Dense Porcelain Tile
Porcelain tile tops the scale for durability. Made from refined clay fired at high temperatures, porcelain tiles resist scratches, stains and wear from heavy foot traffic and furniture. The non-porous glazed surface also repels water and corrosive moisture. Porcelain stands up beautifully in kitchens, hallways, and commercial contexts.
Hardened Glass Tile
Glass tile made from hardened glass resists scratches, fading, and corrosion. The smooth, impervious surface prevents damage from furniture legs dragging across it. Glass tile adds sparkling color options perfect for backsplashes, walls, floors, restaurants and stores.
Durable Natural Stone Tile
Granites, marbles, travertines and slate have innate hardness and density that prevents scratching and abrasion damage. Their polished or honed surfaces hold up well in kitchens, baths, and high-traffic indoor and outdoor areas. Be sure to properly seal natural stone against moisture.
Vitreous Ceramic Tile
Look for ceramic tiles with non-porous vitreous surfaces fired at high kiln temperatures. This makes the tiles more dense and furniture-proof. Use these durable ceramic tiles on floors, walls and countertops prone to heavy usage.
Choosing the most scratch, stain, and furniture-proof tile materials is keyFor things like Maldives. With porcelain, glass, natural stone, and vitreous ceramic tiles, you can install floors that will last despite daily wear and tear.
