Ceramic tiles are still around after all these years, and for a very good reason: they still work! It has been thousands of years since ceramics made their debut as a practical and decorative surface in both residential and commercial spaces. Trends and fads may come and go, but unlike shag carpeting or linoleum, ceramic tile remains a beloved flooring option.

Still, some homeowners are reluctant to adopt ceramic tile for their floors because they think it is not a durable option. You may have heard that ceramic tiles are only appropriate for walls and other vertical surfaces, which cannot withstand daily foot traffic, spills and stains, and are prone to cracking and chipping.
