Man-made ceramic tiles have been used around the world for over 4,000 years to cover floors, walls, and countertops. The application versatility of ceramic tile is part of its desirability. Ceramic tile works well in just about any room in your home - from kitchens and baths to dining and living rooms. The many characteristics of tile to choose from include: stone or glazed finish, large or small tiles, color of tile and grout, and texture of the tile. The available combination of features can suit any taste and design color scheme. Ceramic tile is naturally fire resistant (it doesn’t burn) and it will not fade in sunlight.
Ceramic tile is very popular in warm climates as it is cool to the touch. It is also very easy to care for. A damp mop or sponge is all that is needed to keep ceramic tile clean. Common household cleaners can also be used. Glazed tiles are more water and stain resistant than unglazed tiles. Ceramic tiles can break, but repair is easy. For installation, ceramic tile needs a sturdy subfloor due to the weight of the tiles.
