Porcelain Tile Flooring

What This Service Involves

Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures than ordinary ceramic, giving it exceptional density, hardness, and near-zero water absorption. That makes it outstanding for entryways, laundry rooms, and bathrooms that battle constant Puget Sound moisture and tracked-in rain. Many porcelain lines convincingly mimic wood, marble, or concrete while outlasting all of them. We install it with the correct substrate and membrane so it performs for the long haul.

Benefits

Near-zero water absorption for wet areas; extremely hard and impact resistant; realistic wood, stone, and concrete looks available; low maintenance and highly stain resistant

Our Process

1) Assess and prepare a rigid substrate; 2) Apply waterproofing or uncoupling membrane; 3) Set porcelain with full thinset coverage; 4) Grout, seal joints, and detail edges

What Affects the Cost

Porcelain grade and plank versus square format; density of cuts and layout; substrate reinforcement needs; grout and sealant selection; overall area covered

Best Time of Year

Porcelain flooring is an indoor job suited to every season, with winter installs simply requiring extra cure time for setting materials.
