Products from white clay:
Faience - it is a mixture of white clay with caolin and quartz components. It burns at 1100-1200 degrees and has porous structure. It should be glazed. It is used in manufacture of sanitary technicians, tableware, decorative products. If you wish to understand from what your plate is made - turn its bottom upwards. You will see unglazed round edge (on it the plate is put in the furnace at burning). Touch it with tongue - if there is a sensation, that tongue sticks, it is a faience, which absorbs moisture in its pores. Durability of faience is quite low, but it is firm enough. It can be used in furnish of the individual house as a covering of walls, floors and ladders. The same as majolica for a long time and it is with success used at manufacturing a tile and tiles for furnaces and fireplaces. It can be applied as elements of dressing of a ladder. For example, if ladder steps are done of a tree, stair risers can be reveted by a tile.
Porcelain - is a mixture of white clay with very greater caolin maintenance and with additives of quartz components. Roasting passes at 1380 degrees. It is the firmest material from all kinds of ceramics. The range of use is very wide - from tableware and subjects of an interior, up to prosthetics in stomatology and technical application (engine building, electric power industry and so forth). It is the most expensive kind of ceramics. Not-glazed porcelain has a beautiful name - a biscuit. In other languages of the world porcelain it can be named “china” (in a place of the invention - China) and “porcelain”. For dressing ladders it is applied in the form of inserts into rail post, stair risers, to creation of separate elements of the stair lifts.

Products from ceramics:
Mixture for ceramic
tile is a mixture from clay, including quartz and other special additives. It is made by the manufacturer of tile, proceeding from purpose of production. After roasting the tile has porous structure. It allows using confidently it for the device “warm” (with heating) floors and ladders. Roasting of floor tile is, as a rule, unary - for the maximal sintering weight with glaze that raises stability to fretting. The tile of soft colors - by virtue of features of used dyes is steadiest to fretting. Soft, “earthen” shades of color usually have a natural origin - on the basis of color clays.
For floors and stair lifts especially strong tile with a matte not sliding covering is used. Term of operation is predetermined by use at stacking modern gluing mixes and absence of emptiness under already laid tile. It is recommended for use in private-type dwellings or in premises with small passableness.
Ceramic granite is the most perfect achievement of modern technologies in facing ceramics. It has monolithic structure, it does not absorb moisture. It is not subject to atmospheric and temperature influence. It is steady to fretting.
All the elements, which are a part of ceramic granite, have a natural origin. These are caoline clay, quartz components, feldspar, and pigments on the basis of metals???????? oxides. All components, in result of sintering form the monolithic structure, capable to surpass on operational qualities and granite natural origin.
It is worth of mentioning about ecological cleanliness of this material. Color and the invoice can be various, as simulating natural materials (a marble, a granite, malachite and so forth) with the original design.
It is applied everywhere in conditions of high operational loadings (shops, sports constructions, public buildings, etc.). Steps are specially made for facing ladders from ceramic granite. They have spin in the forward edge, the necessary size and can be of various configurations). Not sliding matte covering predetermines safe operation even at use outside of buildings. The ceramic granite demands thorough training of the equal basis for stacking. Infringement of technology of stacking subsequently can lead to damage of a covering. From all kinds of ceramic coverings it is the most suitable material for facing ladders.
