Two Classes of Ceramic Tile

There are three types of tile: glazed tile and unglazed tile.

Glazed tile

• Has a hard non-porous surface.
• They are more stain resistant than unglazed tile.
• Easy to clean.
• Great selection for a kitchen or bathroom.

Unglazed tile

• Does not have a top layer of glaze.
• Typically more dense and durable than glazed tile.
• More suitable for both interior and exterior high traffic applications or kid zones.

Porcelain tile

• Continues to gain popularity.
• Much harder and denser than other tile products because it is fired at a much higher temperature and is made up of 50% feldspar.
• Can be used for heavy traffic or commercial areas as well as both interior and exterior applications.
