National Tile Day 2024

Tile is good for kitchens and bathrooms as well as other locations in any particular construction project. I have several areas where it is utilized in my home — mostly as an easy to clean surface adjacent to the messier things like stoves and showers.

Today is National Tile Day. It happens on February 23 and is a vehicle to promote the tile industry. The structural nature of tile make it a sturdy wall covering as long as it is applied properly.

The spectrum of materials is pretty much endless and they may cover floors, walls, and alcoves for other areas of the home in ceramic, porcelain, glass, marble, granite and many other materials of various styles.

Tile has been utilized for millenia and I recall admiring some of the magnificent tile work of Pompeii, the Vatican, Civitavecchia, Florence, Rome, and Italy in general back in my Navy days.

Regardless of who you are I think a little tile is an appropriate addition to your next contruction plans.

Happy National Tile Day to you !
