Why porcelain is a standout tile

Why porcelain is a standout tile

Porcelain is made from dense clay fired at high heat, which gives a tile that barely absorbs water and resists wear. Volunteer Flooring & Design installs porcelain in homes and businesses across Knoxville, from kitchens to covered porches.

Today's porcelain mimics wood planks, marble slabs, and concrete, so you can get nearly any look with little upkeep. For tile in general, start at our tile flooring page.

Where porcelain is the right call

Where porcelain is the right call

Porcelain suits busy, wet, or high-value spaces. It handles Tennessee's freeze-and-thaw swings when rated for it, and it does not fade in sunlight.

  • Wood-look planks - the look of hardwood without water-damage worry
  • Large-format tiles - fewer grout lines and a modern feel
  • Marble-look and stone-look porcelain - less upkeep than real stone
  • Outdoor patios - choose a rated, slip-resistant finish
  • Light commercial use - durable in retail and offices
Installation matters

Installation matters

Large tiles and long planks do not forgive uneven floors. We check flatness, use leveling methods, and make sure the mortar fully supports each piece. Porcelain also dulls ordinary blades quickly, so we cut with the right diamond tools for clean edges at outlets, vents, and corners.

Porcelain Tile - frequently asked questions

Porcelain is denser and tougher, so it is usually worth the small step up for floors and wet rooms.

Wider textured planks look surprisingly convincing. If you want actual wood, see our hardwood flooring page, or a softer alternative in luxury vinyl plank.

The tile is hard, but a flexing subfloor can crack it. That is why we check structure first and use membranes where they help.

Matte and textured finishes grip better, so we pick those for bathrooms, entries, and outdoor spaces. Polished finishes belong in dry rooms.
