INTRODUCTION
Ceramics is an inorganic, non-metallic solid
made up of metal or non-metal compounds
that have been shaped when soft and then
hardened when heated in high temperatures.
Ceramics may contain a crystalline or partly
crystalline structure, or it can be amorphous
The earliest were pottery objects made from
clay, usually from dirt mixed with water. It can
be by itself or mixed with other materials,
when soft it is moulded into a desired shape or
object then hardened in the fire. Later
ceramics were painted, glazed and fired in the
kiln to create a smooth surface.
Hard
Brittle

• Vitrified tile is basically a non-porous ceramic
tile, these tiles are most commonly used for
vitrified flooring as a replacement to marble
and granite flooring and are available in a vast
variety of designs and colours. Vitrified tiles is
made by hydraulic pressing a mixture of clay,
silica, quartz, and feldspar. Thus creating a
Vitrified tile which are hard with low porosity
• Vitrified tiles are formed by the process of
vitrification hence it is a very strong and
homogeneous material. Clay is combined with
feldspar and quartz , all the materials change
to a molten liquid glass sate and then solidify
to make vitrified tiles a very hard material.

INTRODUCTION
Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite and dolomite.
The marble rock is typically composed of an interlocking mosaic of carbonate crystals.
Marble is a type of metamorphic rock that has rich veining and is available in a variety of colors. Marble is more porous than granite and is not
recommended for kitchen flooring unless honed and then sealed on a regular basis.
Marble is a crystalline, compact variety of metamorphosed limestone, consisting primarily of calcite and dolomite or a combination of both
minerals.
CHARACTERISTICS • Texture - granular. Grain size - medium grained; can see interlocking calcite crystals with the naked eye. Hardness - hard,
although component mineral is soft . Colour - variable - pure marble is white . Mineralogy - calcite. Other features - generally gritty to touch. Uses -
building stone; dimension stone for building facings, paving etc; cut into blocks and cut for monuments, headstones etc (wears over time due to
softness of calcite, prone to acid rain damage whiting material in toothpaste, paint and paper.

INTRODUCTION
• natural type of flooring.
• asiest form of material available for construction of
building. The method of constructing a mud floor is
quite simple.
• Good quality and clean mud is first selected.
• Then small quantities of chopped straw are mixed
in it along with water to make a consistent paste.
• Chopped Straws are mixed to prevent the mud
floor from cracks during drying.
• Then about 25cm (10”) thickness of this paste is
applied on already prepared floor bed.
• After that, the floor is rammed properly to get a
compacted, even and level surface of about 15cm
(6”) thickness.No water should be used during the
process of ramming.
• Mud floors have to be maintained at least once or
twice a week
• Sometimes, cow-dung is also mixed with earth and
a thin layer of this mix is spread over the
compacted layer to give texture.
• Mud floor is maintained by giving a thin cement
cow-dung wash (1:2 to 1:3) once or twice a week.

INTRODUCTION
• Concrete is universally used in floor slabs.
• Normally, these floor slabs are covered with
another flooring material such as
marble/granite, tiles, carpeting or wood.
• However, Concrete floors that are not covered
with another material are gaining popularity in
retail stores, restaurants, warehouses and other
commercial buildings since it provides a low-
cost yet highly durable flooring surface.
• Concrete flooring is extremely tough and
resilient and is able to withstand heavy weight
and very hard.
• Composition: Concrete is produced by mixing
cement with fine aggregate (sand), coarse
aggregate (gravel or crushed stone), water, and
various chemicals called admixtures which
control setting time and plasticity.
• Thickness: Its thickness varies from 25mm to
50mm.
• Weight: Concrete has a lot of dead weight.
ADVANTAGE
• heapest flooring
• Easy installation
• Highly durable
• Finish: Concrete can be polished to a smooth shine but is tricky to finish with
acrylicbased coatings.
