Bathroom Porcelain Tile Installation
When it comes to bathroom flooring, the choice of materials can make or break both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your space. Porcelain tiles have emerged as a premier choice for bathroom floors, offering an impressive combination of durability, water resistance, and design versatility. As modern bathroom design continues to evolve, these tiles have become increasingly popular among homeowners and designers alike, thanks to their exceptional performance in wet environments and their ability to withstand the daily rigors of bathroom use.
Things To Keep In Mind
- Porcelain tiles boast a water absorption rate of 0.5% or less, making them ideal for bathroom environments
- Their manufacturing process creates an exceptionally durable material that resists wear, scratches, and stains
- Available in countless designs, they can authentically mimic natural materials while offering superior performance
- Low maintenance requirements and long-term durability make them cost-effective despite higher initial investment
- Professional installation is crucial due to their weight and specific installation requirements
Durability
Manufacturing Process and Materials
The exceptional durability of porcelain bathroom tiles stems from their sophisticated manufacturing process. These tiles are crafted from refined clay materials, primarily kaolin, combined with feldspar and quartz. What sets them apart is the intense firing process at temperatures exceeding 2,200°F (1,200°C), significantly higher than those used for ceramic tiles.
This rigorous manufacturing process results in tiles that are significantly harder and denser than standard ceramic tiles, with a rating of 7-9 on the Mohs hardness scale, compared to ceramic’s typical 5-6 rating.
Resistance to Wear and Tear
The exceptional durability of porcelain tiles makes them ideal for high-traffic bathroom areas. These tiles consistently outperform other flooring materials in several key aspects:
Through-body porcelain tiles maintain their appearance even after years of heavy use, as their color and pattern extend throughout the entire tile. This characteristic means that even if the surface experiences minor wear, the appearance remains consistent. Studies have shown that properly installed porcelain tiles can last 50 years or more with proper maintenance, significantly outlasting other flooring options.

Real Customer Reviews
I was having some issues with the tiles being installed in my home and I wanted to get some education on the installation process. I wanted this knowledge for myself so I wouldn’t be left entirely at the mercy of any installer but would be able to have an educated conversation. I called Sol and he was very kind and spent time with me on the phone and gave me his advice. Now I know at least what it is Im supposed to look for when the work is being done.
Thank you Sol for the gift of your time and sharing your knowledge.
Sol was great to work with through this whole process of us getting a backsplash done in our kitchen. He is very knowledgeable and has an eye for the little details. The craftsmanship in this work is amazing and the amount of care he puts into the job is shown in the results. He was also very specific in the way he laid out his work station to avoid making any mess in our home.
I would highly recommend going with Sol if you are thinking about doing any tiling work. The whole experience was great.
YOU BETTER CALL SOL!
Sol & Canadian Tile Pro recently demolished and re-tiled our kitchen floor/backsplash, and I have never been more impressed with a contractor. Not only do they offer great responsiveness/customer service, but Sol is a perfectionist. We also purchased the tile from his tile shop and it is top quality. If you are looking for value, timeliness, honesty, perfection, and knowledge – Canadian Tile Pro perfect for you. He is also a really great/funny guy which makes having him on your job site extra enjoyable. It was an absolute pleasure, and I am extremely impressed with the result. I would give 100 stars if that was an option!
