In western Europe, Islamic mosaic and tile art was introduced by the Moors in the eighth century. These historical pieces of carefully constructed art contained mainly mathematical and geographical images that were designed by highly educated scholars and artists.
Modern ceramic tiles are created through a process called dust pressing. Here, the clay dust is placed into a large press that pushes it into a set size and shape. Interesting, it’s this pressure that gives the finished ceramic tiles its tensile strength.
Many ancient mosaics, like those used in Rome were not just beautiful pieces of art but also provided a strong surface to walk upon. Indeed, Roman mosaics during the time of the Roman Empire were also used as an early form of advertisement.
Strip flooring is thin, each strip being less than 3 inches wide. It creates a linear effect in the space and is considered traditional wood flooring. On the other hand, plank flooring is more than 3 inches wide, and while it also has a linear look, it is more casual or informal in appearance.
Although some types of tile are made from synthetic and unsustainable materials, glass isn’t one of these. When you choose glass tiles for your home, you’ll be getting a beautiful tile made in a manner that is ecologically friendly.
If you're looking for tiles to use outdoors in a climate that typically experiences hard freezes, many ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, and quarry tiles will work. However, take care with terracotta and other natural clay tiles, as they do much better in warmer climes.
To ensure that the glass tiles in your pool will endure the test of time, it’s best practice to make sure that at least 95% of the tile surface comes into contact with the thin-set adhesive.
Did you know that ceramic tiles are classified by their water absorption rate, which reflects the density of the body of the tile? This can help you to determine whether the tile is suitable for interior or exterior applications.
Some hardwood flooring options have 50 year warranties. Manufacturers don't enter into these types of commitments without a good reason. Hardwood is durable, constructed to last, and look good -- for decades.
