Porcelain tiles are made with a unique blend of clay and quartz that gives them their unique properties. Porcelain tile is made by exposing clay to searing hot temperatures — anywhere from around 2,300 to 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit! Unsurprisingly, porcelain is sometimes called a HIGH-FIRE material for this reason. Because it is made at high-fire temperatures, porcelain tile is stronger than ceramic and can withstand more elements, which is why it often makes a great outdoor flooring choice. The composition of these minerals makes it very hard, tough, and durable. Porcelain tiles can withstand high levels of wear and tear without chipping or breaking.

Porcelain is also highly resistant to heat and cold. Because it has a smooth surface, it does not absorb moisture like other types of flooring do. This helps keep your floors dry and prevents mold from developing in your homes bathrooms or kitchens. In addition to being non-absorbent, porcelain is also waterproof which means you dont have to worry about water damaging your flooring in the bathroom or kitchen. Its perfect for use on wet floors!
