It is defined as a ceramic surface component, glazed or unglazed, that is fired at a temperature sufficiently high to produce specific, desirable characteristics and properties. This relatively broad definition encompasses different types of ceramic tile, all of which collectively make up what is commonly known as the &#;ceramic tile family.&#; 

The family includes:

• Wall tile 

• Mosaic tile 

• Porcelain tile 

• Pressed floor tile

• Quarry tile 

Each of these tile subsets is ceramic tile and thus shares ceramic tile&#;s general benefits. For example, it is water-resistant, scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and flame-resistant. Many ceramic tile options are also frost-and slip-resistant. Each subset is produced slightly differently and may consequently have additional advantages that lend themselves to specific applications. 

These qualities make all types ideal for a wide variety of uses, most commonly flooring, backsplashes, and shower tile but also extending to just about any space and application inside &#; and outside &#; your home. 

In addition to the functional advantages of ceramic tiles, it&#;s also a smart choice for making a style impact with an endless variety of designs, patterns, shapes, colors, sizes, and textures. The variety available within the ceramic tile family allows you to meet your specific aesthetic needs, all with the quality and durability benefits of ceramic tile.
