Maybe if u can provide me with the tiles name or no,. I can check out for u. Is it the sales person from Hu* K**n* in Defu told you abt this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ceramic layer will "chipp off" easily, due to hi-temp treatment during formation. Sharp/heavy object fall upon will leave unreversible "marks". Homogeneous tile is harder, granite is the best for flooring. There are "cheap" granite produced in/by China. Indian granites most exp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
