Inter Gres Porcelain and Ceramic Tile in Mississauga and Barrie

Inter Gres makes both porcelain and ceramic, and the difference guides where each belongs. Porcelain is denser and absorbs very little water, around half a percent or less, which makes it the choice for floors, bathrooms, entries, and anywhere that sees moisture or traffic. Ceramic is a little softer and is well suited to walls and backsplashes, where its lighter weight and easy cutting are an advantage. For a floor, especially a wet or busy one, porcelain is the safer pick; for a wall or backsplash, either works.

The Inter Gres range spans wood-look tile for the warmth of wood with the durability of porcelain, marble looks for a dressier bathroom or feature wall, and stone and concrete looks for a contemporary floor. That makes it flexible across a project: a wood-look porcelain in the main rooms, a marble-look on a bathroom wall, and a concrete-look in a modern kitchen, all from one brand. As with any tile, a smaller tile or a textured finish is the right call on a shower floor, where the extra grout lines add grip.

Inter Gres suits a kitchen floor or backsplash, a bathroom, an entry, a laundry, or a living-area floor, in a home or a lighter commercial space. Tile only performs if the base and the setting are right, so the waterproof membrane, a flat subfloor, and the grout are the real work behind a lasting floor. Bring your room measurements to either store and our team will help you choose the right Inter Gres tile for the room, and our in-house crews can install it.

In simple terms: Inter Gres is a European porcelain and ceramic tile line in wood, marble, stone, and concrete looks. Use the porcelain on floors and in wet areas, ceramic on walls and backsplashes, and a smaller or textured tile on a shower floor for grip.
