Composite products are clever innovations which make life easier in some way for the user. In essence, they consist of two or more materials with different properties which are combined to produce something with improved characteristics (i.e. something that’s lighter or more durable than its original counterparts). Porcelain is a type of composite ceramic material that is made from clay, feldspar, and kaolin. It’s fired at a higher temperature than general ceramics, making it harder and more dense. It also absorbs less water, so it’s perfect for outdoor areas and places with high moisture levels.
