What it is
Porcelain tiles are harder and less absorbent than ordinary ceramic tiles. Vitrified tiles sold in India are of this dense family and are used for most floors.
Key points
- Very low water absorption
- Hard and scratch-resistant
- Large formats available
- Indoor and outdoor grades
Why it matters
Large dense tiles need a level base and tile adhesive rather than thick mortar.
How Elamentt handles it
Large tiles are laid on adhesive over a level screed for a flat, hollow-free floor.
