Glass Mosaic Tiles (Our Advanced) | Pools, bathrooms, feature walls | 4mm thickness (▲ from Base’s 3.5mm, ISO 10583), Iridescent effect (glass composition), Glossy surface (ASTM C1028), RoHS certified, ASTM F739 chemical resistance (withstands 50+ chemical exposures) | High durability, easy cleaning, aesthetic appeal, chemical resistance | Higher cost (▲ vs Base), requires professional installation, heavier than PVC tiles |
Ceramic Tiles (Industry Standard) | General indoor floors/walls | 3mm thickness, Non-glossy finish, ASTM C373 certified (water absorption ≤0.5%), Slip resistance (ASTM C1028: 0.5–0.6 coefficient) | Cost-effective, widely available, durable under normal use | Less slip-resistant when wet (0.4 coefficient ▼ vs glass), heavier than vinyl, limited design flexibility |
Porcelain Tiles (Industry Standard) | High-traffic areas, outdoor use | 6mm thickness, Water absorption <0.5% (ASTM C373), High compressive strength (≥40 MPa), Frost-resistant | Frost-resistant, extremely durable, versatile designs available | Heavy (▲ vs glass), difficult to cut, higher cost compared to ceramic |
Natural Stone Tiles (Industry Standard) | Luxury spaces, outdoor patios | Varies by material (e.g., marble: 5–8mm), Slip-resistant (ASTM C1028: 0.7–0.8 coefficient), Unique natural patterns | Unique aesthetics, long-lasting, eco-friendly | Prone to staining (requires annual sealing), inconsistent thickness (▲ variance vs porcelain), higher maintenance |
PVC Tiles (Industry Standard) | Commercial floors, temporary installations | Lightweight (▲ ease of installation), Flexible, Sound absorption (ASTM E989: 25–30 dB reduction), Moisture-resistant | Easy installation, cost-effective, lightweight | Not UV-resistant (▲ degradation risk outdoors), flammable (ASTM E84 ▼), limited durability in heavy traffic |
Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) (Industry Advanced) | Modern interiors, commercial spaces | 3–5mm thickness, Water-resistant (ASTM F1315: 24hr submersion), Slip-resistant (ASTM C1028: 0.6–0.7 coefficient) | Realistic wood/granite designs, easy to clean, resistant to scratches | May warp if submerged (▲ risk vs porcelain), not as durable as ceramic/porcelain (▲ wear rate), higher cost than PVC |
