Ceramic tile flooring

Ceramic tile flooring is a lovely way to add beauty and value to your home, while investing in a durable, economical surface.

Ceramic is produced by mixing clay, water, and various minerals (depending on the type of ceramic) into a paste and firing the paste in a kiln. The result is an extremely hard stone-like tile that is perfect for high-traffic areas in a home or business.

Ceramics aren't just those familiar black-and-white porcelain tiles, either. These days, flooring manufacturers have created dozens of varieties of ceramic flooring that mimic the look and texture of natural stone but are less expensive, easier to install, easier to clean, and more durable.

Ceramic will easily outlast almost any other type of flooring. Not only is it extremely scratch-resistant, but it is also totally fireproof. Lit cigarettes, hot pans, radiators, and even open flames will not burn, scorch or melt ceramic tiles, making them the ideal flooring for kitchens and other hot spots. But they're not just for kitchens; there are enough colors, sizes, and shapes of ceramic tile to make it appropriate for every room of your house. What's more, ceramic tile absorbs almost no moisture, making it stain-resistant and very easy to clean.
