Patterned Tile Options

While our patterned tile is mostly porcelain, it’s an amazing product because of its durability and versatility. Maintenance for such tile is so simple. Because porcelain is not a natural stone product, thus eliminating porosity, this product never needs to be sealed for stain prevention. Normal maintenance for porcelain tile consists of wiping with warm water and a pH-balanced neutral cleaner if needed. You want to avoid using detergents because they could leave behind a film that will leave a dull appearance and dampen their beauty.
