How are the tiles made?

The tiles are made with the highest precision and quality. They are ceramic tiles that have Armor Coatings, a state-of-the-art coating that allows an image to become part of the tile. The tiles are then cured for durability. The coatings on the tiles contain Tinnovans, which are essentially UV light blockers that prevent the image on the tiles from being attacked by UV rays. These special tiles along with the highest quality organic inks will allow the image to retain its beauty without degradation for many years.
