Ceramic Products Filling Our World

By: Cindy Anderson

A boring subject for an article? Not at all, not at all. In fact, the world of ceramics is an interesting one, and ceramic products are all around us, filling our world. Come, let's take a tour (a short one, I promise you) and see ceramics all around us.



First stop: The garage. You see your vehicle parked over there? Well, chances are that every time you hit the brakes, you are depending on ceramics to help you. Many cars today have ceramic brake pads installed - they help you to stop more reliably in all sorts of braking situations - and that helps keep you safe.



Now that we've been to the garage, let's leave there and go into the house. Let's go up to the bathroom. There we will find ceramic tile on the floor, and in the shower stall. You might just even find some on a kitchen countertop or on the floor in a hallway. Both beautiful and functional, it can even increase the value of your home.



Speaking of the home, another area where you will see ceramic products in the kitchen is in the 'equipment' used there: coffee carafes, teapots and ceramic tea strainers can be found there, right alongside of the usual ceramic dish or cup.



Let's leave the indoors for a moment, and head outside. Let's go out to the garden, and sit down - here's a wonderful ceramic garden stool, right next to a couple of pixies and garden gnomes -- that's right, all made of ceramics.



And while we are outside, if we go around to the front of the home, we might see the house numbers, street name and even the family last name - a unique touch, one that tells everyone just who lives here. And these signs? All made of . . . You guessed it - ceramics.



Well, we're finished around the house. Now, let's head off to work. All types of businesses and industries have used ceramics. Piezo electric elements are incorporated in computers, medical equipment, furnaces, watches - even your backyard grill. And ceramic ball bearings help devices as diverse as truck wheels, jet airplanes and roller skates function better.



Well, our trip is finished. As you can see, ceramic products truly DO fill our world - and our world would be very different without them.
