Most people are familiar with the fact that tiles are available either glazed or unglazed. Often, the advantages of glazed tiles are discussed while unglazed tiles rarely get praised. However, if you ask a Tuscon, Arizona tile contractor, he’ll tell you that both glazed and unglazed tiles have their advantages. One advantage to unglazed tiles is that their color runs throughout and not just in the glaze on the surface, making a scratch or chip not easily visible. Furthermore, because they lack the sleek, slippery glaze, unglazed tiles provide more traction. This is especially important if you’re considering a tile installation in your Tucson home’s bathroom or pool deck.
