Ceramic Tiles Production in Europe Witnesses Adoption of Decarbonisation In Order To Meet European Union Targets for Carbon Emission
Ceramic tiles are very popular building and construction materials nowadays. They are highly durable and require little maintenance. Their aesthetic appeal and versatility make them ideal for most building applications. They can be used on walls, floors and roofs to create different textures and patterns for aesthetic appeal. These tiles are also versatile because they can be cut into different shapes, sizes, and colors.
Ceramic tiles are very
thin rigid objects, usually rectangular or square in shape. A tile is simply a
made-up piece of durable material like porcelain, slate, stone, wood, or metal,
usually used for covering floors, roofs, walls or other solid surfaces like
tabletops. Ceramic tiles are made to withstand heavy weights and resist damage
from water absorption and temperature change. These tiles can be used to make a
number of things, from roofing to wall covering to furniture coverings.
Clay, sand, and glass
are used in manufacturing of ceramic tiles, which makes them environmentally
friendly. These tiles can also be made from recycled materials. These tiles are
known to offer energy efficiency by maintaining low temperatures during summer.
These tiles also offer insulation during winter. In the U.S., growing number of
housing units is expected to boost demand for ceramic tiles. For instance, according
to the U.S. Census Bureau, in February 2020, there were 1,464,000, building
permits, 1,599,000 housing starts, and 1,316,000, housing completions in
the U.S.
Production of ceramic
tiles contributes to carbon emission, which has prompted companies to decarbonise
the industry. For instance, in February 2021, Iberdrola, Spain-based multinational
electric utility company, partnered with Porcelanosa, a ceramic tiles producer,
to drive the decarbonisation of ceramic production in order to meet European
Union targets for carbon emission.
