Ceramic tile is simply a mixture of clays which have been shaped and fired at high temperatures, resulting in a hard body. This hard body may then be left untreated or it may receive a glazed wearlayer. The glaze is a glass that has been sprayed, poured, dropped and/or silk screened onto the surface of the tile. It is then fused and hardened by means of tremendous heat (kiln fired). The colors of the glaze are made from a mixture of minerals such as gold, silver, zinc, copper, mercury, cobalt and many others.

Ceramic tile combines beauty with outstanding durability and has been praised for its versatility of use. Therefore, while carpet and vinyl are produced mainly for floors, the area of usage for ceramic tile is limitless.
