Stone Tile

The stone tile is borrowed from the French word Tuile, which itself is formed from the Latin word Tegula, roof tile, which means fired clay. A tile is a thin object that is shaped like a square or rectangle. This stone is a final product that does not change after it is made. In general, we can say that a tile is a piece made of hard material that is covered with ceramic, stone, metal, baked clay, and even glass. This stone is used for construction in different parts of the house. You can easily see the tile on the ceiling, floor, wall or on the tables used in the kitchen counter.

Making stone tiles

How are tiles made in stone factories? After the stones are removed from the mine, they are transferred to the warehouse to be sent to the factory. Using advanced and specialized cutting machines, tile stones are cut to specific sizes. At first, all the stones are cut with a uniform thickness, and then in another process that includes cutting, polishing the stone, cutting into pieces and shaving the edges, the final stone with distinct sizes is ready to be used. After the final design, its shape does not change at all and it is used for direct installation in building construction.

The difference between slab and tile

Stone tiles have differences with slabs, and if you get to know them, you will get a better understanding of tiles.

Their final form is different:

After being cut from the stone crusher, the slab stones can be changed again during construction, this is while the tile is the final product of stone cutting and its final shape cannot be changed in any way; Because the edges of the work are closed and polished on the work, which loses its original beautiful shape when it is cut.

The size of the stone is different in both cases:

Another difference between tile and slab is its size and quality. Generally, stones that are of higher quality are turned into slabs to ensure their resistance during use. This does not mean that low-quality stones are used for tiles, because small sizes do not require high resistance during construction.

Very different price:

The price of tile is cheaper than stone slabs, so the use of this product has many fans. Due to the fact that the quality of the work is very high compared to the price, and tile cutting is followed with a special precision and elegance, this stone is used a lot in internal constructions.
