Porcelain Tile Installation in San Diego
Porcelain is one of the most durable, low-maintenance tile materials available. Our certified installers set it correctly so it performs for decades.
Porcelain is a ceramic tile fired at very high temperatures, which makes it denser, harder, and more water resistant than standard ceramic. It works beautifully indoors and out.
Proper installation matters. We use a modified thin-set mortar for a stronger bond and take the time to lay porcelain flat and even.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better, ceramic or porcelain tile?
Both are good. Porcelain is denser, harder, and more water resistant, so it is the stronger choice for high-traffic and wet areas. Ceramic can be a more affordable option for lighter-use spaces.
Is porcelain tile durable?
Yes. Fired at high temperatures, porcelain is one of the most durable flooring materials, resisting scratches, moisture, and wear.
Do porcelain tiles crack easily?
Quality porcelain installed over a properly prepared, level substrate rarely cracks. Most cracking comes from poor prep or substrate movement, which is why professional installation matters.
How do I clean porcelain tile?
Use warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap and a soft cloth or mop. For stubborn spots, a soft brush works well. Avoid harsh abrasives.
How long before I can walk on new porcelain tile?
Plan to stay off the tile for about 24 hours while the thin-set cures, then allow grouting and sealing time as needed.
