01Our view
Porcelain is fired hard enough to absorb almost no water, so it holds up in showers, on heated floors and outdoors. We choose it when a surface has to work hard and still look considered — matte, honed, textured or polished, from small formats to full slabs.
02Where it works
- Floors, including radiant heat
- Shower walls and floors
- Kitchens and mudrooms
- Indoor–outdoor transitions
- Commercial floors
03What to know
- Water absorption
- Porcelain is defined by absorption of 0.5% or less. That is what makes it frost-resistant and suitable for wet rooms.
- Rectified edges
- Edges ground square after firing allow tight joints. The trade-off is a flatter substrate requirement.
- Slip resistance
- Level interior floors that get wet should meet a DCOF of 0.42 or higher. We check finish against use before layout.
