Numerous advantages draw homeowners and designers to choose ceramic tile. You may already know that ceramic tile is beautiful and durable, but it also inhibits mold, mildew and fungus — problems that can arise in a damp environment. It withstands pool chemicals and direct sunlight without fading. It’s also slip-resistant, making walking safer in areas where swimmers will be leaving a pool.

While ceramic tile’s appeal for pool areas may be obvious, it’s also useful in other outdoor settings such as sunshades and outdoor enclosures.

Ceramic tile has long been a material of choice for indoor living spaces. Now, thanks to design innovations by manufacturers, homeowners can embrace tile’s beauty and durability in a variety of outdoor applications as well.
