Ceramic Tile Description
- Ceramic tile is typically used as flooring in kitchens and bathrooms, and it can be commonly found in entryways as well. Its diversity in color and style, especially when creating mosaic patterns, makes it a popular choice.
- Ceramic tile is primarily made of clay, but may include other elements such as quartz, kaolin, fritz, dolomite, cobalt, selenium, and talc. Ceramic tile composition has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
- Ceramic tile comes in an assortment of colors and styles. Sleek white tile is an option as are natural colors that cover a rich, earth-toned palate. In some design schemes, designers mix different tiles together and create a pattern. Tiles with the appearance of natural stone are also available.
- Regular care of your ceramic flooring, as with any flooring, is required. Sweep or vacuum at least once per week. Washing and mopping will remove tougher stains. Ceramic flooring is often used in wet parts of the home; it can withstand wear and tear better than wood or carpeting.
