Porcelain tile, the toughest floor money can buy

Porcelain tile is fired at higher temperatures from a denser clay than standard ceramic. The result is a tile that's less than 0.5% porous (effectively waterproof), harder than granite, and rated for commercial-grade traffic. Ohio Carpet and Flooring installs porcelain tile in homes and businesses across Greater Columbus, and it's what we recommend most often for wet or high-traffic rooms.

Modern porcelain comes in wood-look planks, marble-look slabs, concrete-look squares, and textured outdoor-rated options. You can get the look of any natural material without any of the maintenance, or compare it directly against the real thing on our natural stone page.

Porcelain demands precision. Large-format and plank-shaped tiles are unforgiving of subfloor unevenness, even 1/8" of dip will telegraph through. We laser-level every floor, use leveling clips on every install, and back-butter every plank for 95%+ mortar coverage.

We also use the right cutting tools. Porcelain dulls a standard wet saw blade in minutes, we run rim-segmented diamond blades and an angle grinder with a porcelain-rated wheel for clean cuts at every outlet, vent, and corner.
