 CERAMIC
TILE:
Tile
can be installed on horizontal and vertical surfaces,
indoors and out, and used where it will be exposed to
water or to high heat. Ceramic tile and related
products can decorate virtually every room of the
house. Although it is most often seen in kitchens and
bathrooms, tile can be used as a practical floor
covering in an entry way or family room, a colorful
accent on stair risers, an easy-to-clean surface on a
coffee table, and a practical and good-looking
fireplace surround and hearth. Tile is an efficient
solar energy collector and, installed on the floor of
a sunroom or greenhouse, will retain and radiate heat.
Outside, tile can be used to pave a patio, cover steps
and risers, or to decorate a fountain or a low wall.
The
variety of tile colors, shapes, and sizes currently on
the market presents a creative challenge to designers-
both professional and amateur. You can find glazed
ceramic tiles in a rainbow of fashion colors. Hues
range from quiet neutrals o blazing primaries, from
pretty pastels to dramatic dark colors. Unglazed
tiles, once featured only in terra-cotta, now come in
a full range of earth tones, from the palest sand to
the darkest brown. There are tiles with dainty floral
decorations, crisp stripes, delft motifs, and numerous
other designs. Some tiles are handmade with uneven
edges and surface variations. Others are mass-produced
to look as if they were handcrafted. Many tiles are
textured; both for better grip underfoot and for an
interesting look.
 Ceramic
and stone tiled walls, floors and countertops are easy
to care for. Tile floors should be swept or vacuumed
regularly to remove gritty particles that might
scratch them. Routine cleaning consists of a quick
wipe with a damp mop or a sponge. Even when neglected
for a long time, a good wash will usually bring back
the sheen.

choose the right ceramic tile for your home.
