Vitrified tile is a ceramic tile with very low porosity. It is an alternative to marble and granite flooring. Vitrified tiles are often used outdoors due to their water and frost resistance.

Vitrified tiles are similar to traditional ceramic tiles, but include silica and clay in the mix. During the process of vitrification, the silica and clay melt and blend together to form a glass-like element inside each tile, allowing it to retain the original sheen even after several years of use. These tiles come in a variety of styles, patterns and colours, making them a viable alternative to marble or granite. However, due to the addition of silica and clay and the vitrification process, these tiles cost a little more than ceramic ones.

Vitrified tiles are perfect for the backsplash in your kitchen or flooring in your bathroom. The process of vitrification ensures the tiles harden and become weather-proof, so you can use them both indoors and outdoors. Since they have the ability to withstand a great deal of pressure, they can also be used on the roof, or in the garden.
