There are three types of porcelain tile typically used: Carraba white, Rosa portagallo and Bottocino
These porcelain tiles are obtained by particular clays and high temperatures. The final results are tiles so beautiful as to rival natural marble tiles. Like quarry marble, they can be worked, honed and polished, because they are homogeneous throughout the thickness.
These artificial marbles have advantages over natural marbles such as no maintenance, easy installation, lower cost and same durability. They are available in many sizes and colors and in two finishes: mat, or satin surface and honed and polished, high glossy surface.

Mississippi's generally hilly landscape reaches its highest point (806 ft/246 m) in the northeastern corner of the state along the Tennessee River. The most distinctive region in the state's varied topography is the Mississippi Delta, a flat alluvial plain between the Mississippi and the Yazoo rivers in the western part of the state. A wide belt of longleaf yellow pine (the piney woods) covers most of southern Mississippi to within a few miles of the coastal-plain grasslands. Important there are lumbering and allied industries. Most of the state's rivers belong to either the Mississippi or the Alabama river systems, with the Pontoctoc Ridge the divide. The climate of Mississippi is subtropical in the southern part of the state and temperate in the northern part; the average annual rainfall is more than 50 in. (127 cm).
