Yes, all our products are kiln-fired ceramic tiles, meeting stringent industry standards for color fastness and durability. This guarantees that the tiles are durable, abrasion-resistant, fade-resistant, and waterproof and weather-resistant, maintaining their quality appearance throughout their lifespan. For complete peace of mind, our tiles are also chemical-friendly and mold-resistant.

Question 6

What are screen-printed tiles?

Accepted Answer

Screen-printing on tiles is a printing technique used to apply designs, patterns, or images onto ceramic tiles using a silk screen. This method involves transferring ink through a mesh screen onto the tile surface, creating detailed and durable prints. Screen-printing on tiles is a commonly used technique in the global commercial tiles industry, used for creating decorative tiles, murals, backsplashes, and other custom tile applications due to its ability to produce vibrant, detailed, and durable designs. However, one of the major disadvantages of screen-printed tiles is the lack of brushstrokes, and organic color shade aesthetics.
