context_page_description: A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, porcelain, metal or even glass. Tiles are generally used for covering roofs, floors, and walls. They have been made for thousands of years.
  Tiles can be simple square tiles or arranged in complex mosaics. Tiles are most often made from ceramic, with a hard glaze finish.
  At the end of the 20th century, the technology of porcelain and glass tiles advanced, making them cheaper. They became more commonplace.
