According to interior designer Karina Lapezack, porcelain tile in the kitchen becomes functional due to its characteristics: "I use it in many projects both on the floor and on the wall, even using the same model of porcelain tile for both. It is perfect even to facilitate cleaning the kitchen", she explains:
- Polished Porcelain tiles: Polishing the piece during manufacture gives it an intense shine, with a smooth texture.
- Acetinated Porcelain tile: also has a glossy but smooth, almost velvet-like finish, and a smooth surface.
- Glazed Porcelain Tile: if the idea is to include some material that imitates wood, invest in glazed porcelain tiles, which guarantee that the surface remains smooth, but with less shine than the others.
For the kitchen, the ideal is not to include porous porcelain tiles that make cleaning difficult. This way, you will guarantee the practicality that the environment needs.
