Because our handmade, Mexican tiles, fired at this higher temperature, exhibit decreased surface crazing, the use of these tiles is more appropriate where water and significant temperature variations occur such as inside showers and exterior walkway and patio accent tiles. The same applies to high relief tiles. That is why they are used so commonly to crate beautiful outdoor décor. Ceramic tiles are fired at high temperatures and are absolutely fine for swimming pools and fountains in mild climates where there is no danger of freezing. However, if you live in a climate that can get minus 0 degrees, we strongly discourage using ceramic materials. Even ceramic tile will over time, absorb water and if allowed to then freeze, it will crack. It will NOT crack if it does not freeze.
