What does through body color mean in tile?


Floor tile offers a wealth of impressive benefits, especially in appearance, and you may have heard terms such as “through-body” color to describe porcelain. In today’s post, we’re going to tell you a little bit more about what that means, so you’ll have a clearer understanding of all that you can do with this material line.

Through-body color and your floor tile


One of the benefits you’ll hear about while researching porcelain tile is something known as “through-body” color. This means that the center of the tile is the same color as the outside.

The most impressive benefit of through-body color is that chips, cracks, and scratches will be largely concealed and much harder to see than if the inner composition were a different color.

There are plenty of options with through-body color tile, which offers plenty of colors and features, including the impressive appearance of natural stone such as terrazzo, marble, and even polished concrete. If you're thinking about floor tile for your home, you'll undoubtedly want to give these products your attention.
