Tiles are often used to form wall and floor coverings, and can range from simple square tiles to complex or mosaics. Tiles are most often made of ceramic, typically glazed for internal uses and unglazed for roofing, but other materials are also commonly used, such as glass, cork, concrete and other composite materials, and stone. Tiling stone is typically marble, onyx, granite or slate. Thinner tiles can be used on walls than on floors, which require more durable surfaces that will resist impacts.

TYPES OF TILES :-
The tiles are classified according to their
usage
as follows.
1) Drain tiles

3. Drain Tiles
Drain tiles are manufactured in such a way
that they retain porous holes after burning .
If the tiles are used in water logged areas
they allow sub soil water to pass through
their holes. The drain tiles are circular,
semi-circular (or) segmental in shape
.These files are used to carry irrigation
water. These tiles are used in modern days.

5. Floor Tiles
The floor tiles may be square (or)
hexagonal. They are flat and the thickness
varies from 12mm to 50mm. Square tiles
150mm to 300mm in size.
As the floor tiles are hard and tough they
reduces the wear and tear.
Thin floor tiles are embedded for roof
ceiling decoration. If colouring agents are
used while manufacturing the floor tile we
can get coloured floor tiles. Floor tiles may
also be fixed in the side walls of bathroom.
