Porcelanosa Ceramic Tiles?? - TilersForums.com

[actionjackson]

I'm very keen on these tiles for my bathroom but given the price (approx £55/mtr) I was expecting them to be porcelain.

Porcelonosa Ruggine & Ferroker range.

Question is, should i be concerned they are ceramic and not porcelain?

if they are on the walls no porcelonosa were one of the best made tiles in the world when i used to do domestics 15 years ago not sure if that has changed

for the walls you should not be concerned at all.

What about the floor.....

 

[kilty55]

why should you be concerned action?

 

[actionjackson]

I had it in my head that a ceramic tile was a lower quality tile, especially considering the price!

Most tiles from Porcelanosa are very good quality...

Its not a simple as that. Ceramics are not a lower quality porcelain. If they are suitable for what you want them for (floor/wet areas and so on) then you should have no concerns at all.

what size tiles? just make sure that if you're doing the floors that they are suitable. At the start of a large commercial job I expressed my concerns as the main contractor wanted the same 1000 x 333 on the floor as on the walls, a phone call to porcelanosa justified my doubts:smilewinkgrin:
