Gorgeous Porcelain
For a tile to be deemed a “porcelain” tile, it must have less than 0.5 percent water absorption. Any tile that yields a water absorption percentage above that is considered a “ceramic tile.”
Key characteristics and advantages that differentiate porcelain from ceramic tile:
- Density
- Greater resistance to wear
- Frost-proof
- Chemical resistant
- Suitable for any application
There have been incredible advancements in the manufacturing equipment used to produce porcelain tile in recent years. These advancements have allowed porcelain tile to be visually appealing and desirable for all applications and projects.
Porcelain is available in unglazed, glazed, polished, matte, textured, “thin” (4.5mm thickness), and in all sizes from mosaics to very large format tiles. Many of the porcelain tile produced today meet or exceed the new DCOF (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction) requirements.
