Porcelain Tile

All of Florida Tile’s porcelain products are Certified Porcelain by the Porcelain Tile Certification Agency (PTCA). This certification is given only to products that meet the ANSI® 137.1 requirements to be a porcelain tile, absorption of less than 0.5%. Florida Tile tests every single tile collection to attain this certification as a service for our customers.

To be certified, each tile must be independently tested by an accredited laboratory, which must forward the results directly to the PTCA. By looking for the Certified Porcelain logo, you can rest assured that you are getting what you paid for, a true porcelain tile.
