Tiles for interior and exterior

history

material Since ancient times, man has developed a clay processing technology and the production of ceramics.It was used both in the front as well as in the interior decoration of their homes.It was believed that this material perfectly removes fatigue and eliminate family conflicts.

Over time, this material has not lost its popularity.In the mid-twentieth century it began to be used to create small sculptures and architectural design, in most cases, its popularity is due to its properties.

Fireclay filler - a type of kaolin and refractory clay that is fired to complete loss of ductility, with some degree of sintering.During firing, the water is removed from it, the related chemically.

product descriptions

Working composition is prepared by calcination in a rotary kiln at a specific temperature 1300-1500 ° C.First he crushed in special mills to get the fireclay powder, and then introduced the rest of the mass.Also used with broken firebrick in the same chemical composition to be purified from solution and have a low impurity content of not more than 10%.

Grain composition of the material has a great influence on heat resistance, gas permeability, strength and porosity shlakoustoychivost products.The larger grain fraction, the porosity of the product obtained, and thus would be less durable.The chemical composition of the grog includes the following elements: 42% - Al2O3, 0,5% - TiO2, 0,15% -Na2O, 1,0% - Fe2O3, 0,16% - CaO, 0,7% - K2O.

main advantages of refractory products are heat resistant (up to 1800 ° C), durability, resistance to adverse weather conditions, durability, frost resistance. For example, a brick of a material able to transfer 25-30 freeze-thaw cycles.Unlike plaster or concrete, fireclay bricks do not fade.

The disadvantage is the fact that at very frequent heating-cooling products lose their strength.Also in the production of chamotte emits large amounts of dust and chemical uses special resin which during firing is harmful to the environment.

Application fireclay

bulk density and fireclay density can be determined at ambient temperature.These properties affect the performance of refractory materials at high temperatures.This is the most important quality parameters for refractory fireclay products.

If you want to reduce the overall construction weight or improve thermal insulation, lightweight refractories are used.They include: fireclay lightweight, pure fatty clay, a mixture of sawdust, peat or other organic substances.

In the 50s of the last century tiles fireclay widespread.She lined with famous Moscow buildings: the hotel "Ukraine", Central grocery store and others.After half a century façade of fireclay, not only has not lost its appeal, but the weather conditions did not affect the finish of the facades.

Today it is possible to make grog with his hands, as if to join to create a unique interior, this is especially true for people who want to fill your home with beautiful and eco-friendly things made antique.It will be interesting and luxurious look like the facade of the building, and on the wall in the form of a mosaic.This stuff is really able to transform the look of the room and give it the necessary comfort.
