Which is better glazed or polished porcelain tiles?

Porcelain is a more durable material than ceramic, therefore it is an ideal choice for flooring. Whether you choose glazed porcelain or polished porcelain tiles, depends on what overall look you would like to achieve. Polished porcelain is better if you want an effortlessly stylish look that has instant Wow factor. The mechanical polishing process used to finish polished porcelain opens up micro pores on the tile’s surface, meaning polished porcelain tiles will require sealing when installing to ensure the best resistance to staining and moisture.

Are polished porcelain tiles hard to keep clean?

We recommend sealing polished porcelain tiles when fixing to provide extra protection against water and stains. Once fixed and sealed, the glossy surface of polished porcelain tiles enables them to be easily wiped clean with a hot, water dampened cloth.

How do you keep polished porcelain tiles shiny?

You can easily keep your polished porcelain floor tiles looking shiny new. Firstly vacuum dust and loose dirt from your floor or use a dry dust mop rather than a broom. Next, clean over the tiles using a hot, water dampened mop with a mild cleaning solution, being careful not to allow water to pool on the floor. Finally rinse the floor with clean water and wipe dry carefully with a soft cloth to increase the shine.
