In homes and businesses across Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk & Cambridgeshire your ceramic surfaces bear the marks of daily life — scuffs, spills and dulling wear.
What if a simple deep clean could bring back the shine and extend the life of those tiles and worktops? Ceramic offers many faces, each suited to a specific task and traffic level. Understanding types and matching care prevents costly replacements down the road.
Types of Ceramic
- Glazed Porcelain
Densest and least porous, it resists stains and heavy footfall. Ideal for hallways, kitchens and bathrooms where spills and grit abound. - Unglazed Porcelain
Rougher surface helps grip underfoot. Suited to outdoor patios and utility rooms where slip resistance matters. - Glazed Earthenware
Thin and decorative, with a glassy surface. Best for splashbacks and low-traffic walls rather than busy floors. - Terracotta
Rustic charm and warmth but quite porous. Requires sealing before use on floors or countertops to ward off stains.
Applications and Performance
Glazed porcelain stands up to supermarket trolleys like a veteran boxer, shrugging off acid etching. Unglazed porcelain grips like a cliff face, making it perfect for garden terraces.
Earthenware decorates like art, adding flair to walls but wilts under constant foot traffic. Terracotta breathes and warms underfoot, yet absorbs spills if left unprotected.
Choosing the right ceramic is only half the story. Dirt settles into pores; grime dulls even the best glaze. Regular cleaning extends life and beauty.
Every tile surface benefits from targeted products and techniques that loosen trapped particles without scratching or leaving residue.
