Roca Tile Port Noir Black Porcelain 12" x 24"

Roca Tile's Port Noir Black is a 12" x 24" glazed porcelain tile, made in Spain and 9 mm thick. Roca Port Noir Black is for bedrooms, living areas and bathrooms. It solves the everyday residential floor: hard-wearing enough for daily use, without paying for a commercial-grade body. That is what the PEI 3 wear rating means in practice. A dynamic coefficient of friction of 0.42 or less clears the ANSI A326.3 threshold of 0.42, so it is rated for a level interior floor that gets wet. Water absorption of 0.5% or less is the figure that makes it a porcelain rather than a ceramic. The trade-off with any glazed tile is that the colour sits on the surface rather than running through the body, so a deep chip shows the biscuit underneath. Pair it with a matching bullnose or a metal trim at the edges, an uncoupling membrane over a concrete slab, and a large-format mortar, because a tile this size needs full coverage under it. A box of Port Noir Black tile holds 9 pieces and covers 17.44 square feet. Order the area you are covering plus about ten per cent for cuts and breakage.
