Porcelain tile - the toughest floor money can buy

Porcelain tile is fired at higher temperatures from a denser clay than standard ceramic. The result is a tile that's less than 0.5% porous (effectively waterproof), harder than granite, and rated for commercial-grade traffic - and it stays noticeably cooler underfoot on a triple-digit Las Vegas afternoon than most other hard flooring. Modern Concepts Design installs porcelain tile in homes and businesses across Las Vegas - and it's the tile we put in our own showroom at 5240 S Decatur Blvd.

Modern porcelain comes in wood-look planks, marble-look slabs, concrete-look squares, and textured outdoor-rated options. You can get the look of natural stone - a longtime Las Vegas favorite - or hardwood without any of the sealing or moisture concerns. If you want the real thing instead, compare it with our natural stone tile options.

Porcelain demands precision. Large-format and plank-shaped tiles are unforgiving of subfloor unevenness - even 1/8" of dip will telegraph through. We laser-level every floor, use leveling clips on every install, and back-butter every plank for full mortar coverage.

We also use the right cutting tools. Porcelain dulls a standard wet saw blade in minutes - we run rim-segmented diamond blades and an angle grinder with a porcelain-rated wheel for clean cuts at every outlet, vent, and corner. Ask about matching wall tiles for a coordinated backsplash or shower surround.
