Porcelain tiles are a lot more resistant to water absorption than ceramic tiles. The glazing also bonds strongly with the tile body, resulting in an extremely hardy and durable tile surface.

With such hardwearing properties, the glazed porcelain tile is a highly popular choice.

CTM’s vast range of colourways, surface structures and profiles give you the freedom to explore all manner of design styles and applications, from clean modern and classic looks to natural and rustic environments. But it doesn’t end there.

Consider complementing your choice of tile with mosaic accents, border details, or attractive Rosone features.

A number of products masquerade as porcelain tiles. Some tiles may be manufactured from porcelain clay, but rely more on preparation and firing to resist water absorption.

For your peace of mind, check with your salesperson on the water absorption percentage of the actual clay body to ensure you are making the right decision for the area you wish to tile.
