Ceramic tile has been used for centuries, over 4000 years. With new manufacturing techniques today's ceramic tile designs are virtually indistinguishable from natural marbles, slates and other stone products, and offer many more options in pattern, texture, color and overall appearance than most other floor covering materials. Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles are great choices for bathrooms, kitchens, foyers, sun rooms and great rooms.

Ceramic wall tiles are normally less durable than tile designed specifically for flooring. Most wall tile is glazed with a semi-gloss or matte surface. The glazed surface has a very low slip resistance and becomes slippery when wet. Therefore, glazed wall tile is much more suited for wall or countertop applications rather than floors.

Glazed Ceramic Tile is comprised of two basic elements, clay and water. The clay is formed, dried, glazed and then baked at high temperatures in kilns. Porcelain tile is made from a blend of fine-grain clays and other minerals to produce a very dense body, which makes it highly resistant to moisture, staining and wear. Because of these features, porcelain tile will withstand years of heavy foot traffic in both interior and exterior applications while maintaining its color and beauty.

Like the natural products themselves tiles will vary in shading. This adds to the beauty and design of the products. To determine the overall performance and durability of the glazed surface of ceramic tile, they are rated for Scratch Hardness (Scratch Resistance), Wear, and Water Absorption.
