Abstract

Using the newly developed whole-body decoration technology, manufacturers can streamline their production process and create porcelain tiles that resemble natural stones. Natural stones have steadily increased in popularity, both in residential as well as commercial projects over the last few years. Consumers are particularly attracted to the natural colors and texture, which spreads a feeling of warmth in the environment. However, high price and maintenance are the two reasons that drive the customer away from choosing the material. A ceramic tile that imitates the looks and feel of natural stone is proving to be the apt replacement of stones for nature loving consumers. Ceramic tiles enhance the interiors of homes and offices, for which design is a major factor that influences buyers' decision, followed by price.

Development of multi-screen and roto-drum technology has made it possible to manufacture tiles that replicate stone. Technological developments have aided in increasing color shades and variety of tiles available in the market. Earlier only a few shades that replicate marble were available. Ceramic tiles are now available in large array of sizes, formats, and designs.
