Porcelain Tiles

An interior floor that stops dead at the patio door is a missed opportunity, not a design choice. Porcelain tile for entries, kitchens, bathrooms, feature walls, and fireplace walls — planned to carry the same material language outside, so the transition from great room to patio feels intentional instead of abrupt.

Porcelain tile performance data

Performance standards behind the surface.

Use this general North American porcelain tile reference as an early planning tool. Exact collection, finish, lot, and project documentation should be confirmed before final specification.

Low water absorption

< 0.5% under ASTM C373 for the general porcelain tile reference.

Interior wet classification

Matte-finish DCOF performance is reported under ANSI A326.3 as IW — Interior, Wet.

Freeze / thaw resistant

The general porcelain reference is reported resistant under ASTM C1026.

Stain & chemical resistant

General testing is reported unaffected under ASTM C1378 and ASTM C650.

Breaking strength

250 lbf or greater under ASTM C648 for the general North American tile reference.

How to use this data: this is a general manufacturer performance reference for porcelain tile, primarily reflecting average production and matte-finish testing. It is not a product-specific certificate or a guarantee for every color, finish, caliber, lot, installation, or use condition.

  • Confirm the exact collection, finish, caliber, shade, lot, and intended application before ordering.
  • DCOF classifications do not make any tile slip-proof. Slope, drainage, contaminants, footwear, maintenance, grout joints, and site conditions affect traction.
  • Use tiles from the same caliber and production lot in visually continuous areas whenever possible.
  • Product-specific laboratory reports may be requested when a specification or commercial project requires documented values.
9 mm Grip-finish porcelain tiles

A textured tile option for wet and exterior applications.

Grip finish keeps the coordinated color and design of selected tile collections while adding a more textured surface for projects that call for enhanced traction. Availability is limited to the sizes shown below.

Exterior wet classification

Grip-finish porcelain tile is reported as EW — Exterior, Wet under ANSI A326.3.

Enhanced DCOF

Current manufacturer guidance identifies Grip finish with DCOF ≥ 0.70 under the stated test method.

R11 ramp classification

Grip finish is reported R11 under EN 16165, formerly DIN 51130.

A+B+C barefoot classification

Grip finish is reported A+B+C under EN 16165, formerly DIN 51097.

Grip finish is a 9 mm porcelain tile option—not a universal substitute for a 20 mm paver. It can support exterior and wet-area design where the exact collection, format, substrate, bonded installation system, drainage, slope, and project conditions are suitable.

  • No tile surface is slip-proof. Water, contaminants, footwear, slope, grout joints, maintenance, and site conditions affect traction.
  • Confirm that the exact color and size are offered in Grip finish before ordering; Grip availability is collection-specific.
  • Use the 20 mm paver where the selected dry-laid, pedestal, gravel, sand-set, or other installation method requires the thicker paver format.
  • Product-specific laboratory reports and current technical documents may be requested for specification-driven projects.
