No, we utilize two different printing processes: sublimation printing and CPP. Sublimation printing involves dyes penetrating into a polymer layer on the tiles, while CPP involves high-temperature kiln-firing, fusing ceramic pigments into the tile.
Tile sizes may vary slightly due to differences in suppliers and production batches. Please contact us for measurements from our current stock.
CPP tiles are 100% scratch and UV resistant and can be used for flooring and in swimming pools. Sublimation tiles may scratch with enough force.
We offer gloss, satin, and matte finishes for sublimation printed tiles, and a semi-gloss finish for CPP tiles.
Printing quality depends on the image, tile finish, and type. Gloss tiles offer photo-like quality, while matte tiles have a softer look with less contrast.
Sublimation printed tiles should be cleaned with a diluted non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth. CPP tiles can be cleaned like regular tiles.
