1. Frostproof

Porcelain don’t absorb water. So there is no opportunity in the winter season for them to absorb the water, freeze, expand, and then crack.

2. Minimal Maintenance

Porcelain tiles are non-porous and stain-proof. Rinsing off your patio with some warm soapy water is the maximum effort needed to maintain your space.

3. Fade & Scratch Resistant

One of the main advantages of porcelain tile is its durability. It is much denser than standard ceramic tile as it is fired at higher temperatures and made from more refined clay. This makes them tremendously hard and resistant to scratching.

4. Non-Slip Texture options 

They can be used safely in wet areas, a trait that makes them the right outdoor tiles! 

5. Can Blend Indoor & Outdoor Living

Don’t be afraid to use the same tiles in the kitchen and out the sliding door to the patio to make the space seem more significant and ultimately create a sense of flow through the area.

*Please note that the porcelain tile you choose should be designated for outdoor areas.

Large tiles are best to use for your living room, and smaller size of tiles for bedrooms and guest rooms.

The tile color should always match the colors of the interior spaces. Gray or ivory colors are best for your house floors. 

Safety is the most important thing when it comes to choosing the tiles. You must install non-slip tiles to your bathroom to avoid slipping incidents.

The kitchen is the home space where we spend most of the time, and consequently, it can easily take scratches and stains. That’s why we suggest you to choose gold-colored or brown-colored tiles because they easily hide severe scratches and stains.

Use dark or earthy tile color for your corridors and other places with high  traffic. These colors easily conceal dirt and deterioration.

To make a smaller space look larger, use lighter-colored and larger size tiles. So, consider installing tiles with lighter and brighter colors in smaller rooms with small windows or an insufficient amount of light. Try white tiles, sand-colored tiles, cream-colored tiles, and beige tiles. The tile material could either be marble, ceramic, or porcelain. All these tend to create an illusion of a larger space.
