Quarry Tile
Quarry tile production has its "roots" in the brick making industry and uses raw material very similar to that used in the manufacture of brick products. "Natural" and "durable" are the words best used to describe hard-fired - high quality - quarry tiles.
These low absorption tiles are manufactured then hard fired in kilns at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Not all quarry tile is manufactured to such high quality standards as to be considered "vitreous" or low absorption.
