Tile
A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as
ceramic,
stone, metal or even
glass. Tiles are generally used for covering
roofs,
floors, and
walls, or other objects such as tabletops. Another category are the
ceiling tiles, made from lightweight materials such as
perlite,
wood, and
mineral wool. The word is derived from the French word tuile, which is, in turn, from the Latin word tegula, meaning a roof tile composed of baked clay. Less precisely, the modern term can refer to any sort of construction tile or similar object, such as rectangular counters used in playing games (see
tile-based game).
