This Avon Gris 14x28 porcelain tile comes in a polished finish.
The tile uses inkjet technology, which has transformed porcelain tiles by making it possible for more realistic reproductions of other surface materials (examples include stone and wood).
This tile is rectified, meaning it has been precisely cut around the edges in order to make near-perfect straight edges and consistent dimensions of the tile. Another benefit of rectified tiles is minimal grout lines, which makes for an almost-seamless look (especially if you choose a grout color that closely matches the color of your tile).
"PEI" is the abbreviation for Porcelain Enamel Institute. A PEI Rating (scale from 1-5) is given to a tile product based the hardness of its glaze. This hardness is determined by the manufacturer using a standardized test. The results of this test will determine the proper usage of a product. This tile is rated at 4 PEI, suitable for residential, medium commercial, and light institutional applications (examples include restaurants, hotels, hospital lobbies, and corridors).
The benefits of porcelain include durability, liquid resistance, stain resistant, low maintenance, and an affordable alternative to natural stone that looks beautiful wherever it is installed.
