Modern-day porcelain uses high-pressure and high-temperature techniques for increased density and durability, making it an ideal choice for both interior and exterior applications. Today’s porcelain pavers and tile are made to perform in high-traffic areas, withstand harsh weather conditions, and resist stains.
