Porcelain tile is very durable and comes in  many colors and patterns.  The bathroom remodel above was done with a porcelain tile that has a rugged texture to mimic stone.   To ensure you are getting "real" porcelain tile, you should research the company you are purchasing from as there are only a couple dozen certified porcelain tile manufacturers in North America.  Certified porcelain tile has been tested to ensure the water penetration is only 0.5%.  It is tested by boiling the porcelain tile for 5 hours then tested to see how much water was absorbed in that time.  Porcelain tile is recommended for indoor use.  Porcelain tile can be a little more expensive that ceramic tile.  One of the characteristics of porcelain tile is that the color is throughout the tile whereas the ceramic tile has the color layer on top.  If it gets a chip you will see a different color.  Porcelain tile is harder to cut due to its density, a professional tile saw is recommended as well as a good saw blade.

Porcelain tile for the bath floor

Our bathroom floor is best when warm and cozy however, carpet is out of the question.  Using a porcelain tile over radiant floor heating material is a popular choice, especially in colder climates.  Porcelain tile creates the cleanliness and beauty we desire.  Without radiant floor heating, a throw rug or two keep the chill away.

Porcelain tile for the kitchen floor

If you walk into any showroom or do it yourself store, you will find a huge selection of porcelain tile laid out in amazing patterns.  Be as creative as you like with porcelain tile listels, dots or stripes.  We can help with the layout if you like as well. Sometimes a pattern must be fabricated.  We have a large shop with all the tools to make your vision come to life.  ​

Porcelain tile for the shower walls

Porcelain tile for the shower wall works well.  We recommend using an additive in the grout to ensure our porcelain tile is well sealed.  You can also use a sealant for extra protection and apply a coat every couple of years to ensure your porcelain tile looks great for years to come.

Porcelain tile for other areas

Porcelain tile is used for many other areas where durability is key.  Below is a picture of a porcelain tile shower pan.  Porcelain tile can be used for kitchen and bathroom backsplash areas,  in front of a fireplace, hallways, entryways and we recommend it for the laundry room.  We also recommend installing porcelain tile baseboards especially in areas that are prone to water damage like the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms.   ​
