Endless Possibilities with Porcelain

Natural stone can be beautiful, but we often recommend porcelain for so many reasons. Here are a few:

• Consistency – with porcelain you can enjoy the look of natural stone without the inconsistencies inherent in natural stone. Porcelain tile has come a loooong way! We can direct you to styles that have variation in the design to achieve a natural stone look while getting the big porcelain benefits.
• So many options! – Matching trim pieces, decorative pieces, square, rectangular, large small. All designed to coordinate within the style you choose.
• Low maintenance – Porcelain doesn’t need to be sealed so it is easier to maintain and clean. Plus it isn’t porous, so you don’t have to worry about staining.
• Strong and durable – The firing process creates a tough product that withstands wear and tear and the elements.
• Installation – The installation is easier and less expensive than stone installation.
