Why choose porcelain floor tiles?
When it comes to tile flooring solutions, Ceramic City Ireland has been in the floor tile industry since 1958
We have noticed that porcelain floor tiles take tile flooring to a whole new level. Porcelain is a manmade type of ceramic, making it perfect for floor tiles due to its outstanding durability, strength and huge design range of options.
Amazing strength: with a manufacturing process that uses finer, denser clay and higher temperatures and pressure to produce tiles, porcelain floor tiles are harder and stronger than other types of ceramic. Paired with their excellent longevity, this goes towards making them a highly durable flooring option that’s guaranteed to maintain its finish for years to come – even in high-footfall areas.
Incredible water and stain resistance: while porcelain floor tiles can be used throughout your home, areas like kitchens and bathrooms can definitely benefit more when it comes to coping with daily wear and tear. Porcelain tiles are incredibly dense, which makes them extremely resistant to water and a perfectly practical choice for floors in wet areas such as bathrooms. The material’s density also makes it chemical and stain-resistant – perfect for protecting your kitchen floor against everyday spills and suchlike.
Allows for minimum maintenance: porcelain tiles in your home could also save you when it comes to day-to-day care. Whether you choose matt non-slip floor tiles or a gloss or satin finish, all of our tiles are inbuilt with extremely low-maintenance properties – meaning a regular cleaning will allow your tiles to last longer and to look new longer.
Huge versatility: porcelain tiles also boast incredible versatility as a flooring solution, thanks to the huge variety of styles and colours available. From beautiful rustic kitchens with easy-clean wood-effect floors to luxury living rooms with porcelain marble floor tiles, porcelain tiles open the door to all kinds of styling possibilities, even if you’re on a tight budget.
