The history of ceramic tiles dates back to 4000 BC, when Egyptians began to use tiles to decorate various types of houses. The clay bricks are dried in the sun or dried by baking and then colored with blue glaze extracted from copper.
Tiles were also found in Mesopotamia 4,000 years ago. The tiles were decorated with blue and white stripes, and later appeared in a wider variety of styles and colors. China is the center of ceramic art. As early as the Shang Yin period (1523-1028 BC), China produced a fine white enamel, which used Chinese early glaze to whitewash.
For centuries, the decorative effect of tiles has increased with the improvement of tile production methods. For example, during the Islamic period, all tile decoration methods reached their peak in Persia. Subsequently, the use of ceramic tiles has gradually become popular around the world, and in many countries and cities, the production and decoration of ceramic tiles has reached its peak. In the history of ceramic tiles, Spanish and Portuguese mosaics, Italian Renaissance floor tiles, Antwerp glazed tiles, the development of Dutch tile illustrations and German tiles are all milestones.
In ancient times, tiles were handmade. That is to say, each tile is hand-formed and hand-colored, so each tile is a unique piece of art. Tiles are used in almost every aspect of the building, such as walls, floors, ceilings, fireplaces, murals, and exterior walls of buildings.
Today, around the world, tiles are no longer hand-made, hand-colored, but using automated production techniques, and the human hand is only used to install the tiles. As in the past, indoor and outdoor are decorated with tiles, such as: floors, walls, countertops, fireplaces, fountains, and exterior walls.
Tiles are the trendsetting fashion material in home decoration. In the mid-to-late 1990s, ceramic tiles entered the kitchen and bathroom, forming a consumer trend of integrated kitchen and bathroom walls. In the 21st century, the tile market is characterized by refinement, distinctive personality and unique style, which makes the tile market increasingly rich and varied, leading the fashion trend of the market.
