Australian-made Polished Porcelain Tiles from Everstone at Ceramica Tile + Design in Adelaide

ADELAIDE, Australia - Feb. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Ceramica Tile + Design in Adelaide are renowned for having one of the most extensive ranges of premium quality designer tiles in the city. Their showroom is now further enhanced by the Durastone collection of Australian-made polished porcelain floor tiles from Everstone.

Everstone is one of Australia’s leading manufacturers of mosaic and porcelain tiles, specialising in designer ranges of contemporary tiles manufactured from a variety of top-end materials, including natural stone, glass and metal. Their award-winning ranges of tiles are notable for their innovative designs and luxurious finishes, and are now sold around the world.

“Porcelain tiles are such an effective floor covering because they’re so tough and durable. This means they can take a lot of foot traffic, while also being very easy to maintain,” said Anita Sweeting, Design Consultant at Ceramica Tile + Design. “They keep their appearance and stay in good condition for years, because they’re scratch resistant and have qualities similar to those of natural stone.”

Porcelain tiles absorb very little water, are resistant to abrasion and their colours remain vibrant due to their being embedded throughout the tile when they’re being made. They’re also a sustainable product, because they’re made from clay and water that is fired at very high temperatures, can be recycled into other building materials, and don’t contain any waxes or other chemicals.

The Durastone range of porcelain tiles come in nine different colours and a variety of finishes—Brushed, Honed, Matt, Polished, Rock Face and Stream—that enables homeowners to enhance any type of design concept. Porcelain tiles can also be used in high traffic areas of the home or anywhere it’s important to have a non-slip finish, and so are often found in outdoor living areas, and in pool surrounds or wet areas.

The Durastone range also includes polished porcelain tiles, ideally suited to spaces in the home where they can be showcased as a design feature. They’re produced from high-grade materials that produce an inherently shiny finish that adds light and lustre to any room, and when installed in lighter tones, also help to give an illusion of space.

Anita Sweeting added, “The cleaning and maintenance of Durastone porcelain tiles is easy and straightforward, because they’re sealed with a penetrating sealer which means they’re resistant to staining. Even if you do spill something, or get mud and dirt on them, hot water and a neutral detergent, followed by a thorough rinsing will generally clean them up.” Penetrating sealers do not, however, affect the appearance or slip resistance of porcelain tiles, while helping to make everyday maintenance and cleaning much simpler.

Ceramica Tile + Design also offer a free, in-store design consultancy service which means Adelaide homeowners have the opportunity to benefit from the team’s vast knowledge and experience.
