Porcelain Floors

Porcelain tile floors owe their popularity to the material porcelain, which is a stronger material than most ceramic clays. Porcelain tile is a unique type of tile, fired at extreme temperatures, making it much stronger than ordinary tiles and even harder than granite.

Porcelain tile provides home and business owners with a strong, versatile flooring option that can withstand heavy traffic. Porcelain tile is fire resistant and easy to maintain. Porcelain tends to be denser than other products, which makes it stronger than most tiles. It is also less water absorbent, making it frost resistant and therefore more suitable for outside settings. It is also highly stain-, scratch-, and water-resistant.

Porcelain tiles are available in many colors and textures, making it easy for you to find something that suits your needs and style preferences. Adding porcelain tile to your home is a relatively easy way to increase the value of your home significantly. Overall, porcelain tile is an economic flooring option that can last for generations when cared for properly. It’s a great choice as both a floor and wall covering material.

Porcelain tile offers other advantages:

• Better performance. Porcelain tile can be installed in heavy traffic areas, and some lines are slip-resistant and ADA approved.
• More aesthetically pleasing. Satin-finish tile exhibits a realistic, authentic look of stone (but without the price of real stone).
• Higher perceived value. From a decorating standpoint, porcelain is hot. Because of its higher performance and better aesthetics, people are requesting it by name.
• Higher breaking strength. Porcelain contains less clay and more feldspar (a mineral) than regular ceramic tile. It’s also pressed at a higher pressure, making it 30% harder than granite.
• Less water absorption. Therefore, less staining and easier to clean.
