Where to Use This Tile, and How Tile Finishes Work

Porcelain tile can be used as floor or wall tile in almost any interior room, except for shower pans. Once installed, porcelain tiles are waterproof, frost-resistant, and heat-resistant. Standard matte, satin, and polished finishes usually have similar slip-resistance levels unless the tile is specifically rated as an In & Out or Grip finish. For pool areas, a Grip finish is preferred. For outdoor areas that may get wet, an In & Out finish is usually the better choice. However, any wet surface can become slippery depending on the angle, speed, amount of water, and how the area is used, so caution is always required. A DCOF rating above 0.42 is considered the beginning level of slip resistance. Tiles with more surface friction usually attract more dirt and dust, which is why they are generally preferred for outdoor areas.

Description

Wood Effect Floor Tile in Bathrooms and Kitchens

We can’t use “waterproof” vinyl and laminate planks on shower walls. We can’t even use those products in bathroom floors. However, we can use porcelain tiles on shower walls and bathroom floors with no worries. Besides, one of the flooring trends that is on the rise today is to carry the main floors throughout the house or the condo and to maintain a consistent style. Wood effect floors tiles make the perfect fit for such applications with their 100% waterproof feature.

Moreover, most wood effect floor tiles generate good friction when they are wet. They are safer products. They are more durable products, and in most cases, we can clean them with only water.

PEI And Water Absorption

Ceramic tiles with water absorption of 0.5% and lower are categorized as porcelain tiles. Water absorption is what indicates the hardness of the porcelain tile. Wood Effect Floor Tile Montana Maple comes with water absorption of 0.5% or below. Most ceramic and porcelain tiles are glazed products. PEI is an abrasion value that indicates the wear and tear of the glazed surface on a scale from 1 to 5. The recommended PEI for residential surfaces is III, for commercial surfaces is IV. PEI V is for extreme foot areas such as malls or airports. Whereas some glossy tiles may have more than 0.5% water absorption level for the glossy glaze stick to the body, almost all porcelain tiles are made within the PEI III-IV rate. A PEI-III porcelain tile will last much longer than a PEI-IV ceramic tile. Montana Maple is a PEI-IV tile.

However, the quality of the setting materials and the installation can increase or lower the durability of the porcelain floors more than ANY PEI OR WATER ABSORPTION VALUE.
