Are Stone Effect Tiles Smooth or Textured?
Both! Our stone effect porcelain range includes tiles with gently textured surfaces that mimic the feel of natural stone, perfect for creating a rustic or traditional look. We also offer smoother stone-effect tiles with a refined finish, ideal for modern interiors. Whether you want authentic character or contemporary polish, there’s a surface style to match your design vision
Are Stone Effect Tiles Easy to Clean?
Yes, much easier than real stone. Porcelain stone effect tiles are non-porous, which means they don’t absorb moisture or stains like natural stone can. A quick sweep and mop with a mild cleaner is all it takes to keep them looking their best. And unlike real stone, they don’t need sealing or special treatments, making them a great choice for busy homes. Find out more about porcelain tile maintenance in our handy blog.
What’s Better: Natural Stone or Stone Effect Tiles?
That depends on what you’re looking for. Natural stone offers a one-of-a-kind look with natural variation but it often comes with higher costs and more upkeep. Stone effect porcelain tiles offer the same visual appeal but with added benefits: they’re more affordable, easier to install, and require far less maintenance. For most homes, porcelain provides the perfect balance of style, durability, and practicality.
