, with the help of more than 10,000 tons of press, combined with advanced production technology, and fired at a high temperature above 1200℃.
