Tiles are typically made from materials such as ceramic or stone Some tiles are made from marble or cement Ceramic floor and wall tiles are the most common type of tile in homes

As ceramic tiles are made from a mixture of clay and silica and then fired at high temperatures The firing process gives the tiles a smooth, shiny finish that’s also durable Even though they’re durable and able to handle a lot of wear When the top layer chips or scratches, water can infiltrate and start developing mould in the porous layer beneath This will gradually weaken the tile over time Once we repair the tile, we seal it to restore its beauty and watertight durability
