Built to Perform, Styled to Impress
Porcelain tiles aren’t just tough—they’re incredibly versatile too. Because they’re fired at higher temperatures than ceramic, they’re denser and more resistant to chips, scratches, and moisture. That makes them a smart pick for bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and outdoor areas. Available in large formats, matte or polished finishes, and even textured slip-rated options, porcelain tiles offer the look of natural materials without the high upkeep.
Whether you’re after a minimalist, industrial vibe or something warm and classic, there’s a porcelain tile to suit the job. Plus, with rectified edges and consistent sizing, they’re great for clean, modern lines and seamless layouts. Not sure where to start? Our expert team can help you narrow it down.

FAQs
What are the benefits of porcelain tiles?
Porcelain tiles offer several key advantages, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects. They’re extremely dense and less porous than ceramic tiles, which means they absorb less water and are more resistant to stains, scratches, and wear.
This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas, wet zones like bathrooms and kitchens, and even outdoor applications. Porcelain tiles also come in a wide range of colours, patterns, and finishes—including styles that mimic natural stone, timber, or concrete—allowing for flexibility in design without compromising durability.
Can porcelain tiles be used outdoors?
Yes, many porcelain tiles are specifically rated for outdoor use. Their dense composition makes them resistant to moisture, frost, fading, and temperature changes, which is essential for external environments. Outdoor porcelain tiles often feature textured or slip-resistant finishes for safety on patios, balconies, pathways, and pool surrounds.
When selecting porcelain tiles for outdoor use, it’s important to check the slip rating and ensure they meet Australian safety standards (look for a P4 or P5 rating for wet areas). Their low maintenance and long-lasting appearance make them a popular choice for exterior projects.
Do porcelain tiles need to be sealed?
In most cases, glazed porcelain tiles do not require sealing because their surface is already non-porous and resistant to moisture and stains. However, unglazed or polished porcelain may benefit from sealing to prevent surface staining and make cleaning easier, especially in high-use areas.
The grout between tiles, regardless of the tile type, should always be sealed to protect against moisture, discolouration, and mildew buildup. Regular maintenance, including gentle cleaning with a pH-neutral product, helps preserve the appearance and longevity of both the tiles and grout.
