NEXION – Sintered Surfaces

No, NEXION is an Indian company and the product Made in India. The plant is in Morbi, Gujarat.

Yes, it is a tile but not a conventional ceramic or vitrified tile, it is a sintered porcelain tile.

Ceramic Tiles are made of clay and a mixture of other minerals and solvents. They are heated to high temperatures and are resistant to force and stain.
Vitrified Tiles are made by fusing 60% silica and 40% clay. They are also a type of ceramic tile made by warming the blend or setting it under high temperatures. They gain a glass-like texture in the process. Longevity, low porosity, scratch resistance, and low maintenance are some characteristics of vitrified tiles.
Porcelain Tiles are made from very fine clay that is fired at very high temperatures to remove more moisture from the tile resulting in a hard and dense tile. The density of porcelain tile makes it ideal for high traffic areas in homes and most commercial properties

In layman terms, sintering is a process in which the ceramic tiles are heated at very high temperatures (1150°C – 1250°C) which evaporates all moisture, air bubbles etc and makes the tile extremely compact, hard and non-porous.

Porcelain tiles are incredibly hard, impenetrable, scratch resistant, non-porous, weather proof, don’t fade, fire and frost resistant and have very high abrasion resistance. These can be used indoors, outdoors, on floors, facades, walls, counter tops….anywhere.

No, compared to other imported brands it is certainly not. In fact, it is almost half the price if not more. However, NEXION is expensive than normal ceramic and vitrified tiles.

A. None, all other Indian brands are inferior. This is the best brand for porcelain tiles.
NEXION has a state of the art manufacturing facility and known for its high quality and design standards. It can be compared to imported brands, NEOLITH, FIANDRE, TECHLAM, LAMINAM etc.

NEXION also follows “5555” norms, the highest quality standard in the world. This ensures each tile is top grade in terms of brilliance, geometrical dimensions, surface quality, chemical properties, flatness, water apsorption, breaking strength, module of rupture, coefficient of linear thermal expansion, resistance to thermal shock, shade control across batches.

6mm and 9mm. Very soon we will offer thinner and thinner, both.

300x600mm, 600x600mm, 600x1200mm, 800x800mm, 800x1600mm, 1200x1200mm, 800X2400mm and 1200 x 2400mm. But, all styles/designs/varieties are not available in all sizes, so please check with us before ordering.

SCS – Sintered Compact Surface is a surface achieved by exposing tiles to a very high temperature and pressure whereby the atomic configuration undergoes a change, it becomes diffused and dense. One can manufacture tiles with similar properties to porcelain tiles. One can manufacture lightweight thin tiles with greater strength and very low porosity.
DRY GRANULA – It is better than SCS and one can get flatter, more reflective “wavefree” surfaces.

The majority of floor tiles these days are given an anti slip rating. This rating comes in the form of an ‘R’ value. The ‘R’ stands for ‘ramp test’. This ‘R’ value ranges from R9, which has a small degree of slip resistance, right up to R13, which is the highest slip resistance. This ‘R’ value shows the degree of slip resistance the tile has.
R13 is the resistance recommended by many professionals for public wet areas such as showers in a changing room and pool surrounds, whereas R9 and R10 values are often used for domestic situations such as bathrooms and kitchens.
