Why porcelain
Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures than ceramic, so it is denser and absorbs very little water. That makes it the safest choice for bathroom floors, shower walls, kitchens, laundries and, in outdoor finishes, alfresco areas. Glazed porcelain usually needs no sealing.
Choosing a porcelain tile
- Finish: matt and honed for floors, polished or gloss for walls. Check the slip rating for wet areas.
- Size: 600x600mm suits most floors, 600x1200mm gives fewer grout lines. See large format tiles.
- Rectified edges: precisely cut edges allow narrow grout joints for a cleaner look.
- Look: marble, stone and concrete, terrazzo or timber.

Buying help
Is porcelain better than ceramic?
For floors, wet areas and outdoors, porcelain is usually the better choice because it is denser and absorbs less water. Ceramic is lighter and easier to cut, and works well on walls.
Can porcelain tiles be used outside?
Yes, if the tile has an outdoor or grip finish with a suitable slip rating. Indoor polished porcelain is not suited to outdoor areas.
Do porcelain tiles need sealing?
Glazed porcelain generally does not. Some unglazed or polished porcelain benefits from sealing, so follow the care advice for your range.
Are porcelain tiles hard to cut?
They are harder than ceramic, so tilers use wet saws or quality cutters. This is one reason large porcelain tiles take more time to install.
