Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tile consists of clay fired at high temperatures to create a strong, long-lasting surface. There are two types of ceramic tile to choose from:
Made from natural red, brown or white clay, ceramic tile provides a softer, more porous surface that is ideal for indoor use.
Porcelain tile is denser and less porous than standard ceramic because it includes feldspar in its composition. It provides additional strength and moisture resistance that are great for bathrooms, kitchens and entryways.
Tile also comes in different finishes. Choose from glazed or unglazed options depending on your design goals and maintenance preferences.
Glazed tiles are fired twice with a glass-like coating that improves color, durability and resistance to stains and water.
Unglazed tiles are fired once and left in their natural form. They offer an earthy, matte look that works best with rustic or traditional spaces.
