Ceramic Tile for Edmonton, Alberta Homes

Ceramic tile is a popular choice for bathroom and en suite areas. The vivid colors and glazing techniques create unique patterns and designs.

Ceramic tile (non-porcelain tiles) are generally made from a mixture of clay and other materials, and then fired at high temperatures. The result is a hard body, referred to as a bisque. It may be left untreated (unglazed) or it may receive a glazed wear layer which adds color and design.

Types of Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile is a term which generally describes all tile types and classifications. Raw materials are combined to give the bisque of the ceramic tile its strength and stability. The technologies available to manufacture the ceramic floor tile or ceramic wall tile product also help with this process. Our types of ceramic tile include:

• Monocottura Tile: A common ceramic tile achieved by a single firing process.
• Bicottura Tile: A weaker ceramic tile (not to be used on floors).
• Porcelain Tile: A tile fired at the most extreme temperatures; porcelain has a minimal absorption rate. Porcelain floor tiles are extremely durable and withstand extensive traffic. We highly recommend this type of tile be used for your project.

Ceramic Floor Tile and Ceramic Wall Tile

Ceramic floor tile comes in a variety of textures and colors. Ceramic tile features smooth, textured, or polished surfaces ceramic floor tile or ceramic wall tile can be a wonderful addition for any home.

Decorative ceramic tile flooring is great for any kitchen tile or bathroom tile project. For areas where water absorption is an issue or for floor areas with higher traffic areas, porcelain tile is a better choice.
