Elevate your space with the timeless elegance of Polished Porcelain Tiles. These captivating porcelain tile stonewares offer the luxurious shine of natural stone combined with the exceptional durability and low-maintenance qualities of porcelain.
What are Polished Porcelain Tiles?
Polished Porcelain Tiles are crafted from porcelain, a fine-grained ceramic known for its exceptional strength and density. After firing, the tiles undergo a polishing process that creates a smooth, reflective surface. This high-gloss finish reflects light beautifully, creating a sense of spaciousness and adding a touch of glamour to any room.

FAQ
What is the difference between polished and unpolished porcelain tiles?
Polished: Shiny, reflective surface, enhances light and creates a spacious feel. Can be slippery when wet.
Unpolished (Matte): Less reflective, provides better traction underfoot. Can hide minor imperfections better.
Which is better, glazed or polished porcelain tiles?
Glazed: A layer of glass is applied to the tile's surface before firing, creating a protective finish with various textures, colors, and finishes (including polished).
Polished: Applies to the final texture of the glazed surface, creating a high-gloss finish. Not all glazed tiles are polished.
What is polished rectified porcelain?
Combines a polished finish with rectified edges. Rectified tiles undergo a precise cutting process, ensuring perfectly straight edges for a seamless, grout-minimized installation.
What are the disadvantages of polished porcelain tiles?
Slippery when wet: Requires caution in high-moisture areas like bathrooms or pool decks.
Shows Scratches: The high gloss can make scratches more noticeable.
Requires More Maintenance: The glossy surface may show dirt and dust more readily.
Is polished porcelain tile waterproof?
Yes, porcelain tiles themselves are waterproof due to the vitrification process during firing. However, grout lines can be susceptible to moisture penetration, so proper sealing is recommended.
Do polished porcelain tiles lose their shine?
Polished porcelain tiles can lose some shine over time with heavy wear or improper cleaning methods using harsh chemicals. Regular cleaning with a neutral pH cleaner helps maintain their luster.
