The kitchen is a high-traffic area that is constantly exposed to moisture, heat, and grease. This makes it especially important to choose a durable tile.

In the market we find different types of tiles, such as white-bodied, red-bodied, and porcelain. For kitchen we recommend porcelain stoneware to ensure high durability and resistance. In fact, at Porcelánicos Gran Formato we have chosen to work only with this material, to give the best quality to our customers.

One of the advantages of large porcelain stoneware in the kitchen is that, by reducing the joints and not being porous, it facilitates cleaning, without the need to use special products.

Always check that the tile you are buying is porcelain and if possible combine it with epoxy grout to ensure the best hygiene in the kitchen.

To ensure that the joints are minimal and the finish is the best, always remember that the best large format porcelain tile must be rectified.

This means that it is rectified once production is finished, leaving straight edges and precise finishes.

When making a kitchen island, we can use XXL porcelain, but always keeping in mind that the thinner the tile, the greater the risk of breakage. Therefore, it is stipulated to always use tiles at least 9mm thick.

For furniture cladding, it is recommended to use thin tiles. With a reduced thickness, you will get an elegant and sophisticated look. In general, a thickness of about 6mm is sufficient for these purposes.

For kitchen floors, greater strength and durability are required due to the constant traffic and weight they support. To ensure the proper stability and resistance, it is recommended to use large ceramic tiles with a thickness of at least 9mm, although the most important thing for floors is the correct placement.

When a piece on the floor breaks, it is usually because of mortar gaps in the base at the time of placement and there is no even distribution of the weight of the piece. This point is very important and should be taken into special consideration, always trust a professional for installation!

When it comes to kitchen walls, you have more flexibility in terms of the thickness of the tile. You can opt for 9-10 mm tiles, so you could use the same product that is used on the floor or on the island, for example. However, if you are looking to maximize space and reduce weight, you can use thinner tiles, although this may increase the price of the tile.
