LINEAR CERAMIC TILE

Ceramic tile is a durable and versatile option frequently used in kitchens, bathrooms, and select outdoor living areas. Naturally resistant to heat, moisture, and stains, it’s ideal for floors, backsplashes, and shower surrounds. Its low-maintenance nature, combined with a wide variety of styles, makes ceramic tile a practical and stylish choice for both residential and commercial projects.

Ceramic tiles are made from natural clay that is shaped and fired at high temperatures in a kiln. Many tiles are coated with a glaze before firing, which adds color, enhances durability, and improves water resistance. The result is a resilient, long-lasting tile ready for installation.

Most glazed ceramic tiles do not require sealing. However, grout lines, especially cement-based ones, should be sealed to prevent moisture and stains. Unglazed or textured tiles may also benefit from sealing in high-traffic or wet areas.

Ceramic tiles are easy to clean using warm water and a mild cleaner. Avoid abrasive tools or harsh chemicals that could damage the glaze. For grout, periodic resealing helps maintain its appearance and prevents discoloration. Refer to the TCNA guidelines for detailed maintenance instructions.
