TILE Meaning and Definition

  1. A tile is a small, flat, usually square or rectangular object commonly made of ceramic, stone, glass, or metal, used for covering surfaces such as floors, walls, or roofs. It is typically used as a decorative or protective element, adding visual appeal and functionality to various structures.

    Tiles are commonly used in architecture and interior design due to their versatility and durability. They can be glazed or unglazed, and their surface may be smooth or textured, allowing for a wide range of aesthetic possibilities. The most common types of tiles include ceramic tiles, which are made from fired clay and are widely used in bathrooms and kitchens; porcelain tiles, a dense and durable type of ceramic tile often used in high-traffic areas; and stone tiles, which are cut from various rock formations and offer natural beauty and strength.

    In addition to their aesthetic value, tiles provide functionality by protecting surfaces from damage, water, and heat. They are often used as flooring in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens, where their resistance to water and stains is highly advantageous. Tiles are also efficient in terms of maintenance, as they are typically easy to clean and maintain their appearance for extended periods of time.

    In summary, a tile is a flat, often square or rectangular object made from ceramic, stone, glass, or metal, used to cover surfaces for decorative and protective purposes in architecture and interior design.

  2. • A piece of burnt clay, flat or round, or other form, used for roofing and for drains, &c.; in the form of small slabs, coloured and ornamented, used for floors, walls, &c.
    • To cocer with tiles, or as with them.
