Porcelain

Porcelain tiles have been in the U.S. for more than twenty years. In the early years porcelains were used primarily in the commercial arena. Millions of square feet have been installed in shopping malls, airports, office buildings, car dealerships, showrooms, grocery stores and hospitals. Recognizing the huge potential of the American residential market, the porcelain manufacturers around the world shifted gears and began creating colors, textures and styles to appeal to the homeowner. As a result, over the past few years residential use of porcelain tiles has steadily grown and more manufacturers are jumping on the band wagon. Latest production advances have caused the introduction of glazed porcelains, which offer more exciting surface textures and color palettes than ever before.

Porcelain tile has the strength and lasting durability to withstand the heaviest of traffic, while at the same time offering lines with the desired aesthetic appeal.
