Screen Printed Custom Porcelain Tiles — Technical Performance Summary
Custom Color Screen Printed Porcelain Tiles produced using client artwork and design.
Built for long-term durability indoors and outdoors, these porcelain tiles are screen printed with custom color and fired for permanent adhesion, offering excellent resistance to moisture, wear, freeze/thaw exposure, staining, chemicals, and abrasion.
Key Benefits of Custom Screen Printed Tiles
True porcelain performance (very low water absorption)
Freeze/thaw resistant for outdoor installations
High scratch hardness (Mohs 7–9)
Resists stains & chemical exposure
Durable for high-traffic areas (PEI rated surfaces)
Slip resistance met with Digitally Printed Porcelain to Exceed ANSI DCOF standards
Applications Suited to Screen Printed Porcelain Tile
Screen printed porcelain tiles are well suited for applications requiring repeated imagery on individual tiles, including logos, graphic patterns, wayfinding elements, and decorative floor tile applications where consistency and durability are required.
For large-format murals or artwork spanning multiple tiles, digitally printed porcelain tile is typically used.
