What is and why choose Porcelain Tile ?
Porcelain tile is a tile that is generally made by the dust
pressed method from porcelain clays which result in a tile that
is dense, impervious, fine grained and smooth, with a sharply
formed face. Porcelain tiles usually have a much lower water
absorption rate (less than 0.5%) making it frost proof. Porcelain tiles are much harder and more wear and damage
resistant than non-porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are suitable
in almost all applications with heavy foot traffic.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) say, porcelain tile is a type of ceramic tile made by the pressed dust method. Once available to only the most affluent, through-body tile is considered one of the most fashionable choices for floors, walls and countertops.
Through-body porcelain tile is made from mixtures of clay, sand and other natural minerals that are shaped into tile and fired at high temperatures. This gives the tile a water absorption less than 0.05%
