Mural Tiles for Indoors and Outdoors

Mural tiles have adorned residences and establishments for ages. Tiles have been in use for more than 6,000 years in Egypt. The history of civilization is interwoven with the history of tiles. From the present time until the coming years, tiles seem to possess their shine and do not show any indication of fading. Almost everyone uses tiles to add beauty to their homes. Hand-painted tile enclosure can be made up of plain field tile that are mixed together with gigantic tile murals that is overlaid on whole walls.

Ceramic tile paintings are custom-made and hand painted by tile painting artists like Mimi Ross Blank. Every tile mural is designed particularly for each client and made with their own idea and preferred subject and color. Tiles like these are perfect for kitchens, backsplashes, bathrooms and other areas. The hand-painted tiles are kiln fired, making the designs permanent and ideal for indoor and outdoor installations.

The durability of painted tile is seen in Lisbon, Portugal. The oldest painting in this place, put up in 1565, is still undamaged and stays clear and lovely. Tiles are durable, fireproof, water and stain resistant, sanitary and easy to scrub. Simply rub tiles with non-abrasive cleansers. Tiles are very different from carpeting, wood or wallpaper because they do not become pale when exposed to sunlight. They can also be placed indoors. Today, photographs can be transmitted to tiles using a procedure called sublimation. The process of burning dissolves the glaze into the tile, producing an image that will remain forever.

Today, a homeowner or interior decorator can visit a store that sells building construction items and choose a commercially made tile mural and have it mounted on the same day. Although easier and economical, this mass-produced tile mural cannot be pitted against the excellence, character and peculiarity of custom made, hand painted, genuine tile murals.

The line between indoors and outdoors continues to fade as the craving to delight in outdoor spaces equipped with interior luxury becomes the standard. Compelled by the desire for a peaceful place to equalize stressful living, people are willfully making more time and building elegant spaces for appreciating outdoors with friends and loved ones.
