keramikkalevyjä

Keramikkalevyjä, often translated as ceramic tiles or ceramic sheets, are manufactured from clay-based materials that are fired at high temperatures. This process creates a durable and often decorative surface. They are widely used in construction and interior design for a variety of applications, including flooring, wall cladding, and countertops.

The composition of keramikkalevyjä can vary, influencing their properties such as hardness, water absorption, and frost resistance. Common types include porcelain tiles, which are dense and have very low water absorption, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including high-traffic areas. Glazed ceramic tiles, on the other hand, have a protective glass-like coating that adds color and pattern, and also increases their resistance to stains and moisture. Unglazed tiles offer a more natural aesthetic and are often used in areas where slip resistance is a priority.

The manufacturing process typically involves mixing raw materials, pressing them into the desired shape, drying, and then firing in a kiln. Additional processes like glazing and decorative printing can be applied before or after firing, depending on the desired finish. Keramikkalevyjä are valued for their durability, ease of cleaning, and wide range of aesthetic options, making them a versatile choice for many design projects. Their longevity and low maintenance contribute to their popularity in both residential and commercial settings.
