Tiles are a great material if you are looking for a perfect blend of durability and class. Available in a wide variety of colours, finishes, designs, textures, and materials, choosing the right tile for your space can feel like a Herculean task. You may feel like all tiles are pretty much the same, especially when it comes to material – aren\u2019t tiles just clay baked at high temperatures? But, in reality, there are minor technical nuances that set the tiles apart.<\/p>\n

Glazed Vitrified Tiles or GVT tiles are a popular tiling material.GVT tiles often pop up while searching for tiles, but along with them, you will see two more acronyms popping up – PGVT and DGVT.<\/p>\n

So, what are those tiles? And how do they differ from GVT tiles? Read on to know more!<\/p>\n

What Are GVT Tiles?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT)<\/a>\u00a0have a layer of glaze on the surface. On this layer of glaze any kind of design can be imprinted using high volume inkjet printers. This ensures any type of design and colour can be customised on the top 2-4mm layer of the tile. Manufactured using the process of vitrification, these tiles are durable and long lasting, with the top extra glaze layer adding to the strength of the tile.<\/p>\n

Available in a wide variety of colours, designs, and finishes, GVT tiles make for a popular flooring option, since they can withstand heavy foot traffic. Another advantage of using these tiles for the floor is that they are available in finishes such as matte, satin matte, and lapato that help increase traction and prevent slips and falls.<\/p>\n

But, this doesn\u2019t mean that the tile cannot be used on walls. GVT tiles are a great option for walls too, especially in high traffic zones where there is a high volume of people touching and staining walls. Since these tiles are easy to clean, often all you need is a wet mop and some soapy water to get rid of the stains and spots.<\/p>\n
