Porcelain Tile Offers Many Advantages

•  
• Porcelain is completely non-porous so it’s moisture resistant and can be created with a texture that makes it highly slip-resistant. This anti-slip surface makes it a perfect choice for pools, walkways, and any highly trafficked areas.
•  
• Intense sun can cause many stone and concrete surfaces to easily reach temperatures too hot for bare feet. In comparison, porcelain is often cooler to the touch. Lighter color selections also have a higher Solar Reflectivity Index (SRI), a numerical value placed on a surface’s ability to reject solar heat rather than absorb it.
•  
• Porcelain does not fluctuate with extreme heat and cold, so it will neither expand or contract. Because it’s non-porous, it’s far more dense than other materials making it tougher and more resistant to scratching and chipping.
•  
• Porcelain does not accumulate dirt like other surfaces which makes it much easier to clean.
• Because there are no pores, porcelain is anti-microbial, combatting mold and mildew — another great reason to use it in moisture prone areas.
•  
• Outdoor porcelain tiles are both UV and fade resistant, so ten years later they still look like new.
