Common Questions About Ceramic Tiles
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our products, services, and tile care
What are ceramic tiles?
Ceramic tiles are made from natural clay and minerals, shaped and fired at high temperatures to create a hard, durable surface. They are widely used for flooring and wall applications because of their versatility, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance. Ceramic tiles are available in a wide range of colors, sizes, textures, and finishes to suit different design styles.
What are vitrified tiles?
Vitrified floor tiles are a durable, low-porosity type tile created by mixing clay with elements like silica, quartz, and feldspar, then firing them at high temperatures having water absorption < 0.5%. They are scratch-resistant, long-lasting, and ideal for both heavy-traffic residential and commercial spaces.
What is the difference between ceramic and vitrified tiles?
Ceramic tiles are ideal for wall applications and light-to-medium traffic floors, while vitrified tiles are denser, less porous, and more suitable for heavy-traffic areas. The choice depends on usage, location, and performance requirements.

What makes mosaic tiles visually unique?
Mosaic tiles use small pieces (tesserae) arranged in patterns, offering a, textured,, and often artistic appearance that is more intricate than large-format tiles.
What is the difference between mosaic and "mosaic-look" tiles?
Authentic tile mosaics are made of individual small pieces and are more labor-intensive to install. “Mosaic-look” tiles are standard-sized tiles with a printed pattern that mimics the appearance of a mosaic.
Do I need spacers for mosaic tiles?
While mosaic sheets have pre-set gaps, spacers are often used between the sheets themselves to ensure consistent lines and a seamless finish across the entire surface.
