Porcelain Tiles have become the most popular type of tile to use on floor surfaces over the last decade. There are many good reasons why they have gained such popularity.

Fired differently

Porcelain Tiles are made in a different way to traditional ceramics. They have a greater amount of the moisture removed from the mixture before firing and also are fired at much higher temperatures.

Extremely Tough

This process of reducing the water content and firing them at a higher temperature makes them extremely tough, hard wearing and possess very low porosity.

Easy to maintain

Because they are so tough and non absorbent, they are very easy to maintain and remain like new for long periods with no significant effort. This is in contrast to natural stone which requires resealing at regular intervals in order to maintain its original look. On first quality Italian porcelain you can use many of your regular household cleaners, steamers etc, without damaging the product at all.

New HD printing technology

This has meant that it is now possible to replicate all types of natural stone authentically. Top quality Italian porcelain is now so authentic in both look and texture it has for many become a superior option to natural stone itself.

Less expensive than natural stone

Although, due to its superior hard wearing qualities, porcelain tends to be more expensive than normal wall or floor grade ceramic, it is often much lower in price when compared to natural stone material.

All of these positive characteristics along with the amount of size and finish options available, contribute to porcelain being the prefered choice for many architects, business/ home owners and interior designers around the world.

Italian Porcelain tiles in particular, are known throughout the world as leading the field in both quality and design. Take a look at our range of stunning Italian Tiles on our website for your next project.
