Why are two different types of tiles mistaken for being the same? This is because resin tiles are designed to resemble terracotta tiles, inheriting their rich colors and beautiful shapes. However, resin tiles are made from high molecular polymers and have far surpassed terracotta tiles in terms of functionality, also compensating for many of their flaws. Due to their similar appearance, people also refer to resin tiles as resin terracotta tiles. Have you all understood the distinction now?
