You love the idea of tile flooring but are also concerned about those little white chips and scratches that can make even the newest tile look old.
You can eliminate those spots with through-body color porcelain or color-body porcelain.
What is it?
Through-body color is associated with unglazed porcelain. The sale color goes through the bisque, from top to bottom.
Color-body refers to glazed porcelain. The top shellac is closely matched to the bisque.
Visit our tile store to learn more. You'll see designs like Berkshire Hickory by Florida Tile, Vertuo Bravura by Daltile, or Edge by Florida Tile.
Why is porcelain tile trending?
When you walk into our tile store, you’ll see that porcelain combines aesthetics and function. As a result, it's ideal for heavily trafficked areas indoors or out.
But it also comes in a large variety of colors and designs. It can look like anything, including fabric, leather, stone, and wood.
It's also a large format tile, sometimes as big as 25 X 25. That's a big trend today.
Is it the same as ceramic tile?
No. Porcelain is a type of ceramic, but its construction includes sand, glass, and non-absorbent clay.
It's also fired at higher temperatures than most ceramics. So, your porcelain tile in Germantown, OH, will be strong enough to even sand up to freeze-thaw cycles.
Other advantages of porcelain
It has a natural abrasion which makes porcelain less slippery when wet. Also, because it's non-porous, it won't harbor bacteria or stain easily.
Wipe it with a damp mop, warm water, and a gentle cleaning agent. Then, to see more porcelain, visit our tile flooring showroom to view Calistoga Calacatta Empire (a marble look) by Daltile or Eldridge Farmhouse (a wood look), both by Daltile.
