Why porcelain outperforms every other tile
Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures from a denser clay than standard ceramic, which makes it less than 0.5 percent porous, harder than granite, and rated for commercial-grade traffic. Elite Northwest Flooring installs porcelain tile in homes and businesses across the Greater Seattle Area, backed by the same flooring installation process and Lifetime Workmanship Warranty on every job.
Modern porcelain comes in wood-look planks, marble-look slabs, concrete-look squares, and outdoor-rated textured options, so you get the look of any natural material without the upkeep.
Where porcelain is the right call in a wet climate
Porcelain is the safest specification for any high-use, wet, or high-value space, which describes most rooms in a Pacific Northwest home for a good chunk of the year.
- Wood-look porcelain planks, all the look of hardwood with none of the water-damage risk
- Large-format slabs, fewer grout lines and a cleaner, more open feel
- Marble and stone-look porcelain, the look of quarried stone without a sealing schedule
- Outdoor patios and covered decks, freeze-thaw rated with slip-resistant finishes available
- Commercial spaces, meets abrasion ratings for retail and restaurant traffic

Porcelain demands precision. Large-format and plank-shaped tiles are unforgiving of an uneven subfloor, even a small dip will telegraph through. We laser-level every floor, use leveling clips on every install, and back-butter each piece for full mortar coverage.
We also use the right cutting tools, since porcelain dulls a standard wet saw blade in minutes. Our crew runs diamond blades built for porcelain so every cut around an outlet, vent, or corner comes out clean. If you're pairing your new floor with a matching backsplash, see our wall tile page, or book a free estimate and we'll quote the whole project.

Porcelain Tile - frequently asked questions
Yes, porcelain is denser, less porous, and harder. For floors, wet areas, and any high-traffic space, it's worth the modest price upgrade over standard ceramic tile.
Modern wood-look porcelain is remarkably convincing, especially in wider plank widths with textured surfaces. Most guests can't tell unless they get down on their hands and knees.
Porcelain itself is extremely hard, but it can crack if the subfloor flexes underneath it, which is why we use uncoupling membranes on plywood subfloors and large-format installs.
It depends on the finish. We recommend matte or textured finishes for bathrooms, entries, and outdoor use given how much rain this area sees, and reserve polished porcelain for dry rooms only.
