Available in an array of designs, colors, and sizes, porcelain tile is an ideal choice for both floor and wall. Whether you are looking for a classic marble tile, a modern concrete design, or a rustic farmhouse wood look, porcelain is the answer. Porcelain tile is a more durable product than ceramic tile and hardwood making it a great choice for high traffic areas.
Advantages of Porcelain Tile:
- A harder and denser product than ceramic tile
- Highly resistant to scratching, stains, and moisture
- Due to the density level it makes it a very low porosity material perfect for showers and wet areas. This also makes it highly stain resistant.
- A durable material that is resistant to strong cleaning products and heavy traffic
- Classified by a PEI rating system, certain porcelains are commercially rated making it durable for foot traffic as well as heavy equipment use
- A frost resistant (and often frost proof) product makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications
- A low maintenance product it does not require any sealing or polishing
- With proper installation and care, porcelain can have a lifespan of 50+ years (residentially) – making it a longer lasting product than most carpets, laminates, and hardwoods
- Offered in a wide range of designs you can find a porcelain tile perfect for all styles. It is made in a variety of limestone, marble, travertine, cement, linen, and hardwood looks, making it suitable for everything from ultra-modern to classic rustic designs
