Pressed Edge Porcelain Tiles

Pressed wall tiles are manufactured using traditional tile pressing methods that create slightly softened edges and subtle surface character. Unlike rectified tiles with perfectly sharp edges, pressed tiles are sometimes intentionally designed this way to achieve a more classic and authentic look.

This technique is especially common in subway tiles and decorative wall formats such as 10×30, where preserving the traditional appearance is part of the design. The gently rounded edges allow grout lines to become a natural part of the installation, creating the timeless style associated with classic subway tile layouts.

Pressed tiles are commonly used for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, shower surrounds, and decorative features, where their softer edges add depth and character while maintaining a clean and elegant appearance. Some older porcelain tile sizes are also still manufactured with pressed edges to provide budget-friendly alternatives while maintaining refined designs and a premium porcelain body

Questions

Understanding Porcelain Tile Quality

First quality” is commonly used when selling porcelain tile, but did you know that you can verify much of what you are told simply by checking the factory boxes?

How do I know if my tile is first quality?

Check the original factory box. Manufacturers identify the tile grade on the packaging, commonly as 1st Quality, A Quality, or A+ Quality. The grade should also match the quality declared on the manufacturer’s commercial invoice used for customs clearance.

How do I know if my tile is rectified?

Most information on a factory tile box is printed in relatively small lettering, but the quality grade is usually much more prominent. It is typically printed along the side of the box in large letters that can extend across much of the box width, making the grade easy to identify.

How do I know my tile is porcelain?

Once you’ve chosen the color and design, one of the most important things to check is the flatness of the tile. With a 48×48 tile, even a small amount of warping can make installation more difficult and increase the risk of uneven edges between tiles.

How do I know if all my tiles are the same shade?

Check the shade code on every factory box. It is commonly identified with terms such as TONE or TONO, followed by a code or number. Depending on the manufacturer, the shade code may be printed directly on the box or shown on a factory label or sticker
