Definition
Vitrified Tiles are the absolute standard for flooring in modern Indian residential and commercial real estate. They are manufactured by subjecting a mixture of clay, silica, quartz, and feldspar to extreme hydraulic pressing and ultra-high kiln temperatures. This "vitrification" glassifies the tile, making it incredibly hard, highly scratch-resistant, and almost completely non-porous (water absorption under 0.5%), meaning it rarely stains.
Practical Example
A homeowner replacing older marble floors opts for "Double-Charge" Vitrified Tiles in their living room. Unlike natural marble which requires tedious laying, grinding, and chemical polishing over weeks, the vitrified tiles are precision-cut at the factory. The contractor lays them using a thin-set adhesive, finishes the grouting, and the floor is ready to walk on the very next day.
Application in Superwise
Finishing items like Vitrified Tiles are prone to high breakage during transit. In Superwise, the supplier delivers 500 boxes of tiles. The storekeeper inspects them and finds 20 boxes completely shattered. They generate a Material Delivery Challan (MDC) for only 480 intact boxes, attaching photos of the broken tiles. Superwise ensures the accounts team only pays the supplier for the unbroken 480 boxes, capturing the loss instantly.
