Tile is a natural product that possesses the appealing physical
characteristics of stone such as durability, ease of maintenance, stain
resistance, inflammability, and color retention (it does not fade.) In
addition, porcelain tile and many stone tiles are impervious to
moisture. These tiles have none of the troubles such as fungi, mold,
germs, and dust mites often associated with carpet and some wood floors.
And besides, tile is beautiful with its endless variety of color,
texture, luminosity, and depth.
