Where to Use Ceramic tile?
In colder climates, ceramic tile is mainly used in entryways, corridors, bathrooms, kitchens and basements. In temperate and mostly in hot climates it may also be used, with advantage, in living and family rooms, or in bedrooms (cold and hard floor underfoot isn’t such a disadvantage in these climates) Prefer vitreous and impervious tiles (that is, non-absorbent tiles) in basements flooring, or in bathrooms and other areas of the house where moisture and water absorption may be significant. Many outdoor applications also demand tiles with low moisture absorption (often less than 0.5%). Glazed tile and porcelain tile have that feature.
