Ceramic tiles are durable, water-resistant and resistant to stains and spillages.
They are available in numerous colours, patterns and shapes and are made of natural
clay, decorated on one side with coloured glaze. The surfaces are normally glazed,
but do not have such a highly polished shine as wall tiles, while others are matt or
have an unglazed finish.
Unglazed tiles must be sealed with the correct proprietary sealant (recommended by
the manufacturer) once laid.
