What are Ceramic Tiles & Their History?

Ceramic tiles have been around for centuries with the first known examples of tiles originating around 4th century BC. Pressed tiles by hand where how the tiling form was created initially with many different countries taking on their own forms of tiling which included their own use of materials and designs. Machine pressing of clay to mass produce tiles began in the middle 1800’s and by the 1900’s coloured, white, and decorative ceramic tiles were being produced en mass across most of Europe and America.

Today, ceramic tiles are a popular choice for flooring for many areas of the home including the kitchen, bathroom, and living areas. They are available in a wide range of colours, designs and styles and have many benefits to being used in modern homes.
