Ceramic tiles can be Glazed or unglazed, ceramic tiles are normally the easiest to cut and drill because they are not as hard as their Porcelain or Natural stone counterparts.

Adhesive

Choose an adhesive that is suitable for your particular application. If you are tiling onto a wooden floor you will need a flexible floor adhesive. If you are tiling a shower cubicle you will need waterproof adhesive. I recommend non slip adhesive as it is easier to use.

Cutting Ceramic tiles

Ceramic  tiles are best cut with a standard tile cutter, although you may also need  a diamond wheel cutting machine.
