Is Porcelain the New Stone?

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Welcome to the new generation of porcelain tile! The porcelain tile of today is virtually maintenance free, manufactured to replicate a wide range of natural materials and can even be specified with an anti-microbial finish. Appealing to tastes ranging from Old World to the ultra-modern….the ink jet technology used to achieve these designs is simply amazing. With as many as 82 patterns within one style before a repeat…the “stone” interpretation of porcelain is virtually undetectable.
The raw materials in many of the new porcelain tiles include both a percentage of pre and post-consumer recycled material. All of which can contribute to LEED credits!
So if you’re looking for concrete, metallic finishes, marble, limestone or even a funky fabric pattern we have it all in a maintenance-free option…PORCELAIN.
