Ceramic Tile
The Elegance of Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tile is a natural product made up of clay, a number of other naturally-occurring
minerals and water. Glazed ceramic tile has a ceramic coating applied to
the tile body which gives the tile its color and finish.
Glazed ceramic
tile is a popular choice for your interior floors and walls and
offers unlimited decorating possibilities.
We carry a fine selection
of ceramic tile choices from Daltile and Mohawk.

Some characteristics of glazed ceramic tile are:
- Durable - a properly installed ceramic tile
will outperform and outlast nearly any other floor covering product
created for the same application.
- Easy care - glazed ceramic tile resists stains, odors,
and dirt and can be cleaned up with a damp mop or sponge or common household
cleaners such as Mr. Clean, Top Job or Spic and Span.
- Scratch resistant - Grade III and Grade IV glazed ceramic
tiles are extremely resistant to scratching and you never have to worry
about a cut or tear like you do with some other types of floors.
- Environmentally friendly - ceramic tile is manufactured
using natural materials and does not retain odors, allergens, or bacteria.
- Beautiful and Versatile - modern ceramic manufacturing
technology has created virtually an unlimited number of colors, sizes,
styles, shapes, and textures that will add rich beauty and character to
any room decor.
- Fire Resistant - ceramic tile doesn't burn nor emit
toxic fumes. A lighted cigarette, when dropped on the floor, even if allowed
to sit, will not do any damage to ceramic tile. Even hot kitchen pans
or skillets will not scorch or melt the surface of glazed ceramic tile.
- Water Resistant - most glazed ceramic tile has a dense
body that permits little or no accumulation of moisture. This means spills
from common liquids found in a kitchen are not a big concern.
