Porcelain Tile Installation in Miami, FL

Porcelain is fired denser than ceramic and absorbs less than half a percent of water by weight, and that single specification is what makes it suitable for wet areas, exteriors and anywhere freezing is possible. Absorbed water that freezes breaks tile from the inside, which is why the number matters rather than being a technicality.

It is harder to cut and heavier to handle, which is part of why porcelain installation costs more than ceramic. Through-body porcelain carries its colour all the way through the tile, so a chip does not expose a pale layer underneath.

Hardline Surface Co. installs porcelain across Miami, FL, including large format.

Large format tile needs a flatter subfloor than small tile, and the flattening work can cost more than the tile itself. Any quote without floor preparation in it is incomplete rather than competitive.

Porcelain Tile Installation FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Porcelain Tile Installation

Questions we hear most often about Porcelain Tile Installation in Miami, FL.

Talk to a real person
What wear layer do I need for luxury vinyl plank?
12 mil for bedrooms and low traffic, 20 mil for pets, children and entry halls. Total plank thickness is not the number that matters, and a thick plank with a thin wear layer scratches within a year.
Can laminate go in a bathroom?
No. The fibreboard core swells permanently once water reaches it, and swollen laminate can only be replaced, not dried or repaired. Use sheet vinyl, waterproof LVP or tile instead.
Porcelain or ceramic, which should I choose?
Porcelain absorbs under 0.5% water and suits wet areas, exteriors and freeze-prone spaces. Ceramic costs less and is perfectly good for dry indoor floors, walls and backsplashes.
Is water-resistant the same as waterproof?
No. Water-resistant survives a spill wiped up quickly. Waterproof survives a supply line failing overnight. Only one of those is what a bathroom or laundry floor actually faces.
What is the PEI rating and why does it matter?
It rates a tile's surface wear resistance. PEI 1 and 2 are wall tiles, and putting one on a floor wears the glaze through. It is a common and completely avoidable mistake.
