Porcelain Tile Cleaning and Sealing
Ceramic tile finds its origins in the early Egyptian antiquities. The Moorish tribes
in Africa pioneered tile making techniques that slowly spread north throughout Spain. It wasn't until the 14th-century that the "glazing tiles method" was incorporated in tile-making techniques. Tile making spread to Holland and was widely used in England in their building activities. In time, Britain was credited with being the first mass-producing country during the industrial revolution. Flooring trends grew exponentially worldwide partly, as a way to combat infectious germs in restrooms, kitchens, flooring, and walls.
It is a misnomer for one to conclude that Ceramic tile was installed in all homes during its introduction to the marketplace. The intelligentsia, aristocratic, bourgeoisie, and affluent homeowners rapidly embraced the new tile technology, the best artisans were hired to install decorative tiles
back then in palaces, castles, monasteries, churches and offices and museums as a class statement. It was common back then to install lesser quality and less ornate tiles in the servant quarters, hallways and areas traveled by them to provide services to their employers.
