What is porcelain tile?
Porcelain tile is a tile that is generally made by the dust pressed method from porcelain clays which result in a tile that is dense, impervious, fine grained and smooth, with a sharply formed face. Porcelain tiles usually have a much lower water absorption rate (less than 0.5%) making it frost proof. Glazed porcelain tiles are much harder and more wear and damage resistant than non-porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles are suitable in almost all applications with heavy foot traffic.

Made from special clay minerals, porcelain tile (or porcelain stoneware tile) is a highly-resistant ceramic product with a solid structure and a hard surface which doesn’t absorb water (classified as impervious), doesn’t stain, and isn’t affected by wear and tear over time. All of the wall tiles and flooring in Naturgress, Irisstone and Irisgress are covered by a fifty-year guarantee against wear, frost and stains, under any conditions of use. Moreover, glazed porcelain tile requires lower maintenance than natural stone, granite and marble.
