THE BENEFITS OF A PORCELAIN TILE:
Resists wear:
Porcelain tiles are highly resistant to wear. That’s because porcelain tiles are fired with a higher temperature when made. It’s more uniform in construction and tends to be harder and thicker overall than most other tile varieties. Porcelain tile floors are known to last for years, and they are a great choice for all floors because of just how durable they are over time. If your looking for flooring that will hold up to children, pets and general family life or commercial high foot traffic, then porcelain tiles are for you. Porcelain tiles are commonly used to cover wall and floors, with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5 percent the clay used to build porcelain tiles is generally denser. They can either be glazed or unglazed. Porcelain tiles are one type of vitrified tiles and are sometimes referred to as porcelain vitrified tiles.
Low Maintenance:
Maintaining flooring can be really intensive when you have something like traditional wood flooring or natural stone. Porcelain tiles look great and they’re tough, they are so simple to maintain. They don’t require any special sealing to keep out water or stains. Porcelain tile floors are simple to clean and water wipes right off them without causing any real damage. That’s why a porcelain tile is used heavily in kitchen floors, bathroom walls and floors, hallway floors and more, porcelain tiles are now also being used outside if the correct tile installation is used.
