SIMEC™ Vitrified Tiles are an excellent option for your Home

Hardwood floors are attractive, elegant and stylish for your home. Unhappily they are also quite fragile and involve a lot of protection and care to maintain their great looks. If you cannot stand by the time to keep your hardwood floors well cared for, why not adopt SIMEC™ Vitrified Tiles instead??

Our vitrified tiles are a gorgeous option and these are tougher and harder than hardwood floors. Natural stone could get damaged by wet which is not a dilemma for vitrified tiles.

 Now you may think what is Vitrified Tile?

Vitrification is a method that combines 60 percent silica and 40 percent clay mutually to form Vitrified Tiles. The entire process when they are manufactured makes them solid and non-porous. This gives them an added advantage over natural stones like marble that is porous and requires care.

Almost maintenance free, vitrified tile is non abrasive so you can use them in places of high traffic with effortlessness. There is one more chief advantage that our tiles have over other flooring preferences. Most of the designs on the vitrified tiles are printed using soluble salts which are pigments that penetrate the surface to about 2 to3mm of depth. This actually means that the designs on our vitrified tiles are at a depth of 25% of the tiles thickness! We also have SIMEC™ Multi Charged Vitrified tiles which means micro colored powder is feed inside the tile body not only the surface. Since the tiles are so stiff and non abrasive, the design is almost permanent. Even some of the floor polishes only stay alive on the surface and have nil resistance to abrasion.

soluble salt & multi charge collection

Our Multi Charged Vitrified Tiles are available in variety of shades, more color then you will find in natural stones.

Any change in temperature or moisture does not enlarge or contract our vitrified tiles like it would do a wooden floor. This makes our tiles an application free of any joints. You can fashion uniform joints. You can form uniform gaps with the use of spacers in between the tiles while fixing them and then filling it up with grout. This is recommended when the tiles may have to bear extreme temperatures, hot or cold.

All you need to do to SIMEC™ vitrified tiles in the name of maintenance is sweeping.

Idyllically, the festival of Holi is meant for a joyous celebration with carefree attitude. It is done in order to greet the colors of spring. Though, unfortunately the meaning of Holi has not remained the similar in last few decades owing to the ruthless commercialization and source of hazardous Holi products. So, unhappily the modern Holi does not stand for everything beautiful. In fact it has become yet another source of environmental degradation. To de-pollute Holi and evoke in again into an environment friendly fiesta, a lot is required to done.

In this article we have mentioned certain ways in which you can do little steps from your side to change the Holi in your locality into an ECO FRIENDLY HOLI.

• Environment Friendly Holi

Holi being a social celebration is not limited to one home, so in order to convert it into an environment friendly festival, contribution is required from every family of the society. SHREEJI’s dream of eco friendly and non-hazardous Holi can be true only when every individual who participates in the festival, do maximum efforts from his/her side not to hamper the environment in any way. For this, mass level awareness of people regarding an environment friendly celebration is required. People need to understand that if some little changes in the celebration pattern can bring worth results for the environment, how they can then shift towards the change in the social sector.

• Eco Friendly Holi Tips

        Judicious Use of Water

In a situation when most of the Indian cities are facing acute water scarcity, it is obviously a matter of concern that the precious commodity like water is being wasted in such manner during the Holi celebrations. On the day of Holi, people out of enthusiasm and fun saturate each other with buckets of water and children throw water balloons at each other, thus the water that could have used for next few weeks is finished in a day creating more difference in the demand and supply of water. Though, if we just people to celebrate a dry Holi only with ‘Gulal’, it would seem an unfamiliar concept to most of the people. Though this celebration would have been ideal but as most of the people would not agree to it, the judicious use of water on the day is one thing that must be kept in concern if you wish to celebrate an eco friendly Holi.

        Avoid Using Chemical Colors

In ancient time, the Holi colors were prepared from the flowers of trees like Indian Coral Tree (parijat) and the flame of the Forest (kesu). However, with the influx of dry chemical colors, people stopped taking pence for extracting the flowers colors and with time the use of chemical and aluminum paints increased during the celebrations. These chemical dyes not only prove extremely dangerous to individual’s skin but are also hazardous for environment as lots of pollution is caused during its preparation as well as after their mergence with water cycle.

        Eco Friendly Bonfire

The burning of fuel wood in order to perform the Holi Bonfire or the Holika Dahan presents is another factor related to Holi that raises a factor of concern. Umpteen useful fuel woods is wasted during this ritual, this not only leads to the cutting of trees but also unnecessary pollution in return. Instead of wooden logs, it would be ideal if people use this Holika Dahan for burning their waste material.

But when there is fun and festivity, it is so easy to get carried away. However, why risk your life and nature for short-lived exhilaration?

With best regards, SHREEJI ceramic wishing you all a joyous and vibrant ecofriendly Holi.

Holi hai!!

Tips: Calculate how much tile you need?

Wall Tiles

Techniques for estimating how many tiles you need are to calculate the height of the wall and the height of your tiles. You can then assess how many tiles will be needed to go up the wall (count half tiles as full ones). Do the same for the width of the wall, then multiply the numbers? This will give you the number of tiles needed to tile the wall you have measured. Work your way around the room and adjust the amount for windows, doorways.

Vitrified Tiles

There are many different types of vitrified tiles available. Vitrified tiles are generally thicker and larger than wall tiles.

One of the easiest methods for estimating how many tiles you need is to measure the floor area in one direction. You can then estimate how many tiles will be needed to go across the floor (count half tiles as full ones). Do the same for the other direction of the floor and the width of the tile. Then multiply the numbers. This will give you the total number of tiles needed to tile the floor area. Purchase some extra tiles to allow for wastage.

*Always purchase your tiles in one batch and work from several boxes to achieve a good blend of shading.
