Matte Porcelain Tile – Understated Elegance for Modern Spaces

Immerse yourself in Apollo Tile’s matte porcelain tile collection, showcasing fascinating wall and floor coverings in unique styles and formats. Our curated selection is all about subtlety and depth – perfect for residential and commercial settings that benefit from a higher level of slip resistance. From monochromatic designs to those that mimic natural materials like hardwood, marble, terrazzo, and terracotta, porcelain tile offers a distinctive way to furnish spaces with originality, timelessness, and modern edge.

To create large and small-format matte porcelain floor tile, a special layer is added to the top surface for a non-shiny appearance. If you desire a subdued, natural, and evergreen look, a matte finish is right up your alley. Our low-sheen contemporary tile options amplify the room’s aesthetic, allowing surrounding décor elements to be seen without dimming its own appeal.

The Timeless Charm of Matte Porcelain Floor Tile

When choosing tiling material, various factors come into play, such as color, size, and wear-resistance. But there’s something that has a huge impact on both style and functionality: tile finish. This is especially important for porcelain floor tile, where texture can completely alter how the room looks, feels, and works.

Matte porcelain tiles are a sought-after choice for warm, laid-back interiors, easily adapting to minimalist, contemporary, rustic, industrial, and Japandi décor themes. They bring forth an apparent simplicity, where the interpretation of materials such as stone, marble, terrazzo, or terracotta feels perfectly natural.

Matte porcelain floor tile might take slightly more effort to clean than gloss-finish flooring, but the good news is that its subdued, low-shine appearance conceals dirt and stains better. And as a bonus, matte provides excellent grip in wet environments like the bathroom.

Where to Use Matte Porcelain Wall & Floor Tiles

Apollo Tile’s matte porcelain floor tile is incredibly hard-wearing, suited for just about any spot in residential and commercial projects. It’s a great addition to busy family homes - making an excellent wear-resistant high traffic tile in entryways, living rooms, kitchens, and gardens. A slip-resistant surface provides secure footing in wet areas, ensuring that style and safety coexist seamlessly.

For vertical surfaces, matte tiles go everywhere; on kitchen backsplashes, fireplace facades, bathtub surrounds, shower walls, and more. Their soft, non-reflective appearance feels grounding, ideal for those desiring cozy, comfortable living areas or a spa-like bathroom.

Care & Cleaning of Matte Porcelain Tiles

If you require easy-to-clean surfaces forgiving of daily hustle and bustle, matte porcelain tile is your best bet. These low-shine, low-maintenance wall and floor adornments hide scuff marks and stains perfectly. That said, a bit of care goes a long way in maintaining the quality and good looks of your tilework.

Cleaning a matte porcelain tile bathroom or kitchen is straightforward. Sweep or vacuum floors regularly, then follow with a mop, warm water, and gentle pH-neutral cleaner. Skip harsh chemical or acidic cleaners and abrasive tools, as they can damage the tile surface over time.

To tackle stubborn stains, use a soft-bristle brush and a baking soda and water paste on the affected area, then rinse thoroughly. While porcelain does not require sealing due to its robust and impermeable nature, cement-based grout does. Grout lines can be sealed every 1-2 years in low-activity areas and every 6-12 months in high-traffic and moisture-prone areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does matte porcelain floor tile last?

With proper installation and good care, porcelain flooring will maintain its quality and beauty for 20 to 50 years or more. Even if light wear appears, it blends into the matte finish, making our tiles suitable for areas exposed to a lot of activity.

2. What colors and sizes are available in this collection?

Large formats measure 8x24, 8x48, 12x24, 14x14, 18x36, 30x30, 24x24, and 24x48 inches, and small formats 6x6, 8x9, 9x11, and 10x10 inches. We also stock penny round, hexagon, herringbone, square, and basketweave mosaics fixed to 12x12-inch mesh sheets for easier installation.

3. Is matte porcelain tile a good choice for bathrooms?

Matte finish tiles are a fabulous choice for bathroom walls and floors. Not only are they durable and moisture-resistant, but their restrained elegance creates a cozy, tranquil atmosphere perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Matte porcelain tile in shower provides greater slip resistance, reducing the menace of accidents caused by wet floors.

4. Does matte porcelain floor tile scratch easily?

Porcelain floor tiles are generally resistant to scratches, and a matte finish is no different. The surface is the hardest, able to endure high footfall, extreme outdoor temperatures, and the demands of daily life without marking. If scratches were to appear due to sand and hard particles, the matte finish camouflages them better.

5. Is matte porcelain tile suitable for commercial projects?

Our collection isn’t limited to private residences. It is also a stable and safe choice for hospitality and commercial settings such as hotels, restaurants, spas, wellness centers, boutiques, and offices. The strength of porcelain minimizes long-term maintenance and the need for frequent replacements.

6. Are matte tiles more slip-resistant than glossy tiles?

Matt flooring tiles generally offer greater slip resistance for areas requiring maximum traction than their glossy counterparts, thanks to a textured, low-sheen surface.

7. How do I choose between matte-finished tiles and gloss-finished tiles?

To choose the best finish for your project, consider the room’s function and lighting as well as how you want the space to feel. Go for glossy tiles to enhance spaciousness and brightness, and matte tiles for subtlety and minimal maintenance.

8. What is suitable for the shower - small or large matte porcelain tiles?

For shower walls, larger tiles are great for a sleek, modern look with fewer grout lines. Mosaic matte porcelain tile in shower works best for floors. The abundance of grout lines provides better grip, while the dainty sizes conform to a sloped surface for proper drainage.

9. How much does professional installation for matte porcelain tile cost per square foot?

Professionally installing matte porcelain tile costs around $9 to $50, on average. This range can swing low or high based on complex patterns or challenging large formats. Check out the full breakdown guide: Porcelain Tile Installation Cost.
