FLORIDA TILE CHAPTER ES - ESSENTIALS STARLET POLISHED MOSAIC 9" X 9"
Polished porcelain mosaic tile, 9 x 9 inches, white finish
Selected Color: WHITE POLISHED-82036
Technical Specifications
Construction: Pressed porcelain tile with polished surface finish. Mosaic format provides modular installation pattern. White polished finish achieves high light reflectance.
Material Composition: Vitreous porcelain body with ceramic glaze. Solution-fired at standard kiln temperatures. Non-porous surface minimizes water absorption.
Manufacturing Process: Porcelain pressed from clay and feldspar mixture, kiln-fired to 1200°C+ for durability. Polished finish applied post-firing to achieve glossy surface.
Application & Performance
Floor Installation: Suitable for residential and light commercial floor applications. Polished surface provides aesthetic appeal but reduces slip resistance on wet surfaces. Recommend non-slip grout or application in dry areas.
Wall Installation: Excellent for interior wall applications including bathrooms and kitchens. Polished finish reflects light effectively in smaller spaces. High water resistance prevents moisture penetration.
Shower Application: Polished finish not recommended for shower floors due to slip hazard when wet. Suitable for shower walls above splash zone.
Kitchen Backsplash: Ideal for kitchen backsplash applications. Non-porous surface resists staining and grease buildup. Easy to clean with standard household cleaners.
Performance Notes: Mosaic format requires precision grout joint spacing. Polished surface shows water spots and footprints; regular maintenance required. Thermal expansion minimal due to porcelain body composition.
