Tile Flooring FAQs

Ceramic tiles are made from clay heated to very high temperatures in a kiln. This process of “firing” the clay hardens it, creating a material useful for all kinds of applications.

When it comes to ceramic tile, there are two basic types: glazed and unglazed tile. Glazed tile has a non-porous coating added to it after it has been fired. Unglazed tiles have no additional coating. Because of their non-porous surfaces, glazed tiles work well in kitchens and baths. They are also popular because glazing presents options for various patterns and colors. Unglazed tiles tend to be a bit more durable and are great for a variety of interior and exterior uses.

All ceramic tiles are made from clay and kiln-fired. Porcelain tiles are a specific kind of ceramic tile made from a particular kind of clay. Whereas most ceramic tiles are made from red or white clay, porcelain tiles are made from light-colored clay with a slightly different chemical composition. When fired at high temperatures, Porcelain clay creates a tile that is more durable and moisture-resistant than other ceramic tiles.

Generally, tile flooring must be adhered to a subfloor with a tile adhesive or mortar. Once it has been secured, the joints between tiles must be sealed with grout to fill the space and create a uniform, secure flooring surface. Be sure to ask a Floor Store associate if you have specific questions about tile installation.

The beauty and life of your ceramic tile floors depend on how you care for it. Follow a proper cleaning routine to keep it looking great over time. A few easy steps can extend the life of your ceramic tile flooring solution.
