What are other facts about ceramic you should know?
  • Ceramic tile is made of natural materials; therefore it is nontoxic and environmentally safe.
  • Due to the nature of manufacturing ceramic tiles, each individual "dyelot" may vary from existing samples. In compliance with the industry-wide standard set by the Tile Contractors Board of America, no changes will be made unless the discoloration affects more than 10% of the tile.
  • Because of the different compositions, glazes, surface textures and gloss levels, some ceramic tiles offer a range of styles and functions. Your Design Consultant can provide you with the product that will best suit your needs.
