3. A tile is a manufactured piece of
hard-wearing material such
as ceramic, stone, or even glass.
Tiles are generally used for
covering roofs, floors, walls, showers,
or other objects such as tabletops.
Introduction

4. Historically, man has desired to create living
spaces which were beautiful, durable, and user
friendly. with that in mind, ceramic tile has been
made by man for 4000 years.
Beautiful tiled surfaces have been found in the
oldest pyramids, the ruins of Babylon, and ancient
ruins of Greek cities.
Decorative tile work was invented in the near east,
where it has enjoyed a longer popularity and
assumed a greater variety of design than anywhere
in the world.
During the Islamic period, all methods
of tile decoration were brought to perfection in
Persia.
Introduction

5. In Europe decorated tiles did not come into general
use outside Moorish Spain until the second half of
the 12th century.
The tile mosaics of Spain and Portugal,
the maiolica floor tiles of renaissance Italy,
the faiences of Antwerp, the development of tile
iconography in England and in the Netherlands,
and the ceramic tiles of Germany are all prominent
landmarks in the history of ceramic tile.

6. Manufacture:

7. The raw materials used to create tiles are all found in
the ground.
These raw materials, like clay is quarried and refined.
They are then mixed.
A dry mixture of clay, Magnesium silicate and other
ingredients are pressed into a mould, and then fired
at an extremely high temperature.
The ingredients used in this process are slightly wet.
They are forced through a nozzle, which forms the
tile’s shape.
Other methods of creating tiles are slush mould and
beehive kilns.

8. There are many types of tiles used for residential
and commercial applications.
1. Roof tiles
2. Floor tiles
3. Pebble tiles
4. Ceiling tiles
5. Wall tiles

10. Roof tiles are designed mainly to keep
out rain, and are traditionally made
from locally available materials such
as clay or slate.
Flat tiles - the simplest type, which
are laid in regular overlapping
Roofing tiles

11. Introduction

12. These are commonly made of ceramic or
stone.
Recent technological advances have
resulted in rubber or glass tiles for floors as
well.

13. Pebble Tiles is a composite
material made up of marble pebbles
or pieces of natural stone in different
sizes, bound together with a
transparent white or colored resin.

14. Ceiling tiles are type of tiles used for covering

adding much stuff to the home.

17. Here are some places around the
home that can benefit from tile
applications.
COUNTER
BATHROOM
BACKSPLASH
FLOORING
WALL ACCENTS
EXTERIOR
Uses:

18. COUNTER
Ceramic tile is among the most common
materials for kitchen countertops.
Because it's hard and water-resistant, it holds
up extremely well to the moist and often
humid environment of the kitchen.

19. BATHROOM:
Mostly used on floor
They are also commonly used in walls.

20. BACKSPLASH :
Almost all backsplashes are made of tile because
of its natural water resistance.
Some people prefer stone or marble, but these
are expensive materials.

21. FLOORING :
Tile is one of the cheapest flooring options,
especially compared to popular materials
such as hardwood and marble.
Most tiles can withstand heavy use in living
rooms and the heat and moisture of
bathrooms.

22. WALL ACCENTS:
Small decorative tiles make great accents for
walls, counters, and flooring.
They usually come in stronger, deeper
colours and feature interesting patterns,
often to complement the colour of bigger
tiles.

23. EXTERIOR:
Some tiles can actually be used on the
exterior walls of your home.
These are usually decorative ones made to
look like natural materials, such as wood and
stone.
They make great alternatives to exterior
painting, since they don't fade and can
withstand most outdoor elements.
