quarry tile
building material
Quick Summary
Quarry tile is a machine-made, unglazed tile crafted from dense pressed fireclay. It is particularly suited for floors, patios, and industrial applications where high resistance to abrasion and acids is necessary. Unlike some other clay products, quarry tile is often made using a dry-press process, which results in a smooth texture. This manufacturing method, along with its material properties, makes it a durable and practical choice for demanding environments.1
