Porcelain tiles are a popular choice for flooring and wall applications in residential and commercial settings. Known for their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal.

 

Main features of porcelain tiles

 

  • Porcelain tiles are made from a blend of fine-grained clays, minerals, and other natural materials, that are compressed under high pressure and fired at extremely high temperatures.

  • The manufacturing process results in dense, non-porous tiles with low water absorption rates.

  • They are easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal upkeep to preserve their appearance and performance. They are resistant to moisture, mould, mildew, and bacteria, making them ideal for use in wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and swimming pools.

  • Porcelain tiles are renowned for their exceptional durability and resistance to wear, scratches, stains, and impact.

 

Advantages of porcelain tiles

 

  • Strength and resilience

  • Stain resistance

  • Hygienic properties: porcelain tiles are hygienic and hypoallergenic, inhibiting the growth of mould, mildew, bacteria, and allergens.

  • Design flexibility: they are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, colours, textures, and patterns.

  • Longevity

 

Disadvantages of porcelain tiles

 

  • Proper installation of porcelain tiles is essential for ensuring optimal performance, durability, and aesthetics.

  • Substrate compatibility: porcelain tiles require a stable and level substrate for installation to prevent cracking, shifting, or damage over time.

  • Choosing the right grout for porcelain tiles is important to achieve a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. Epoxy grout is recommended for high-moisture areas and outdoor applications, while cementitious grout is suitable for most indoor installations.

  • Porcelain tiles require regular maintenance to preserve their appearance and performance.

  • Slip resistance: textured or matte finishes offer better traction than polished or glossy surfaces, enhancing safety in slippery conditions.
