HELPFUL INFORMATION

PORCELAIN TILE :
Q: What is the difference between porcelain tile and ceramic tile?
A: Porcelain tile is more scratch resistant than ceramic tile. Porcelain is made from a finer, more dense clay, which results in a more dense, harder body. Also, porcelain tile is fired at higher temperatures than ceramic, resulting in superior durability and stain resistance.

Q: How do I care for my porcelain tile floor?
A: Porcelain tile is stain-resistant requiring minimal maintenance. Simply wipe up spills with a damp cloth or sponge. Regular cleaning with clear water or a mild detergent is recommended.

Q: What is shade variation?
A: Any variation in color of texture from tile to tile.

Q: What is Moh?
A: A Moh is a scale of hardness developed by the German mineralogist Fredrich Mohs. The scale ranges from 1 (talc) to 10 (diamond).

Porcelain tile offers other advantages, as well:

• Better performance. Mannington porcelain tile can be installed in heavy traffic areas (Class 4 and 5), and some lines are slip-resistant and ADA approved.
• More aesthetically pleasing. Our satin-finish tile exhibits the realistic, authentic look of stone (but without the price of real stone). Through-body construction is superior to redbody because the color is consistent through the entire tile.
  
• Higher perceived value. From a decorating standpoint, porcelain is hot. Because of its higher performance and better aesthetics, people are requesting it by name.
  
• Higher breaking strength. Porcelain contains less clay and more feldspar (a mineral) than regular ceramic tile. It's also pressed at a higher pressure, making it 30% harder than granite.
• Less water absorption. Therefore, less staining and easier to clean.
