How to choose porcelain tile

If you're renovating your home and you're looking for a quality and durable flooring material, porcelain tile may be the perfect choice for you. 

Porcelain stoneware was originally seen as a substitute for natural stone, but because of its versatility and durability, we can already use it in many ways.

If you decide to use porcelain tile, there are a few tips you should definitely consider:

Tile size:

Porcelain tile varies in size; therefore, it is important to consider the size of the room when choosing. If you install large tiles in a small area, you will lose space and visual aesthetics, so it is better to choose tiles of relatively small size.

Thickness:

Porcelain tiles also vary in thickness; it is important to note that the thickness of the tiles does not directly affect their durability. A well-laid porcelain tile with a thickness of 3 mm and 8-9 mm, may have the same durability. 

Color and surface:

When laying a floor, the most important thing is probably the color and texture of the surface. In terms of design, there are many types of tiles, and you should consider their synthesis with the interior when choosing. If you want to perceive more light, we recommend using light-colored tiles.

As porcelain tiles are resistant to dirt and stains, and damage, then if you have a lack of light in your kitchen, you can use porcelain tile in light colors - regardless of the color, you will be protected from dirt and stains.

However, it is important to consider that tiles with a glossy surface is not recommended to put in a place where there is a heavy load, because the feet easily slip on the glossy surface. That is why it is better to choose smooth tiles.
