Porcelain stoneware is an artificial facing material that is durable and strong. Unlike ceramic tiles, it consists not only of clay, but also of quartz sand and other components that seal the composition.
Due to this, porcelain stoneware is used for floors in different rooms. At the same time, many people have doubts: is it possible to lay porcelain stoneware on walls? Yes, this is acceptable. In this article, we will discuss how to implement this and ensure a long service life for the cladding.
Certain types and production methods of porcelain stoneware can be laid on walls. This is necessarily a glazed variety, the surface of which is covered with a layer of glaze, fixed during firing. These are moisture-resistant, durable and easy-to-maintain canvases that are distinguished by a variety of designs and textures.
The working parameters of porcelain stoneware make it possible to use it for various finishes, including outside the building. The advantage is that it is devoid of some of the disadvantages of natural stone. For example, in the case of natural material, when the glue polymerizes, it penetrates deep into the microcracks and pores of the stone, and can ruin the surface by forming stains that are difficult to get rid of later.
