Porcelain

Natural stone can be beautiful, but we often recommend porcelain for so many reasons. Here are a few:

Consistent Beauty – Enjoy the elegance of natural stone without its unpredictable variations. Porcelain provides a uniform look while still offering styles with natural stone-inspired patterns for added depth and character.
Endless Design Choices – From matching trim and decorative accents to a variety of shapes and sizes—square, rectangular, large, or small—porcelain offers limitless possibilities to complement your style.
Low Maintenance – Porcelain is non-porous, making it resistant to stains and easy to clean. Unlike natural stone, it doesn’t require sealing, saving you time and effort in upkeep.
Exceptional Strength – Fired at high temperatures, porcelain is incredibly durable, resistant to wear, and tougher than ceramic tile, making it a long-lasting choice for any space.
Chip Resistance – Since porcelain is typically unglazed and features solid color throughout, minor chips and imperfections are far less noticeable.
Perfect for Outdoor Use – Porcelain stands up to the elements, making it a great option for patios, walkways, and other exterior applications.
Moisture-Resistant – Ideal for wet areas like showers, bathtubs, and pools, porcelain remains unaffected by humidity and water exposure.
Easier Installation – Compared to natural stone, porcelain is lighter, more affordable to install, and provides a hassle-free alternative without sacrificing durability.

Tile Lingo

If you’re new to tile, sorting through the terminology can be a challenge. Here are some common terms to help guide your decision making:

Apron – Trim or facing on the side or in front of a countertop.

Bull Nose Edge – An edging option for porcelain, ceramic or natural stone that provides a finished edge to an installation. Edging can be rounded or have a 45 degree angle.

Chiseled Edge – A process of mechanically chipping the tile edge, thus giving the stone a rustic, aged appearance.

Coefficient of Friction (COF) – Represents a tile’s natural resistance to slip, measured by the force required to move an object across the tile divided by its weight. The range is from 0 to 1. Lower numbers indicate less friction, which means the floor will be more slippery. Higher numbers mean more friction so the floor will provide greater traction. A COF greater than .50 is recommended for standard residential application. When selecting your tile, consider how often the tile will be wet and potentially slippery.

Craze – The random pattern of fine lines or cracks on the surface of a crackle-glazed tile.

Grout – Grout is a type of cement that is used to fill the space and provide support in tile joints. Grout is available in a myriad of colors to coordinate with the tile it is being used with.

Concrete Board – A cement board made for wet areas that is attached to floors or walls in preparation for tiling.

Listello/Liners – An accent tile, typically rectangular in format, generally used as a linear design element, primarily for walls

Medallion – A symmetrical ornamental block of tile used as a focal point in walls and floors.

Mosaics – Tile size 2”x2” and smaller, often used with different colors to create a pattern or decorative inset. Some of these smaller tiles also come in different shapes, such as hexagon.

Subway Tile – A rectangular and flat tile, set with a narrow grout joint; often comes in sizes with a 1:2 ratio (3×6, 4×8)

Thinset – A thin layer of mortar used to adhere tile directly onto a backer board.

Through Body – Unglazed tiles that are a solid color all the way through and do not have a top layer of glaze.

Tumbled Finish – Tiles are literally tumbled, with abrasives, to produce a distressed or weathered look.
