Porcelain is a type of ceramic fired at extremely high temperatures, making it incredibly dense and hard-wearing with almost no absorption. Porcelain tiles can be either full-bodied, where the colour or pattern runs through the entire tile, or glazed, where the design is applied only to the surface.

These tiles can mimic the appearance of materials like wood, stone, or metal, or feature intricate patterns and designs. However, due to the way porcelain tiles are produced, there may be slight variations in size or colour between different batches. For this reason, it’s recommended not to mix tiles from different batches to ensure a consistent look.
