Ceramic is fashionable and practical with its natural look, beautiful designs and durability. Ceramic tile is available in an infinite number of colors, sizes, shapes and finishes, so there is no limit to the beautiful, personalized designs you can create.
There are a lot of variations in how it's made which impact moisture resistance and ease of maintenance as well as impact and scratch-resistant properties.
Ceramic Tile Made when powdered clays and sand are pressed under 2,400 psi (pounds per square inch) into the desired tile shape. Next, the tile is glazed with different colors and silk screens, then fired at temperatures reaching 1,180° C or 2,500° F. The finished product is a durable, maintenance-free ceramic tile.
Ceramic tile is unmatched in durability and long-term cost savings. In studies conducted by independent laboratories, ceramic tile proved to be far more durable and to have less long-term cost of any material tested including vinyl, carpet and wood. (Long-term costs include material, installation, replacement needs and maintenance.)
