In this study, the production of floor tile with addition of tuff into the standard masse was aimed. Chemical, mineralogical, particle size distribution and thermal analysis were performed on Afyon region tuffs. Samples were produced by adding 11, 18, 20, 24 volcanic tuff by weight into the standard floor tile masse which were composed of clay, pegmatite, feldspar, and kaolin. In the 5 various mixing series test specimen were produced by dry pressing method. Samples were fired at 1213 deg C and were kept for 40 minutes which is standard sample fire temperature. Water absorption, viscosity, apparent density, firing shrinkage and compressive strength tests were performed on the fired specimen and compared with specifications and evaluated. As a result, addition of volcanic tuff into the standard masse by adding 10-20 % can be used for the production of tile floor. Alkaline properties were observed on the volcanic tuff. Water absorption and viscosity values of tuff were affected in very little amount. It is determined that usage of volcanic tuff is possible with decreasing amount of clay, kaolin and pegmatite.
