Such improvements justify its study for the installation of porcelain tiles.
Similar results are achieved if commercial ceramic tiles are used as a substrate instead of glass.
The macroscopic appearance, microstructure, mechanical, thermal and chemical properties indicated that these materials are quite attractive for cladding applications, exhibiting in some cases better performances than the conventional ceramic tiles.
It is illustrated that besides ceramic armor layup, interlayers of ceramic tiles have a significant role in increasing the armor performance.
As a consequence, tiles exhibited noteworthy mechanical properties.
The examined clays from Region VI could be used as raw material in ceramic tiles, while the samples from Region VII could be used for the manufacture of floor and wall tiles, in addition to structural ceramics and semi-refractory bricks.
Porcelainized stoneware represents a leading product in the world market of ceramic tiles, thanks to its relevant bending strength (with respect to other classes of tiles) and extremely low water absorption: these properties derive from its really low content of residual porosity.
The results showed that formulations containing up to 62% of waste could be used in the production of ceramic tiles.
Nowadays, commercial cool roof products are mainly represented by organic membranes and coatings, but ceramic tiles can offer an interesting alternative or complement in view of their high durability.
The results of a visual analysis and water spot test showed that the investigated engobe, compared with a commercial engobe (engobe reference), could be used in the production of glazed ceramic tiles.
At 800 °C, the doped samples achieved water contact angle near to zero in just 15 min of UV irradiation, which confirms the high performance of the self-cleaning ceramic tiles.
The behaviour in ceramic production is suitable for high-quality bricks, including roofing tiles.
The obtained ceramic tiles possess properties similar to commercial ceramic floor and/or wall tiles.
The properties of porcelain tiles with addition of basalt and granitic rock wastes show the possibility of their limit use as fluxes in ceramic tiles industry.
Since the chemical durability for acid and alkali was excellent in these glass-ceramics, they are considered to be candidates for applications such as building materials, ceramic tiles, etc.
This work shows that the clays can be used on their own in the production of ceramic tiles.
Results indicated that the firing temperature and tailings proportion significantly influenced the porcelain tiles properties.
