Quarry Tile

Quarry tile is a building construction material made by the extrusion process from natural clay or shales. Traditional Quarry Tile was unglazed and either red or gray; however, modern “decorator” Quarry Tiles come in a variety of tints and finishes. Industrial Quarry Tile is available with abrasive frit embedded in the surface to provide a non-slip finish in wet areas such as commercial kitchens and laboratories. Quarry Tile is extensively used for floors where a very durable material is required. It can be used either indoors or outdoors, although freeze-resistant grades of tile should be used outdoors in climates where freeze-thaw action occurs. Since Quarry Tiles are made under extreme pressures and kiln fired afterwards, they are not a good candidate for topical sealer. A Penetrating sealer or enhancer will keep them looking their best.
