Ceratec Tiles

Sourcing tile from an overseas-only label can mean long lead times, colours that get discontinued mid-project, and no one local to stand behind it. Ceratec is the opposite case: a Canadian ceramics company with a deep porcelain range, which means the supply, the support, and the colour matching come from a maker that works in this market.

In simple terms: Ceratec Surfaces is a Canadian tile company, based in Quebec, that produces and distributes porcelain, ceramic, and mosaic tile for residential and commercial projects. At Squarefoot we carry their porcelain floor and wall collections, their mosaics, and their large-format options, across the looks people actually ask for, marble, stone, wood, concrete, and decorative.

Porcelain is the workhorse here, fired dense so it absorbs almost no water and takes heavy traffic, which is why it suits floors, walls, and wet areas alike. Ceratec runs from small mosaics up to large-format tile that keeps grout lines to a minimum on big floors. Because it is a Canadian company built around the domestic market, you get a range specified for the way Canadian homes and commercial spaces are actually built.

Stone and marble looks

The largest part of the range recreates natural stone and marble in porcelain, which gives you the look without the sealing, staining, and softness of real stone. Collections include Marmi Classici, Burlingstone, Realstone Slate, and Pietra Moda.

Decision line: for a marble or stone look in a bathroom, kitchen, or feature wall, porcelain is the practical pick over natural stone because it does not need sealing and will not etch.

Wood looks

Wood-look porcelain gives the plank appearance with full waterproofing and none of the movement of real wood, which suits bathrooms, basements, and high-traffic entries. Collections include Asana, Kentwood, and Stage Pointe. There is also a wood-look Aspen vinyl plank option for spaces where you want a softer, warmer floor underfoot.

Decision line: choose wood-look porcelain when you want a wood floor in a wet or heavy-traffic area, and the vinyl plank when you want warmth and give underfoot.

Cement and concrete looks

For a modern, minimal surface, the cement and concrete looks include Chicago, Urban, and Teknostone. These suit large open floors and contemporary interiors where a seamless, low-pattern look is the goal.

Decision line: pick a concrete look for a clean, continuous floor across a large open area.

Decorative, terrazzo, brick, and textured looks

The range also covers terrazzo such as Rialto and Venice Villa, brick looks like Bricklane, metallic surfaces like Metallica, and textured linear and wave designs such as Artline for feature walls.

Decision line: reach for the textured, brick, and terrazzo looks when you want a feature wall or backsplash with character rather than a plain field tile.

Mosaics

Ceratec's mosaics cover shower floors, backsplashes, and accent bands, in glass and tile formats including Tessara, Exagon, and Diamante. Mosaic on a shower floor is also the practical choice for slip resistance, since the extra grout lines add grip.

Decision line: use a mosaic on shower floors for grip and drainage, and as an accent to lift a plain wall or backsplash.

Why Ceratec works in Ontario homes

Porcelain is the most forgiving surface for the way Ontario homes get used. It is waterproof for bathrooms and entries that see snow and salt, the large-format options keep big floors clean and seamless, and it pairs with in-floor heating, a common request in Toronto condos and Barrie homes. If you are weighing materials, porcelain vs ceramic explains the difference in density and where each belongs. We can confirm the wear and slip rating of a specific collection for your room before you order.

Installation and setting materials

We install Ceratec tile with our own in-house team, residential and commercial, not subcontractors. Tile is only as good as the bed under it, especially with large-format, so we handle the substrate prep, waterproofing, layout, and setting. See our tile installation process, and we stock the adhesives and grout to finish the job. Browse our projects for completed tile work.
