Some of their examples are Tungsten carbide, Silicon carbide, Beryllia, Zirconia, Alumina, Magnesia. Advantages Of Ceramic Tiles Most of them have high hardness hence they are used as abrasive powder and   cutting tools   They have high melting point which makes them excellent refractory material They are good thermal insulators this is another reason to use them as refractory material They are high electric resistivity which makes them suitable to be used an insulator They...

Marble has the advantage of looking natural and unique usually grey- or cream-colored with darker veins running through them. No two tiles are exactly alike. To make tiles, marble stone is sized and cut, then polished and finished on one side to create a uniform surface and thickness. Tiles are a type of  ceramic tiles  made with a refined clay usually red or white clay. This special process makes porcelain tiles less absorbent, thicker, and more durable, and thus suitable as flooring. Compared to marble, tiles are less likely to stain. Pro and Cons of Marble: 1.  Marble has a high aesthetic value and adds both elegance and value to a home. 2.  Marble tiles can be time-consuming and costly 3.  Marble is porous and requires regular (twice-yearly) applications of sealants to remain resistant to stains and dulling. 4.  Marble  tiles texture  can be used on walls, but they are more popular for indoor flooring, backsplashes, sinks, kitche...
