Double Charge Tiles

Durable And Long Lasting Double Charge Vitrified Tiles

Double charge tiles are manufactured by combining feldspar, silica, quartz and clay. The mix is fired at high temperatures in a kiln and then put through the process of vitrification that makes the tile body sturdier and gives the surface a shine. Then, a colour pigment (or two, depending on the design) is added to the tile to create the top layer which is added on top of the base layer. The tile is fired at high temperatures, infusing the two layers together to create a single, double-charge tile.

These tiles are not only robust in nature but are also easily clean, do not require regular maintenance functions such as sealing and have minimal porosity. Since these tiles are unglazed, it is not practical to print on them; hence these tiles often have very simple single or dual-coloured designs.

Due to their double layer, the tiles have added girth and are stronger than regular tiles. This makes it easy for them to withstand heavy traffic.  The tiles can be used in various spaces – residential and commercial, indoors and outdoors.

 FAQs about Double Charge Tiles

Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding double Charge tiles:

Q. What is a double charge tile?

Double charge tiles are tiles made using 2 layers of vitrified material, joined together to form a tile that is 3 to 4 mm thicker than regular tiles. The tiles are very strong and have low porosity, making them ideal for outdoor spaces such as parking lots.

Q. Are double-charge tiles good?

Since the tiles are made by combining two layers of tiles, they are thicker and more robust in nature. This results in tiles that can withstand heavy amounts of foot and vehicular traffic without showing visible signs of wear and tear easily. The tiles are also easy to clean, require minimal maintenance and have low porosity.

Q. Which is better double charge or digital tiles?

While digital tiles may provide you with vivid patterns and colours, they are no match for double-charge tiles when one considers durability and longevity. So, if aesthetics is your key requirement (especially while considering wall tiles or floor tiles with minimal foot traffic) you can opt for digital tiles. But, if you are looking for tiles to withstand heavy foot or vehicular traffic, double-charge tiles win hands down!

Q. How do you know if a tile is a double charge?

As mentioned earlier, double charge tiles are manufactured by combining two layers of tiles. This makes these tiles about 3 to 4 mm thicker than regular tiles. If you cannot judge by simply gauging the thickness of the tile, just turn the tile sideways – you will be able to see the two distinct layers used to make the tile.
