Vitrified tiles have gained immense popularity in the world of interior design and architecture due to their outstanding tenacity and durability. These tiles are known for their ability to withstand heavy wear and tear while maintaining their lustrous appearance for years. But what makes them so firm and long-lasting?

Today, we shall explore the unique characteristics of vitrified tiles and learn why they have become the preferred choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

What is a vitrified tile and how is it made?

The strength and tenacity of vitrified tiles can be attributed to the vitrification process during manufacturing. Vitrification involves exposing the raw materials to high temperatures above 1200°C. This process causes the materials to fuse together, transforming them into a dense, non-porous structure. The absence of pores ensures that vitrified tiles are highly resistant to moisture, stains, and chemicals, making them suitable for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms.



Vitero Tiles offer three sub-categories of vitrified tiles:

1. Double Charged Vitrified Tiles
2. Full Body Vitrified Tiles
3. Glazed Vitrified Tiles

Each tile type has its own unique features and applications. Our Double Charged Vitrified Tiles are manufactured using the most advanced Italian technology, and extremely pure clays and minerals. All our double charge vitrified tiles are sealed by Nano Polishing Technology to make them totally non-porous.

Our range of Full Body Vitrified Tiles have a thickness of 15mm making them ideal for commercial buildings and public areas with high foot traffic. They have a uniform colour and are extremely scratch and tear resistant, meaning they are primarily used in commercial spaces.

Glazed Vitrified Tiles are made from the highest quality ceramic tiles, with a glazed coating that gives them the ability to be easily customised. Our range of digitally printed wall tiles include a wide variety of designs printed on the glaze coating, giving you a plethora of options to choose from.

These high-quality glazed vitrified tiles are stain-proof, scratch-proof and abrasion-resistant, making them ideal for both residential and commercial spaces, be it a hotel lobby, living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or hospital waiting rooms.

If creating a unique look for your space is what you are going for, the Vitero Glazed Vitrified Tiles range is here to help you translate your vision onto your walls or floors with ease.

But what makes our range of vitrified tiles the best?

1. Non-porous in nature:

One of the key factors behind the tenacity of our vitrified tiles is their non-porous nature. Unlike other types of tiles, vitrified tiles do not absorb water or liquids, making them highly resistant to damage caused by spills, stains, and seepage. This also prevents the growth of mould, mildew, and bacteria on the tile surface, ensuring a hygienic environment and easy maintenance.



2. High strength and impact resistance:

Vitrified tiles are known for their exceptional strength and impact resistance, making them ideal for areas with heavy foot traffic and frequent movements of heavy objects. Their robust composition allows them to withstand the pressure and weight without chipping or cracking, ensuring a long-lasting and durable flooring solution.



3. Low maintenance and longevity:

One of the main reasons homeowners and businesses opt for Vitero Tiles when it comes to choosing vitrified tiles for their space is their low maintenance. Due to their non-porous surface, vitrified tiles do not require extensive cleaning or sealing. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are sufficient to maintain their shine and lustre. Moreover, their durability ensures that they remain in pristine condition for years, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.



4. The aesthetic appeal and versatility:

Vitero Tiles brings a wide range of designs, colours, and textures in vitrified tiles, paving the way for endless possibilities in designing the interiors of your home or commercial space. Whether you prefer the look of natural stone, the warmth of wood, or the elegance of marble, our vitrified tiles can mimic various materials, offering a cost-effective alternative without compromising on aesthetics. Their versatility makes them suitable for any design style, from modern to traditional, complementing any interior space in an effortless and visually appealing manner.



5. Environmentally friendly choice:

Another compelling aspect of our brand of vitrified tiles is their eco-friendliness. Made from natural raw materials using eco-friendly manufacturing processes, they have a smaller carbon footprint compared to other types of flooring options. Their long lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements, which, in turn, minimises the consumption of resources and waste generation, making them a sustainable choice for environmentally-conscious consumers.

To sum it up, our vitrified tiles boast of ‘tenacity’ due to their vitrification process, non-porous nature, strength, and impact resistance. These qualities, combined with their low maintenance requirements, aesthetic appeal, and eco-friendliness, have made them a top choice when it comes to flooring solutions in both residential and commercial spaces.

So, when it comes to choosing tiles for your space, Vitero’s vitrified tiles are your go-to solution… Because it is not just about getting a durable and long-lasting floor, but also about contributing to a sustainable future!
