Ceratec Portland Bianco Matte Porcelain Tile 12" x 24"

Large tile means fewer grout lines to scrub, and a room reads bigger with them. Portland Bianco gives you that in 12" x 24".

In simple terms: Portland Bianco is a 12x24 porcelain tile for floors and walls, indoors and out.

It is the matte finish in Bianco from the Ceratec Portland range.

The actual size is 11.8" x 23.6" (300 x 600 mm). It is 7.5 mm thick. The spec sheet lists PEI IV surface abrasion rating, a wet DCOF slip reading of 0.71, an R9 slip rating and water absorption of 0.3%. It is rated for commercial traffic. It is frost resistant. Shade variation is V2, slight. It is designed by Ceratec in Canada and made in Turkey. Porcelain is fired dense, so it handles water, spills and daily foot traffic and the tile itself never needs sealing.

It suits open-plan floors, living areas, basements, shower and bathroom walls, covered porches and patios and commercial floors such as stores and offices. Pick it over a smaller tile when you want fewer grout lines; pick smaller if the floor is out of level.

Each box holds 9 pieces and covers 17.4 sq ft, so a 150 sq ft kitchen floor takes 9 boxes, or 10 boxes with about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 7 boxes with the 10% extra included.

It is listed for outdoor use, but an outdoor floor also needs the right base and slope, so ask us before planning it outside.

In this size, Portland also comes in Grigio. Bianco also comes in 24" x 24". For edges, Ceratec recommends a 3/8" trim profile.
