Boost Balance Porcelain Tile Collection

Boost Balance is a porcelain tile range from 1867 Floors made in Italy. Concrete-look tile gives the flat, quiet tone of a poured floor without the curing, cracking or sealing. Porcelain is fired hotter and denser than ceramic, which is why it takes water, frost and traffic that a wall tile cannot, and an absorption rate at or below 0.5 percent is the threshold that defines it. A matte face holds light rather than throwing it back, which hides dust and water spotting between cleans. The range is made in 24" x 24". At this size the grout lines fall further apart, which makes a room look larger than a small-format tile would. Rectified edges are cut square after firing, which lets a tiler close the joint to around an eighth of an inch. It suits walls and floors through the home. Frost resistance means the same tile can carry through to a covered porch or a three-season room.
