Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile is formed a a mixture of clay, talc, and other minerals that undergo a "firing" process at high temperatures and pressures. Typical applications include kitchen and bathroom floors as well as decorative walls.

Selecting the Right Tile

Depending on the area of the home where the tiles are installed, it is important to consider factors such as slip and abrasion resistance, particularly for flooring applications. For wet areas such as showers and tubs (or exteriors) it is crucial that vitreous or impervious tiles be selected. For countertop applications, additional factors such as chemical and impact resistance should be considered.
