Metropolitan Ceramics

Metropolitan® Ceramics is the leader in manufacturing high quality unglazed quarry tile. Metropolitan quarry tile is an extremely durable ceramic quarry tile manufactured by the extrusion process, not pressed. Metropolitan Ceramics tile has a low absorption body, a tight die skin and an unglazed slip resisting surface for use indoors or outdoors in virtually any climate. The tile has many of the same characteristics as paver brick. Metropolitan tile is manufactured with a relieved edge that resists chipping. Because of the thickness and the through-the-body color, the tile also resists impact and abrasion. The color palette consists of natural earth tones that are complementary and enhance other design elements. Because of the natural raw materials and the firing process, the tile produces no off gassing sometimes associated with other flooring products. Metropolitan Ceramics products are maintenance friendly and - when properly cared for - will meet the most demanding applications with years of quality service. The look of Metropolitan quarry tile can actually be enhanced over time. A number of shapes and sizes are available to create unique and attractive designs. Metropolitan Ceramics tile can also be used on vertical surfaces. Consult the Tile Council of America Installation Handbook for correct installation procedure. Metropolitan Ceramics continues with over 100 years as a leader in producing quality ceramics products. From our central location in Canton, Ohio, Metropolitan combines decades of expertise in kiln firing, with world class production equipment and the finest raw materials. The end result is an outstanding value in unglazed ceramic quarry tile.
