Traditional porcelain tiles have been a go-to material for commercial and residential design schemes for some time, but just lately we’ve seen demand for thin porcelain tiles.

Don’t let looks deceive you, despite their sleek profile they are just as strong as regular porcelain tiles, and well suited to both walls and floors, adding a contemporary edge to interior spaces. Produced using the latest digital technology, thicknesses can range from 3mm to 7mm, which is thinner and lighter than most porcelain tiles, but offers the same strength and durability. The weight reduction means less material resulting in a wide variety of project applications, from residential settings to commercial spaces, as well as lower shipping costs which is an important factor in today’s turbulent trading environment.

As striking as they are strong, thin porcelain tiles are resistant to moisture, bacteria, heat, stains and scratches, plus they are easier to cut and install than their thicker counterparts, making them popular with tilers and tradespeople. Lighter to carry, these thinner alternatives open up the possibilities for porcelain tiles to be used in hotels and high rise developments where weight can be an issue. Another benefit is that porcelain, of any thickness, doesn’t require any sealing, making installation and maintenance quick and easy.

This manufacturing technique is being seen on all the latest styles and formats, including tiles as large as 600 by 1,200mm. This on trend look is mainly focused around stone-effects, realistic marble and concrete designs in both polished and matt finishes. Contemporary with a high-end feel, these styles bring the outdoors in with dramatic details and pattern variations delivering stylish surfaces that transform walls and floors.

With so many benefits, it’s clear to see why thin profile porcelain tiles are proving to be a hit with the trade and designers, so expect more designs and innovations in this space.
