9 Waterproof And Slip Resistant Porcelain Floor Tiles
December 19, 2021The right porcelain floor tiles will keep your home beautified for decades to come. These are durable surfaces that stand up to the wear and tear of everyday life. They are easy to clean, difficult to scratch, waterproof, and cheaper than the authentic stone or real wood flooring they mimic so well.
When you opt for tiles that feature MSI's ZeroSlip™ technology, you're choosing peace of mind when it comes to the safety of your family and guests. These tiles utilize MSI's proprietary anti-slip technology to provide dry and wet floor slip-resistance through a potent coefficient of friction value (a scientific measurement that establishes the amount of friction on level, wet floors while walked upon) that exceeds the industry standard by at least 50% and surpasses that of many of the more sought after tiles available today.
So now, with science on your side, you can achieve that high-glamour look for not only less money but with increased safety. Let's take a look at nine of MSI's waterproof and slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles that use this technology.
Concrete
Ideal for indoor and outdoor settings, Concrete porcelain tile features a sleek, warm grey coloration reminiscent of poured concrete, delivering a look of modern luxury. Use these tiles to create a flooring that is both timeless and on-trend.
Here we see Concrete porcelain tile flooring bringing this entire room together. Not only does it create a seamless look, but it also complements other features in the room while standing out so well itself. Whether a room like this is one of your high traffic areas or not, you can rest easy knowing MSI’s ZeroSlip™ technology is on safety detail.
ASTURIA CIELO
Authentic stone and solid hardwood flooring are always in style, but the real thing comes with costs far beyond the higher price tag. With porcelain tile, you get the same look for less in a non-porous package. This means flooring like Asturia Cielo porcelain tile is stain, mildew, mold, and 100% UV resistant. Perfect for indoor and outdoor settings, they won’t discolor or fade as they face heavy foot traffic or the elements. Even nasty stains like red wine don’t stand a chance against these slip-resistant, waterproof tiles.
ASTURIA FUOCO
Asturia Fuoco porcelain tile is an outstanding porcelain tile that looks like marble. When you opt for Asturia Fuoco large format tiles, you achieve that coveted marble look without the ongoing nuisance of caring for it. Why spend all your time fretting over your flooring when you should be enjoying it?
Asturia Fuoco uses long black veining and charcoal gray shading over a dusty gray background to make a luxurious modern statement. Used in a gorgeous bathroom like this one, you’re in good hands, thanks to MSI’s ZeroSlip™ technology.
OXIDE BLANC
Oxide Blanc porcelain tile features a mix of whites and a stunning matte metallic-look finish that will add a sense of intrigue to any room. Here we see it featured as the room's focal point as its understated feel draws our eyes upward to enjoy the rest of the environment's modern features. When choosing between tile and stone, porcelain wins the day. These large format slip-resistant tiles work well with a wide variety of design styles, cost less, and require minimal upkeep.
OXIDE IRON
Often people fail to compare porcelain vs. ceramic tile. They believe that these premium surfaces are the same, and while they are related, porcelain is the more durable of the two. Oxide Iron porcelain tile delivers that durability and added safety with MSI’s ZeroSlip™ technology. This awe-inspiring flooring combines brown and gray hues with a matte finish to create a metallic-look floor that will surely be a conversation starter for years to come. Use it to add instant personality to any space.

Of course, the benefits of Pietra Calacatta tile don’t stop there. This highly durable flooring is 100% UV, mildew, mold, and stain-resistant.
