As demand for resilient, high-quality flooring grows, more contractors and architects are turning toward porcelain. This versatile material is simple to maintain and comes in an extensive range of design options to suit various environments. Let's explore some of the top porcelain tile benefits for businesses.
Durable Tile for High-Traffic Areas
It's no surprise that commercial applications account for approximately half of the porcelain tile market revenue in the United States. The dense composition and high firing temperature of porcelain make it exceptionally resistant to cracks, chips, and surface wear. Whether you're outfitting a busy retail store or a public transit hub, porcelain tile holds up under pressure. The Porcelain Enamel Institute rating system makes it easy to select the right durability level. Grade 4 tiles are ideal for heavy foot traffic in offices, restaurants, and shops. We recommend Grade 5 tiles for ultra-high traffic areas, such as hospitals, airports, and malls.
Versatile Design Options for Commercial Businesses
You can get porcelain tiles in many different colors, patterns, textures, and finishes to fit your business. Using digital printing, porcelain can even replicate the natural beauty of wood, marble, or concrete. To minimize grout lines, you can use large-format tiles and porcelain slabs to create a clean, expansive feeling, especially in open-concept spaces, such as lobbies.
Low-Maintenance Tile for Easy Cleaning
Porcelain's dense, nonporous surface resists stains and moisture without requiring specialized cleaning products or treatments. All you need to do to keep your porcelain floors pristine is sweep and mop with a mild detergent. Porcelain also stops the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, which makes it a hygienic option for health care facilities and restaurants. Due to porcelain's durability, you won't need to worry about repairing scratches or fading. With such remarkably low maintenance required, porcelain remains one of the most popular options for high-traffic flooring.
