Advances in technology enable manufacturers to bake texture directly into ceramic tile, including the textures of many different kinds of fabrics, such as carpet and linen.

Carpet can harbor dust mites, pet dander, cockroach allergens, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs are harmful gases that can cause headaches, nausea, and nose, eye, and throat irritation).
