Ceramic Flooring Tiles - What is it?

Ceramic tile is made of clay and shale that has been baked and hardened in a kiln.

Tiles can be:
  • glazed (with fused facial finish)
    • have a surface that provides colour, design and ease of maintenance
    • greater range of colours
    • more resistant to stains
  • unglazed (with no surface glaze):
    • colour produced from the tile's composition and added pigments
    • better to wear
    • more slip-retardant because of the natural surface.
There are 4 types of ceramic tiles (depends on the clay composition in combination with the firing process, and whether the tile is glazed or unglazed):
  • glazed ceramic
  • quarry
  • porcelain
  • terracotta
