What types of tiles are there?
Ceramic
tiles can be glazed or unglazed. Glazed tiles are available plain or decorated and can be used on walls and floors.
Unglazed
ceramic floor tiles are more suited to commercial and industrial settings, but can be used in laundries & utility rooms.
Quarry
tiles are made from natural clay, squeezed through an extruding machine, and then fired. They are mostly available in terracotta colour.
Porcelain
tiles are ceramic tiles but with very low absorbency. These are hard wearing and can be used on walls or floors.
Mosaics
are very small tiles. They can be glazed or unglazed and made from porcelain, ceramic, glass or natural stone.
