[h=3]Grès Porcelain stoneware is a ceramic with a compact, hard, coloured and non-porous body. The word “grès” means that the ceramic body of the tile is extremely vitrified, that is to say compact, hence the exceptional great resistance.
The result is a lean clay body, little refractory, fired in a kiln (at 1200-1400 C°) until it reaches a non-porous vitrification and a complete water-proofing.[/h]

Thanks. Is this same as vitrified tiles?Is there any advantage over normal ceramic? Is the normal tiling charge more/less than ceramic? apologies for lots of questions :-(
