STYLE FILE: PORCELAIN TILES

Porcelain tiles are a popular choice among renovators and builders, with the ceramic style suitable for both flooring and walls. Made from dense clay fired at a higher temperature than standard ceramic tiles, porcelain is a popular non-porous option, making it perfect for rooms with fluctuating temperatures like your kitchen or bathroom.

They’re resilient and resistant to wear, making them suitable for high-traffic spots in the home. Porcelain tiles are also incredibly durable as they’re stain-and scratch-resistant and easy to clean. They come in a versatile range of finishes, sizes and styles.

If you’re leaning more towards a natural look like stone, marble or timber but would like to still use the highly durable porcelain, this can be achieved through high-resolution printing technology available at leading tile retailers.
