ABC Ceramic introducing large format porcelain tiles to Oman. Al Baraka Ceramics LLC , recently opened it’s first showroom in Barka, Sultanate of Oman.

Why are large format tiles typically porcelain?  To avoid getting into the nitty-gritty, it’s because of how the tile is made.  Porcelain tile is fired at a higher temperature.  Also, the composition is denser because of how it’s stamped or pressed before the firing process.  It all equates to better durability and the ability to increase the size of surface area of porcelain tile.

Porcelain tile is an excellent option for commercial or residential spaces.  The next time you’re out to eat at one of your favorite restaurants, check out what’s under your feet.  Chances are, it’s a porcelain tile.  Designers of commercial spaces like hospitality, use porcelain tile because it often has a higher coefficient of friction.  In laman’s terms, the way porcelain tiles are glazed means you’re less likely to slip.
