Porcelain tiles are one of the most durable building materials, thanks to the material and firing process. Less delicate than similarly made ceramic tiles, most of our porcelain designs can be installed on wall or floor applications, in homes or high-traffic retail, commercial, or business settings, or even in wet or dry environments. 

They’re strong enough for floor installation while light enough for a gorgeous wall covering, making them an incredibly durable design option!

How to Keep Porcelain Tiles Clean 

Wipe up any spills as soon as possible. While porcelain is non-porous and stain resistant, it's best to avoid letting harsh dyes or chemicals sit on the surface. You can wipe porcelain surfaces clean with a damp cloth. We recommend using cleaning products without strong chemicals or acidic content. While you don't need to seal porcelain tile, we do recommend sealing the more porous grout to ensure the best life for your installation, and the easiest long-term cleaning solution.
