Ceramic tile
Ceramic tile is a mixture of clays and minerals that has been shaped, pressed, then fired at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees (F), resulting in a hard surface. The protective glaze that is applied before firing gives the ceramic tile added color and finish and makes it resistant to stains, odors, bacteria, and scratches.

Glazed tile
Colored, opaque, or transparent finish fused to the body of the tile by the firing process.
Unglazed tile
No protective finish on top.
Quarry tile
Quarry tile is an unglazed tile made from natural clay and shale. It has a thick, dense body with a high-resistance to moisture and staining. Like through-body porcelain tile, quarry tile is a consistent color throughout the tile. The surface quarry tile has a texture that provides natural slip resistance which can be further enhanced with additives. It is often used in commercial applications.

Porcelain tileLike ceramic tile, porcelain tile is resistant to stains, odors, bacteria, and scratches. It is also…
- denser and harder than most other tile
- highly stain and water resistant
- naturally hygienic with easy to clean surfaces that can be smooth, textured, or polished
- beautiful and durable, both in the home or in commercial applications
Through-body or through-color porcelain tiles have the durability and resilience of porcelain but when manufactured, the color pigment is mixed with the clay body powder, giving the finished tile a consistent color throughout the body of the tile. This helps minimize the appearance of any scratches, should they occur.

Mosaic tile
Mosaic tiles are typically very small tiles (1″ x 1″ or 2″ x 2″ are common sizes) that are often used to create a design within larger types of other tiles or as a stand-alone feature wall or floor. They are typically mounted to paper or mesh to create larger sheets for easier handling and installation. These sheets can be cut down to varying sizes and shapes, depending on the materials. Mosaic tiles can be made from porcelain, ceramic, stone, glass and even metal. They are often found in combinations of these materials to coordinate with other tiles, countertops, and décor.
