Serenely beautiful, yet tremendously strong and durable, Porcealto is a study in contrasts. With its fashionably luxurious look, you would never guess that it can withstand the toughest stains and even frost. Evenly colored throughout its porcelain body, Porcealto will retain its magnificence for years. Available in a range of colors and surface finishes, including polished, unpolished, textured and sandblasted.

Notes:

  • **A Cross Grid (skid-resistant) surface finish is available by special order, in 8" x 8" only in select colors.

  • SP = Denotes Special Order.

  • Numbers in ( ) indicate price group. (1) is least expensive.

  • Check chart for size and surface availability.

  • Special care should be taken when grouting with dark pigmented colors. A grout release is recommended to prevent finely powdered pigments from lodging in the pores of the tile surface.

  • Use of a latex modified thin-set is recommended for installation. Not for use on ramps.

  • Since there are variations in all fired ceramic products, the tile and trim supplied for your particular installation may not match these samples. Final color selection should be made from actual tiles and trim and not from tile and trim samples or color reproductions. Manufactured in accordance with ANSI A137.1 standards.
