About ceramic tile
Ceramic tile is made from clay that has been molded and then heated under extreme pressure. There are two main types. Porcelain tile is a ceramic material that contains feldspar crystal, which gives it its glasslike characteristics. Non-porcelain ceramic tile is the traditional variety made from any combination of minerals that include white, red, and brown clay.
Ceramic tile of either type can also come in glazed or unglazed varieties. Glaze is a glass-like surface coating that can be any color or pattern. This opens up a world of design possibilities while adding extra stain, scratch, and moisture resistance.
