Basic Properties of Porcelain Tiles
Porcelain tiles are a type of ceramic tiles that are composed of finer clay particles, creating an impervious material. This keeps its water absorption extremely low, which works best in bathroom applications!
In addition, the process that make porcelain tiles allow it to become very dense. This means that it is more durable than non-porcelain ceramic tiles, lasting for many years with only minimal maintenance. You won’t see a newly installed porcelain flooring cracking any time soon; it would take an enormous amount of force for this to happen.
Admittedly, the dense composition of porcelain tiles does make them heavier and more difficult to cut and customized. However, it is very seldom for homeowners to find the need to request for them to be customized.
Porcelain tiles are also resistant to stains—a welcome feature for bathroom applications. Marks and blemishes are easily removed with a short wash and wipe. Some people also recommend periodic damp mopping using a pH-balanced solution for those who want to disinfect the area!
