tiles

we love tiles and it shows...

Tiles are often used to form wall and floor coverings, and can range from simple square tiles to
complex mosaics. Tiles are most often made from ceramic, with a hard glaze finish, but other materials
are also commonly used, such as glass, marble, granite, slate, and reformed ceramic slurry, which is
cast in a mould and fired.

A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, metal, or even glass.
Tiles are generally used for covering roofs, floors, and walls, showers, or other objects such as
tabletops. Another category is the ceiling tiles, made from lightweight materials such as perlite, wood,
and mineral wool. The word is derived from the French word tuile, which is, in turn, from the Latin
word tegula, meaning a roof tile composed of baked clay. Less precisely, the modern term can refer to
any sort of construction tile or similar object, such as rectangular counters used in playing games
(see tile-based game).
