The matter is that the floor tile should possess one important quality - the raised resistance to deterioration. Under the international standards there are 5 groups of such ceramica tile. Groups of a tile are designated from PEI-I up to PEI-V. The first group is least steady against deterioration, the fifth - the steadiest. Classification of a ceramic tile on groups occurs after strict tests for resistance to deterioration. The wall tile of internal works is used as the good covering protecting a wall from destructive influence of a moisture and various chemical compounds. Therefore, more often we buy ceramic tile for bathroom and ceramic tile for kitchen.

Ceramic tile for external worksIf you have decided to put a ceramic tile outside (facades, terraces, balconies) choose mark of a ceramic tile with the raised frost resistance. The matter is that this parameter directly is connected, with ability of ceramic tile to absorb a moisture, and, the more the tile absorbs a moisture, the less ceramic tile is cold-resistant. At freezing the moisture will simply break off ceramics. To avoid such mistake, it is necessary to look closely the information placed on packing of a ceramic tile or to familiarize with the accompanying documentation. Designations A I or B I, speak, that this ceramic tile cold-resistant and approaches for external works, the code A III or B III designates, that the given mark of a ceramic tile is used only for internal works.
