Porcelain is technically a type of ceramic, but it has some characteristics that make it unique. Porcelain tiles are very resistant to shock, scratches, wear, stains and chemical agents, making them suitable for multiple uses, both indoors and outdoors. Thanks also to a very low water absorption rate (less than 0.5%), porcelain tiles are one of the most hygienic materials on the market as they can be easily disinfected. Furthermore, from a stylistic point of view they offer countless solutions, coming in a wide range of colors, looks, and textures from which to choose, like marble, wood, stone, concrete effects and much more.
