Porcelain Tiles

Got questions about porcelain tiles? You’re in the right place. From how they stack up against ceramic to whether they’re too heavy for your walls, we’ve got the answers you need to make the best choice for your space.

 

Are porcelain tiles better than ceramic tiles?

Porcelain tiles outshine ceramic tiles in durability and density, making them tougher against scratches and cracks; perfect for busy spaces like kitchens and hallways. While porcelain demands gentler cleaning to keep it looking sharp, ceramic tiles offer a softer feel underfoot and stay cooler, which is a bonus in warmer climates.

 

Are porcelain tiles too heavy to be used on walls?

Porcelain tiles are heavier than ceramic, so they can be a bit trickier to install on walls. But they’re definitely not off-limits; just make sure your wall can handle the weight and use the right adhesive. For best results, it’s smart to get a professional on board to ensure a solid, safe fit every time.

 

Do porcelain tiles need to be sealed after installation?

Most porcelain tiles don’t need sealing because they’re naturally moisture-proof and tough against water damage. However, some varieties with tiny surface pores might benefit from a light sealant.
