Difference between vitrified tile and ceramic tile?

Since the beginning of time, ceramic tiles have been the popular choice for counter tops, walls, floors and even in roofing in every home. Vitrified tiles on the other hand have the distinct facade of colored glass. The Word "vitrify" literally refers to the phrase "to change into glass or anything that looks like glass by undergoing heat process.

Ceramic are created from clay. The clay body is topped with a ceramic glaze. On the other hand, vitrified tiles are made by fusing silica and clay. The mixture are then heated or placed under high - fiery temperatures, which would then result to a non - porous tile with glass - like texture. The vitrified type doesn't need additional glaze to be added on to it.
