How should I clean and maintain porcelain tiles?

Regular cleaning with warm water and a mild soap (or neutral pH tile cleaner) is sufficient for porcelain. Avoid harsh acidic or ammonia-based cleaners (they can damage grout and glaze). After cleaning, dry tiles thoroughly.

Do porcelain tiles require sealing?

No. Glazed porcelain tiles are impervious and do not require sealing. However, it is often recommended to seal grout lines to protect them from stains, since grout can absorb dirt over time.

How do I clean rust stains from bathroom tiles?

Use a specialized acid-based tile cleaner diluted in water, or a paste of baking soda and lemon juice for a natural alternative (only on ceramic/vitrified).

What is "Lippage" in tile installation?

Lippage is a condition where the edges of adjacent tiles are not at the same height, often caused by an uneven substrate or poor installation of large tiles.

What causes "Tenting" or "Popping" of tiles?

Tenting occurs when tiles expand due to heat but have no room to move because of insufficient grout joints, causing them to lift or buckle.

Porto | Designer Vitrified Tiles

Shaped by Coastal Character

Meet The Collection: Porto

The Porto Collection draws inspiration from coastal stone and time-worn textures, translating natural erosion patterns into contemporary surfaces. Subtle surface undulations and softened edges echo materials shaped gradually by wind and water, creating a sense of organic movement within a controlled design language. Its gently layered detailing introduces depth without heaviness, offering a tactile yet composed aesthetic. Designed for interiors that value authenticity and relaxed refinement, Porto brings grounded warmth and enduring character to modern architectural spaces.

Explore Porto

A contemporary surface defined by weathered textures and muted earthy tones, blending natural character with refined spatial clarity.

Porto’s Calm, Layered Warmth

Porto’s matted elegance is drawn from the deep logic of natural stone — earthy tones that shift from warm sand to cool slate, accented by the subtle mineral flecks of geological formation. Its Quilltouch surface is velvety to the touch, low-sheen by design, diffusing light with quiet restraint. Strong enough for high-traffic environments. Soft enough to anchor a home.

Textured Composition

Porto combines soft stone movement with balanced earthy tones — available in 1200×1800 mm and 600×1200 mm, with 9mm thickness and Quilltouch surface across five shades and one punch variant. Porto is built on contrast: stone movement that feels ancient, surfaces engineered for permanence. Quilltouch finish delivers a velvety, non-reflective matt with PEI-V abrasion resistance and R9 slip resistance — in five shades, two formats, one considered punch.
