the right questions.

Ceramic tile gives the gift of beauty and durability like nothing else.

You have to carefully consider the location of the tile: inside or out? floor or wall or counter?

What type of tile? vitreous, non-vitreous or impervious?

Glazed or unglazed? What type of glaze?

And colors…?
