Buying Guide
- Finish and maintenance: Unglazed tiles offer a more natural, slip-resistant surface and can be easier to maintain in some spaces, while glossy finishes emphasize color and depth but may require more frequent cleaning to maintain their luster.
- Color range and lighting: Dark gray to black tones can alter perceived space. In small or poorly lit rooms, glossy finishes can reflect light, making the area feel brighter, while matte or unglazed options create a more subdued, modern look.
- Tile size and grout: 3/4″ inch chips are common for penny rounds, providing texture without overwhelming a space. Grout color choices (dark vs. light) affect visibility of grout lines and the overall aesthetic; darker grout tends to hide seams better in dark tiles.
- Installation considerations: Mesh-backed sheets speed up layout and alignment. Ensure your substrate is smooth, clean, and properly prepared for porcelain tiles, especially in wet areas like showers and backsplashes.
- Durability and use case: Porcelain tiles are dense and water-resistant, making them suitable for floors and walls in bathrooms and kitchens. Check slip resistance ratings for floor installations and confirm suitability for commercial spaces if applicable.
- Maintenance routine: Porcelain penny rounds typically require regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners. Unglazed varieties may need careful sealing or periodic maintenance depending on usage and exposure to moisture.
- Budget and availability: Some brands offer larger quantities per box or sheet, which can influence project scope and waste. Consider the total square footage you need and plan for grout lines and cutting waste.
- Compatibility with grout: Coordinate tile color with a grout that complements the tone—dark grouts for a seamless look, or lighter grouts to highlight individual tiles and pattern.
