Porcelain mosaic tile is made from a dense clay body fired at high temperature. The low porosity that results is why porcelain — rather than ceramic — is specified for floors, swimming pools, exterior surfaces and any installation exposed to frost or heavy traffic.
We supply porcelain mosaic on a sourcing basis, and confirm absorption, slip and frost data against the project requirement before order acceptance.
When porcelain is the right choice
- Floors and heavy traffic. A dense body resists abrasion better than glazed ceramic.
- Exterior and frost exposure. Low absorption reduces freeze–thaw damage.
- Commercial wet areas. Pool surrounds, shower floors and commercial kitchens.
- Chemical exposure. More resistant to cleaning chemicals than a soft glazed surface.
What to specify
| Property | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Water absorption | Determines frost resistance and suitability for permanently wet areas |
| DCOF / slip resistance | Required for floors in wet or public areas |
| PEI abrasion rating | Indicates suitability for floor traffic |
| Breaking strength | Relevant for floors and raised access applications |
| Chemical resistance | Relevant for pools treated with chlorine or salt systems |
Test values are issued per batch. We do not quote generic industry averages as if they were the values of your shipment — request the batch report.
Applications we supply for
See swimming pool mosaic for waterline and pool shell specification, and commercial mosaic tile for high-traffic public spaces.
Quality, testing and compliance
Production is supported by third-party testing. Certificates currently on file cover SGS material testing, RoHS compliance, ISO 9001 quality management and Intertek inspection. Test reports are issued per production batch.
Material data sheets — including water absorption, dimensional tolerance, DCOF, PEI rating and frost resistance where applicable — are supplied with each quotation so specifiers can verify performance against project requirements rather than rely on generic claims.
Ordering, sampling and lead time
| Sample | Cut samples from current stock; custom colors require a development lead time |
| MOQ | Confirmed per series and finish at quotation stage |
| Lead time | Confirmed per order; stock items ship faster than production runs |
| Packing | Export cartons on pallets, with project or private-label marking on request |
| Documents | Commercial invoice, packing list, test reports, certificate of origin |
