What is the difference between modern tiles and ancient
It is not difficult to distinguish natural tiles. When tapping a metal stick, she makes a pure sonorous sound. A rattling sound will indicate the presence of a defect, such as a crack, or other “non -tiled” composition. One of the first samples of industrial production of groove tiles – “Marelskaya” – appeared in the 19th century.
Modern types of grooves are somewhat reminiscent of ancient samples, but more technological. They have leafing, grooves, ears and other elements that fit the attachment and installation of tiles. Later, a person’s creation – cement -sand tiles is an alternative in conditions of deficiency of the desired clay for high -quality tiles. It is not required for its production either a stove or firewood. Only natural, purely washed sand, cement and special dye with iron oxide imitating tile color and shade.
