Notable Tile Installations

The time-tested durability of ceramic tile means we can continue to be inspired by tile installations dating back 4,000 years and extending to nearly every culture of the world.

The versatility of ceramic tile to be installed anywhere and in any climate means our most revered historical buildings, as well as icons of style eras and tourist attractions, employ treasured examples of tile craftsmanship and innovation.
