NounSingular tile Plural tiles tile (plural tiles)
Derived termsRelated termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, metal, or even glass. Tiles are generally used for covering roofs, floors, and walls, showers, or other objects such as tabletops. Alternatively, tile can sometimes refer to similar units made from lightweight materials such as perlite, wood, and mineral wool, typically used for wall and ceiling applications. Less precisely, the modern term can refer to any sort of construction tile or similar object, such as rectangular counters used in playing games (see tile-based game). The word is derived from the French word tuile, which is, in turn, from the Latin word tegula, meaning a roof tile composed of baked clay. Tiles are often used to form wall and floor coverings, and can range from simple square tiles to complex mosaics. Tiles are most often made from ceramic, with a hard glaze finish, but other materials are also commonly used, such as glass, marble, granite, slate, and reformed ceramic slurry, which is cast in a muld and fired.

GNU Free Documentation License Anyone know of good resources for ceramic tile painting? Q. I'm planning to redecorate my kitchen soon, and as part of the redecoration I want to put ceramic tile on the walls as a back splash. In thinking over the decor of the room, I thought it would be really neat to have a Mediterranean design on the tiles. Obviously, purchasing a room's worth of Mediterranean ceramic tiles could be pricey, and I'm considering whether or not I should do the painting myself. The only problem is that I don't know anything about painting ceramic tiles. I was hoping that someone could point me toward some really good websites or books that would be helpful in getting started.

Go to smart flix.com as they have hundreds of how to DVDs you can rent for $10 including postage both ways and no membership fee is required. Also, check out my friend Dave Bosley at Artworkontile.com as his prices are not that bad and he has great art fired on tile and can do your art also if you want him to. There are ceramic shops in some cities that let you decorate green ware and they fire it, but I think by the time you paid them Dave would be a better deal.

We have removed sheet vinyl down to bare concrete & will be laying tile. But there is still some chunks of adhesive stuck to the floor. How clear does the concrete floor have to be before the lay the ceramic tile? Asked by leopardlady - Mon Jul 21 12:27:47 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Spend $14 and get yourself a 4" scraper from Home Depot or Lowes. They usually sell them in the carpet / flooring aisles. It has a 12"- 16" handle with a 4" razor blade on the end. This will remove anything off a concrete floor. You must get all that glue off before putting a new floor in. Also, if there are any expansion cracks in your concrete, install some crack / isolation product such as Redgaurd (Home Depot). This will help prevent that same crack to come up through your tile. Good Luck! Answered by mcweber817@sbcglobal.net - Mon Jul 21 12:58:19 2008 How can I clean a tile floor without having to scrub on my hands and knees?
Q. I'm moving out of my rental property and i've decided to clean it myself... well I vacume every second day and mop once a week or fortnight (depends on what it looks like) after I mop the floors they look clean but if I get on my hands and knees and scrub in between the tiles then more dirt comes off... is there another way to clean this or am I doomed at scrubbing for about 6 hours?? the whole house is tile except the bedrooms and I would love to know if i could pour something on it and then mop over it?? I appreciate the help!! Asked by JazzyKat - Wed Aug 22 23:27:23 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have the same floor as you do. I simply let scrubbing bubbles sit on it, mixed with baking soda and vinegar. I leave the room. I can't scrub anymore due to my arthritis. So this works. After awhile I come back and everything is gone. right down to its nitty gritty lined stuff. Good luck. Answered by Milmom - Wed Aug 22 23:37:15 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "tile" See also:
