Stone Effect Porcelain Tiles
A stone effect tile is a porcelain that closely mimics the colours and patterns of natural stone. These can mimic limestone, sandstone, travertine, slate, and many other natural stone varieties.
Porcelain is a man-made product that combines kaolin clay, finely ground sand and feldspar. The clay mixture is fired to an extremely high temperature, resulting in a very dense tile that benefits from low water absorption and high strength.
One of the main attractions of stone effect tiles is the wide variety of sizes and formats available, from smaller square and rectangular tiles to larger formats including mixed ‘Opus’ patterns. You are sure to find the perfect size and format of stone effect tiles to suit your project.
The variations and features to be expected in stone effect tiles depends on the range. Some ranges are contemporary and display little to no variation from tile to tile, whilst other ranges provide a more rustic, limestone like appearance and can therefore mimic veining, fossils and oxidisation. The product page will advise the level of variation the range has.
The biggest benefit of stone effect tiles made from porcelain or ceramic is their ease of maintenance. You need not worry about staining or scratches due to the non-porous and hardwearing nature of stone effect tiles, and they also do not require sealing.

Sweeping and vacuuming (with the soft attachment) is great to pick up crumbs etc from the floor, whilst an occasional mop will keep your stone effect tiles hygienic and lift light stains.
