Ceramic tile is ideal for walls, backsplashes, shower surrounds, fireplaces, and select residential floors. Known for its design versatility, ceramic tile offers a wide range of colors, glazes, shapes, and handcrafted details that make it especially popular for decorative and vertical applications

Ceramic tile is an excellent option for kitchens and bathrooms, especially for backsplashes, walls, and shower installations. Glazed ceramic tile resists moisture and stains, is easy to maintain, and allows for creative expression through color, pattern, and surface variation.

Ceramic tile is made from natural clay and fired at a lower temperature than porcelain, resulting in a lighter, slightly more porous tile. Porcelain tile is denser and more water‑resistant, while ceramic tile offers greater flexibility in shapes, textures, and artistic glazes—making it a preferred choice for expressive design.

Start by considering where the tile will be installed, the level of wear it will receive, and the overall design aesthetic. Ann Sacks offers a curated range of ceramic tile collections, including our in-house MADE by Ann Sacks tile collections, and design consultants are available to help guide selection based on performance, style, and layout.
