Energy Efficient
Porcelain tile can reduce the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling because of its exceptional thermal mass. This helps moderate temperature swings in your home which means less work for your HVAC system and more energy savings for you.
Unlike many other flooring materials, porcelain tile is inert and therefore is ideal for use with the most modern applications of floor heating and cooling systems; these systems can be used without causing any damage to the porcelain tile flooring.
Being composed of natural ingredients such as clays, quartz and feldspars and then fired up to 2,500° F, porcelain tile is 100% plastic free. This means a healthier living environment.
