Florida Tile is a U.S.-based manufacturer of porcelain and ceramic tile. It is one of the United States' largest producers of glazed and unglazed porcelain wall, floor tile and ceramic wall tile.[1] It is also an importer and distributor of ceramic and porcelain wall and floor tile, natural stone, glass and metal tiles.

Established in 1954, the company originally intended to fill a market niche. However, as the company grew, its product line gradually expanded and it became known for innovation, being responsible for a number of firsts in the ceramic tile industry.

In 2003, the company employed 950 people and had annual revenue of around $120 million. It manufactures its products in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, and distributes products via its distribution center there to a network of 60 distributors, 35 company owned branches, and through big box and third party channels.

During the 2010 Coverings trade show, Florida Tile was given the Award of Excellence from West Virginia-based Mountain Re-Source. The recognition was for the company's humanitarian efforts in Appalachia and its response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. At the time of the recognition, Florida Tile had donated $600,000 worth of material to Mountain Re-Source.
