     You will not run out of options with ceramic tile. It comes in a variety of patterns, sizes and colors. There are also wide varieties in porcelain, marble, granite, glass and natural stone tiles. Sometimes this availability of options may seem a bit overwhelming, but once you've filtered your options by color, size and application you're bound to be left with the perfect tile.

     There are many different types of tile and stone and they are generally classified by composition or manufacturing process. Natural stone is literally cut pieces of natural stone (or loose stone), while most mosaic tiles, floor tiles and wall tiles are manufactured.  Manufactured glass, porcelain and ceramic tiles are the most popular as they can be created in such a wide variety of shapes, colors, and designs.

Ceramic Tile - Factors to consider

  1. Glazed floor tiles should not be used where there is a consistent presence of water, oil, or grease unless COF exceeds 0.60.
  2. Proper maintenance is critical. Improper maintenance and improper maintenance products can result in a contaminant build-up on the surface of the tile causing the tile to be slippery.
  3. Exterior applications, including pool deckings, are considered to have a continuous exposure to standing water creating a potential for a slippery floor surface. Dal-Tile does not recommend glazed floor tiles on exterior applications unless the tile surface is: (1) sufficiently protected from direct weather elements, (2) equal to or greater than .60 COF wet, (3) textured, and (4) not polished or semi-polished.
  4. Ramped surfaces, irrespective of the slant of the incline, require a more slip resistant surface and Dal-Tile recommends a minimum of .80 COF on these surfaces.
  5. "Polished surfaces" create a very smooth surface. Dal-Tile does not recommend polished surfaces in any areas subject to water, oil, or grease exposure.
  6. No floor tile is "slip proof."
