Glazed vitrified tiles that have been polished are the same as glazed vitrified tiles that have had polish applied to increase their shine. PGVT is the common name for these tiles.

PGVTs are available in high gloss finish and are perfect if you want to instantly upgrade the plush factor of your home or office. PGVTs are best for low to medium-traffic areas, where they don’t face much harsh usage and have sufficient dust avoidance. Dust can wear off the polish over time. So, these tiles need proper and regular cleaning to maintain their shine.

Any form of design, surface texture, etc., may be applied to this glazed surface. It might improve the floor's attractiveness. It is known as digital vitrified tiles in the marketplace. They are available in glossy matte, rustic, wooden, and other finishes as well.

Double Charge Vitrified Tiles

Double-charge vitrified tiles have a more durable and scratch-resistant surface. They pass through a press that uses two pigment layers to print the pattern on them (two kinds of colours are fed into the machine).

As a result, the top layer of tiles thickens by 3 to 4 mm. The finishes for double-charge vitrified tiles are glossy and matte. Due to their thick upper layer, these tiles can handle higher footfall without visible signs of wear and tear. That is why these are recommended mostly for commercial spaces with high footfall, such as retail stores and malls.
