Ceramic stone is one of the types of building materials that are used to make the coating. Ceramic is of Greek origin and means "something made of clay". Ceramic and stone are both good covering materials for floors or walls of buildings, however, they are very different from each other. Most people have a problem between choosing stone and ceramic and do not know which one is a better choice.
What is ceramic stone?
Ceramic is a type of widely used building material that is made from materials such as clay, carbide, silicon and aluminum oxide. The raw materials for making ceramics are mixed in water to form a paste and poured into molds for making ceramics. After the ceramics are dried, they are placed in the furnace so that the porosity of the material is removed and its density increases. Finally, the ceramic is covered with a glaze to make it resistant to various environmental conditions such as humidity, heat, impact, wear and scratches.
⚫️ Application of ceramic stone
Ceramic has wide applications in various industries The use of ceramics is very popular in construction, automotive, casting, turning, electrical and chemical industries. Ceramic is the most used as a coating in building construction.

⚫️ Ceramic stone applications
The bathroom floor
Construction of the kitchen floor
Use in the construction of bathroom and toilet walls and floors
As a cover in all parts of the building that are in contact with moisture.
Internal wall coverings as insulation
Using slab ceramics to cover the large rooms of the building
Use in the construction of the interior of the building
Use in the construction of the exterior of the building
⚫️ Advantages of ceramics
Using ceramics in construction will have many advantages. The biggest advantage of these materials is their reasonable price. One of the most important issues that concern the minds of most stone and ceramic buyers is the final cost of buying and implementing stones, especially on a large scale. There are ceramic stones in slab and even larger dimensions and they will have a more economical price than stones with the same dimensions. On the other hand, the installation of these materials will be faster and less laborious. Therefore, buyers' time and money are saved to a great extent.
These materials have high strength and show great resistance against different weather conditions and do not corrode against acidic and alkaline conditions. Another advantage of ceramic stone over stone is the ability to print on their surface. This issue will open the hands of buyers to buy the desired ceramic design. It will also be possible to print logos on ceramics for various companies and organizations.

The difference between ceramic and stone
Ceramic and stone are both good choices for covering; Because both have low water absorption and show high resistance to environmental conditions. Due to the glazed ceramic surface, these materials are less susceptible to stains than stone and are easier to clean. Also, the desired design can be printed on the surface of the glaze, and you can use ceramics with wood or stone designs. It has a longer life than ceramic and therefore it is a safer option for making all kinds of coverings. Ceramic and stone can be installed in the building in the same way, but today ceramic installation is done using special adhesives and rails, which also reduces the dead load on the building. Ceramic wall stone can remain for years without changing its appearance or reducing its strength after being installed as a wall covering. However, using stone as a wall covering will create higher strength and last longer.
