What Are Porcelain Tiles? 

Porcelain tiles are a type of ceramic tile made from refined clay, fired at higher temperatures than ordinary ceramic tiles. As a result, they are denser, less porous, and highly durable.

Colour options for these tiles are vast, ranging from natural earth tones to vivid hues of almost every colour of the rainbow! 

Porcelain tile finishes include 

• Gloss
• Grip/External grip
• Matte
• Polished

Porcelain tiles are clearly a versatile tiling choice for homes and commercial spaces. But why else should you choose these tiles? 

Porcelain has been highly prized for centuries, with exquisite porcelain wares produced in China as early as the 7th century. In Europe, porcelain tiles gained prominence during the Renaissance period. They later became integral to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements of the 19th and 20th centuries. 

Today, the classic appeal of porcelain tiles continues in modern design. You can use them for floors, walls, countertops, backsplashes, patios, and around pools.

Is Porcelain Tile Slippery When Wet? 

Polished porcelain tiles can be slippery when wet because of their smooth, glossy finish. 

For slip resistance, choose porcelain tiles with textured or grip finishes. These provide traction when wet, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and around pools. 

Is Porcelain Tile Good for Shower Floors? 

Porcelain tiles are excellent for shower floors because their low water absorption rate and durability make them resistant to moisture and staining. 

For shower safety, textured or grip finish porcelain tiles are fantastic, as they reduce the risk of slipping.

Additionally, porcelain floor tiles in the shower are easy to clean.
