Ceramic Floor Tile is a Favorite for Bathrooms

Ceramic floor tile has been used for centuries due to its many benefits. It is a very flexible design element used in interior and exterior designs of homes, hospitals and other commercial buildings. Tiles can be custom made to match your plan.  Ceramic tiles are made of clay that is baked at very high temperatures and one can make any design they like when they are getting baked.

Ceramic floor tile can be cut easily using tools such as electric saws with diamond blades. Various flooring designs can be achieved by laying them in specific colors. Coloring and glazing the tiles is easy and many people like to make tiles as a hobby. Artists also work with tiles to create new artwork. These pieces of art cost a lot of money and are extremely durable.  If you search the market well, you can find various types of both glazed and unglazed tiles. Choose from a 4” tile to a 20” tile for your flooring needs. Most tiles you find on the market have a square shape while the smaller ones also come in rectangular form.

The most popular style of the ceramic floor has always had a checkered pattern. Homeowners in the 18th century preferred checkered floors and so did the restaurants and other businesses. The black and white combination looks classy even today. Square tiles of any size can be laid at an angle to create a checkered pattern.

The retro looks are in and large black and white ceramic tiles look great in both the kitchen and the bathroom. To prevent slip and fall incidents you can get the tiles installed near the poolside. These are also a good candidate for the outdoor kitchen where you can serve friends and family over the weekends.
