Porcelain is made using white clay, finely ground sand and feldspar. This mixture is fired at high temperatures to produce this durable material, making porcelain tiles a fantastic choice for flooring applications in high-traffic areas.

When selecting new flooring for your space, whether it be residential or commercial, a primary question should be: How much maintenance will this need? It is this answer that makes porcelain such a popular choice! Tiles made from this material offer low maintenance as it only requires semi-frequent sweeping or vacuuming.

When mopping or cleaning these tiles, all harsh chemicals should be avoided as these products are often corrosive to porcelain. Mild detergent and water will keep these tiles spotless. It is also important to remember that once cleaned, all detergents should be thoroughly rinsed from the surface.
