Question
1) What is the difference between vitrified tiles and ceramic tiles

Answer
Hi Raju,
Vitrified tiles are a fully homogenous tile and far superior to ordinary ceramic floor tiles. Ordinary ceramic floor tiles are porous products and require to be glazed or sealed before use. Vitrified tiles on the other hand are an unglazed product. They are made of single compact body mass and are virtually porous free (water absorption near zero). This makes them stronger and more durable.
