Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about porcelain tile installation in Edinburgh

What are the benefits of porcelain tiles?

Porcelain tiles offer exceptional durability, water resistance (less than 0.5% absorption), stain resistance, low maintenance, frost resistance for outdoor use, scratch resistance, and long lifespan. They are denser and harder than ceramic tiles, making them ideal for high-traffic areas, bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial spaces in Edinburgh.

Can porcelain tiles be used outdoors in Edinburgh?

Yes, porcelain tiles are excellent for outdoor use in Edinburgh due to their frost resistance and low water absorption. They withstand freeze-thaw cycles, resist moisture damage, and maintain their appearance in all weather. We install porcelain tiles for patios, balconies, outdoor kitchens, and entrance areas with appropriate outdoor adhesives and grouts.

How do porcelain tiles compare to ceramic tiles?

Porcelain tiles are denser, harder, and more water-resistant than ceramic tiles. Porcelain has less than 0.5% water absorption versus 3-7% for ceramic. Porcelain is more durable, suitable for outdoor use, and better for high-traffic areas. However, porcelain is more expensive and harder to cut. We recommend porcelain for bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial spaces.

What is the cost of porcelain tile installation in Edinburgh?

Porcelain tile installation costs vary by tile size and project complexity. Labour costs range from £50-70/m² for standard porcelain tiles. Large format porcelain is £60-80/m². Rectified edge porcelain is £55-75/m². This includes preparation, installation, and grouting. Porcelain tiles themselves cost £25-80/m² depending on quality and design. Free quotes available.

Do porcelain tiles require sealing?

Glazed porcelain tiles do not require sealing as they have a protective glazed surface. Unglazed or matte porcelain tiles may benefit from sealing to protect against staining, especially in kitchens and high-use areas. We assess each tile type and recommend sealing where appropriate. Grout lines should always be sealed for protection and easy cleaning.
