Porcelain stoneware

Patio slabs, tiles & more

The most popular flooring for outdoor and indoor use are patio slabs and floor tiles or porcelain stoneware tiles.
Compared to conventional tiles, porcelain stoneware shines with its outstanding technical properties. Both the moisture resistance and durability of sandstone make it ideal for use in outdoor areas such as patios, pools or gardens. Terrace tiles LINKING and tiles made of porcelain stoneware are extremely solid, can withstand pretty much any wear and tear and only absorb a very small amount of water. They are very similar to natural stone and are available in many variations. There are therefore no limits to the use of porcelain stoneware both indoors and outdoors.
Another very popular characteristic of fine stone is its particularly simple care.

The properties of porcelain stoneware

Porcelain stoneware can be used for a wide range of applications. Compared to other tiles or floor tiles, porcelain stoneware offers many advantages not only indoors but also outdoors. The wide range of colors (beige, grey, etc.) and the different surface finishes (glossy, matt, etc.) also make it possible to customize the design of your rooms.

We show you the Advantages at a glance:

  • Large area of application
    Indoor & outdoor, floor tiles, tiles or slabs, etc.
  • Robust and resistant surface
    Fireproof, extremely break-resistant, withstands high stress, etc.
  • Low water absorption
    The water absorption is less than 0.5 %. This is particularly important for floor tiles in wet rooms and patio tiles.
  • Many different designs & colors
    Light, dark, glazed, etc.
    in beige, matt, gray, etc.
  • Frost resistance

 

  • Many different design options
    Large or small slabs, wood look, marble, natural, matt, etc.
  • Particularly easy to clean
    For conventional soiling on the surface, clear water is often sufficient. Special porcelain stoneware cleaning agents are available for tougher stains
  • Looks very natural - modeled on natural stone
    The floor tile is deceptively realistically modeled on natural stone and therefore looks very natural
  • Can be used as slabs, floor tiles and/or tiles

A brief overview of the disadvantages:

  • Elaborate laying of floor tiles & co
    Compared to a conventional floor tile, slab or tile, porcelain stoneware is produced in large-format tiles or patio slabs. This can pose challenges during installation.
  • Higher price
    Compared to conventional tiles, porcelain stoneware can be expensive
  • Maximum load capacity of the abrasion class
    The abrasion classes refer to the maximum load-bearing capacity. If the abrasion class is too low, frequent use will lead to signs of wear.

Areas of application for porcelain stoneware

Indoors

Porcelain stoneware is mostly used indoors in kitchens or bathrooms due to its low water absorption. They are particularly popular as floor tiles in beige, gray or matt, but they also add an elegant touch to your walls. Due to the many different design options and high wear resistance, porcelain stoneware offers the opportunity to elegantly brighten up your kitchen and turn your bathroom into an oasis of well-being with an optimum feel-good factor. 

Porcelain stoneware slabs and tiles can be laid with a glazed, polished or unglazed surface. There are also no limits to the color selection of the wall or floor tiles, whether beige, grey, matt or similar to natural stone, the choice is huge!

In the outdoor area

The low water absorption, ease of maintenance and robust and hard-wearing surface of porcelain stoneware make it ideal for outdoor use. The material is an absolute all-rounder as patio slabs, but also as tiles, and makes many hearts beat faster.

The use of porcelain stoneware tiles in outdoor areas is particularly recommended for stone steps or pool surrounds.

For an outdoor floor tile, an unglazed surface is advisable as it is more slip-resistant than a smooth surface.

Requirements and suitability of porcelain stoneware

Due to their robustness, durability and low water absorption, careful production is particularly important. 

The tiles are pressed under very high pressure and fired at over 1,000 degrees in the kiln. Due to the high pressure and firing, the slabs and tiles become dense and the water absorption is less than 0.5%. During firing, the material is almost completely compacted, leaving no open pores. This means that it can withstand almost any stress.
