Ceramic tile’s fire resistance makes unique fireplace surrounds like this wood-look tile possible, and the stone-look ceramic tile flooring flowing effortlessly inside and out gives continuity to these beautiful living spaces.

All of these advantages make ceramic tile ideal for use indoors and out, in all climates.
Ceramic tile can certainly take the heat — and whatever else the elements throw at it.
