Floor Tiles Sydney

European Porcelain Floor Tiles from Our Leichhardt Showroom

Looking for the latest European porcelain floor tiles Sydney has to offer? Kalafrana Ceramics imports Spanish and Italian floor tiles for indoor and outdoor use, from stone, limestone and marble looks to concrete, terrazzo, travertine and terracotta, in formats from 450mm right up to large slabs.

Floor tiles can be one of the most misunderstood products on the market. They can be glazed or vitrified porcelain, with a matt, honed or polished finish, and come in many different formats, textures and shapes. The latest high definition inkjet print technology from Italy and Spain allows remarkable copies of natural and manufactured materials, so the variation from tile to tile makes them hard to separate from the real thing, without the maintenance.

When choosing, always check the detail in the print and the number of different and unique prints. This is the key to a floor looking real and authentic. At our showroom at 176 Marion St, Leichhardt, we take the time to go through all of this with you so you choose a floor tile that suits you. You can also browse our travertine look tiles, terrazzo tiles, timber look tiles and bathroom tiles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Tiles

What floor tiles does Kalafrana Ceramics stock?

We import European porcelain floor tiles, mainly from Spain and Italy, including stone and limestone look, marble look, concrete look, terrazzo and Ceppo look, travertine look, terracotta and flagstone look, hexagon and large format slab tiles.

Do porcelain floor tiles need sealing?

No. Glazed and vitrified porcelain floor tiles are fired and non-porous, so they need no sealing or ongoing maintenance, unlike natural stone, polished concrete or real terracotta.

What is the difference between glazed and vitrified porcelain floor tiles?

Glazed tiles have a clay, ceramic or porcelain body with a hard wearing glaze applied to the surface, which allows almost any look to be printed. Vitrified porcelain tiles are dense right through the body. Both are durable and easy to clean, and come in matt, honed or polished finishes.

Why does the number of different prints on a floor tile matter?

High definition inkjet printing lets European manufacturers copy stone, concrete and terrazzo very closely, but the number of different and unique prints is what makes a floor look real. The more faces there are, the less the pattern repeats across the floor. It is a detail many people are not aware of when choosing tiles.

What sizes do European porcelain floor tiles come in?

Formats range from smaller sizes such as 450 x 450mm and 600 x 600mm up to 600 x 1200mm and large slab formats, with some porcelain now produced as large as 1500mm. Larger formats mean fewer grout lines and can make a room feel bigger.
