Porcelain Tiles Offer Strength, Durability and Style Porcelain is a mixture of clays pressed into shape and fired at high temperatures to solidify. Along with the clay is a large amount of feldspar or equivalent mineral that's more finely ground, subject to higher pressure and fired for a long time at extremely high heat. As a result, porcelain tiles are very hard and dense. And because of this manufacturing process, they can be quite large and strong. What are Rectified Porcelain Tiles?

All tiles vary slightly in size between production runs. This type of tile is deliberately made over-sized so it can be cut on a diamond saw to reduce variation. This allows for finer grout joints between tiles and helps to create beautiful and contemporary finished looks. What's the difference between indoor and outdoor tiles? Porcelain floor tile makes an excellent choice for swimming pools, patios and your front walk leading to the steps to your front door, as long as they meet slip resistant requirements. Outdoor tiles have a surface texture that helps make them slip resistant. In exterior environments, they have a slightly gritty surface, even though the tile is glazed. The invisible grit provides superb traction when tiles become wet. 


Look for products that are ADA Approved. Porcelain floor tiles are typically thicker, heavier and harder than wall tiles. Their glazed surfacing is designed to handle the abrasive forces from foot traffic. Increasingly, they are being applied to vertical surfaces. This is not an issue as long as the surface is strong enough to support their weight and proper installation methods are used.
