Tile Installation
 Ceramic or marble tile is an excellent flooring material and can be used throughout
your Florida home. Decorative tiles are also frequently used for countertops, fireplace surrounds and backsplashes. While you'll probably want to shop around for your tiles, you need to make sure you hire the best installer for the job.
At Colonial Custom
Painting, our professional Tile installers can install any type of tile in
your home. What types of tiles are there?
 |
Ceramic tiles can be glazed or unglazed. Glazed
tiles are available plain or decorated and can be used on walls and floors.
|
|
|
Unglazed ceramic floor tiles are more suited to
commercial and industrial settings, but can be used in laundries and utility
rooms. They are available with a non-slip profile. |
|
|
Quarry tiles are made from natural clay,
squeezed through an extruding machine, and then fired. They are mostly available
in terracotta, black and white colors. |
|
|
Terracotta tiles are also made from local
clays. Terracotta means "cooked earth" and these products tend to be very
absorbent, so need sealing when used on the floor. |
|
|
Porcelain tiles are ceramic tiles, but with a
very low absorbency. They are usually made from kaolin clays, feldspar, silica
and coloring oxides and are fired at about 1200oC. Porcelain tiles are hard
wearing and can be used on walls or floors. |
|
|
Mosaics are very small tiles, usually less than
35cm2. Mosaics can be glazed or unglazed and made from porcelain, ceramic, glass
or natural stone. |
|
|
Natural stone products; limestone, marble,
granite and slate are quarried from the earth. Some are extremely hard, and some
quite soft. Some may need sealing. |
