Delicato Porcelain Tile Collection

Delicato is a porcelain tile range from 1867 Floors made in China. 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. It is offered in matte and polished finishes, so a single colour can carry a change of texture across a wall. The range is made in 12" x 24" and 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 bathroom walls and floors that see light traffic. Frost resistance means the same tile can carry through to a covered porch or a three-season room.
