Tiles Substitute materials
Lately, however, this heavy increase in demand - in some instances combined with difficulties in maintaining formerly high production standards - has led to openings for materials similar to the classic ones. Materials which have quickly become serious competitors for them from the economic standpoint and in a number of cases from the qualitative.
One of the first tiles substitute materials to appear on the market was Galala, an Egyptian medium-grained variety that initially enjoyed great success, thanks especially to its low price. Unfortunately, after being sawed, much of output reveals a dot-like powdery efflorescence and this big defect has provoked major cutbacks in market demand.
Right now most of the new-generation materials come mainly from Iran and, to a lesser extent, from Turkey. They are often given names that directly relate to the classic types of marble, such as Royal Botticino (also known as Cream Prestige), New Filetto Rosso, New Crema Marfil, Dany Beige, etc.
