Estima Ceramica tiles: varieties and popular collections

Estima Ceramica is one of the first and largest suppliers of porcelain stoneware in Russia. Estima tile is suitable for wall and floor cladding, can be used not only indoors, but also for the facade and porch. Such a material as porcelain has unique properties that determine its strength and resistance to frost. However, in addition to quality, Estima tile has high-class aesthetic properties, because the manufacturer produces it in various types of design.

Let's see the main collections and varieties of tiles.

Porcelain stoneware is an unusually durable, wear-resistant and diverse material. therefore it is used:

• in facing facades of industrial and commercial buildings, as well as residential complexes;
• facing the porch and steps of residential and commercial buildings;
• for laying floors in residential premises and in production, for example, in warehouses, where the flooring is subjected to pressure equipment;
• for facing of walls at apartment renovation.

The tile can be either purchased in bulk for large-scale projects, for example, the construction of a residential complex, or by private individuals for repairing an apartment or renovating a private house.

High-strength material is created from natural raw materials, all stages of production are fully automated and possible thanks to modern equipment. Raw materials for porcelain - a mixture of clay, sand and feldspar. The production technology includes such stages as pressing a raw material under high pressure, cutting, dyeing and firing, as well as enrobing - this gives the desired texture.

A unique feature of the tile material is the dyeing process. The coloring composition is mixed with raw materials, so the tile is painted throughout the volume. And this means that even if the upper layer is abraded, the color will not change.

Finished samples are sent for certification.The quality department checks such properties as moisture resistance, frost resistance and durability. Based on these data, appropriate icons are placed on the packaging. Whether tiles can be used for walls or for floors, whether they are frost resistant — all this can be recognized by packaging.

Tiled material can be floor and wall, its thickness is indicated on the box, as well as dimensions.

The thickness of the ceramic granite is from 3 to 30 mm. The floor tiles must be at least 8 mm thick, and if the floor provides for heavy loads (for example, equipment or vehicles), then 12 mm.

The tile of the Estima standart collection is issued in the sizes:

• 30 x 30 cm;
• 40 x 40 cm;
• 60 x 60 cm

New collections of floor tiles, stylized for other materials, released in large formats:

• 20 x 120 cm;
• 30 x 120 cm;

The tile surface depends on how it is processed. A safer surface is considered safer, so it is used for laying floors more often, but glossy surfaces that can cause slipping on the floor are an ideal choice for walls.

The tile surface can be:

• polished;
• unpolished;
• lapatirovanny (glossy).

An innovative method of applying a pattern to the surface is digital printing, which opens up the possibility to create a variety of textures and colors.

The process of laying tiles is quite simple, and the cement mortar itself is prepared easily and is inexpensive, which is another advantage for using porcelain stoneware.

Buyers praise the colors under the flooring and low prices on tiles. Some tilers point out that there is a difference between the thickness of pieces of one batch.
