Porcelain offers low water absorption and generally simpler maintenance than natural stone. Graphics, veining, texture, finish, and variation differ by collection. Multiple cartons should be blended to avoid repeated tile faces. Polished, matte, textured, and outdoor surfaces have different traction and cleaning characteristics.

Key considerations

  • water resistance
  • stain resistance
  • design consistency
  • stone visuals
  • multiple finishes
  • varied graphics
