Explain why the joints between natural stone tiles and panels are much narrower than those between ceramic tiles.
What will be an ideal response?
Natural stone panels are cut to precise dimensions. Ceramic floor tiles, on the other hand, are fired in a kiln after the clay, from which they are made, has been molded and pressed down to shape. The firing process results in variations in face dimensions of tiles, requiring a wider joint width between them than in natural stone tiles or panels.
