Tile Style: Polished Perfection

When you hear the word porcelain, does it bring to mind fragile and delicate objects such as fine china? Think again. The Pietra Porcelain Collection from MSI features the realistic look of natural stone including marble and travertine, with a sleek polished finish – and the durability to withstand your lifestyle. With its available variety of patterns, shades, sizes and shapes, the design options are nearly limitless.

The Pietra Porcelain Collection is created with inkjet technology, which makes it possible to create the realistic look of natural stone, with the toughness and easy maintenance that porcelain tile provides. Fine ceramic tile is printed with state-of-the-art inkjet technology, then finished with a protective glaze that adds to its durability before going into the kiln for the final step in the process.
