Porcelain Tile


Porcelain tiles are thin slabs of clay or other inorganic materials, hardened by oven firing and usually coated with some kind of glaze. Porcelain is best known for its durability. Porcelain title is a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms because it’s easy to clean and doesn’t harbor germs. 

Porcelain tile is rated from zero to five based on hardness; zero through two is suitable for wall tile, three is good for most residential uses, and four and five are hard enough for commercial applications.

Porcelain tile now comes in a variety of styles and looks. Porcelain tile can now look like hardwood floors, stone or tile. The installation of porcelain tile has evolved as well. Just like the click in place vinyl planks we now offer click in place porcelain tile options. 

Compared to hardwood, ceramic and porcelain tiles are sturdier. Not only can they withstand more weight and traffic, but moisture also does not affect them. They do, however, tend to chip or break with time, but can last for over twenty years with proper care.
