Tile
flat, durable material used for flooring and roofing / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, porcelain, metal or even glass. Tiles are generally used for covering roofs, floors,[1] and walls. They have been made for thousands of years.
Tiles can be simple square tiles or arranged in complex mosaics. Tiles are most often made from ceramic, with a hard glaze finish.
At the end of the 20th century, the technology of porcelain and glass tiles advanced, making them cheaper. They became more commonplace.
