Porcelain tile performance data

Technical information.

Indoor floors and walls in porcelain tile. Coordinated 20 mm outdoor pavers and porcelain veneer formats may also be available, with each format evaluated under its applicable standard.

Trail notes

Water absorption
≤ 0.5% (ASTM C373) -- complies with ANSI A137.1 for tile; coordinated 20 mm pavers are evaluated under ANSI A137.3

Interior Wet (IW) rating for porcelain tile; coordinated outdoor pavers may carry Exterior Wet (EW), A+B+C / R11 classifications
Freeze / thaw
Resistant (ASTM C1026)
Thermal shock
Resistant (ASTM C484)
Breaking strength
250 lbf or greater for tile (ASTM C648); coordinated 20 mm pavers may report 2,000 lbf breaking strength and 5,000 psi modulus of rupture under the stated paver test methods
Chemical resistance
Unaffected (ASTM C650)
Stain resistance
Unaffected (ASTM C1378)

How to use this data: this is a general manufacturer performance reference for porcelain tile, primarily reflecting average production and matte-finish testing. It is not a product-specific certificate or a guarantee for every color, finish, caliber, lot, installation, or use condition.

  • Confirm the exact collection, finish, caliber, shade, lot, and intended application before ordering.
  • DCOF classifications do not make any tile slip-proof. Slope, drainage, contaminants, footwear, maintenance, grout joints, and site conditions affect traction.
  • Use tiles from the same caliber and production lot in visually continuous areas whenever possible.
  • Product-specific laboratory reports may be requested when a specification or commercial project requires documented values.
  • The selected product is Vein Cut Ivory; confirm current technical documentation for this exact selection and finish.
Optional Grip finish

Enhanced-traction 9 mm tile performance.

Available for this selection in 12" x 24", 0.35" (9mm). Available by project; confirm current lead time with Aura Stone.

Grip finish is a 9 mm porcelain tile option—not a universal substitute for a 20 mm paver. It can support exterior and wet-area design where the exact collection, format, substrate, bonded installation system, drainage, slope, and project conditions are suitable.

  • No tile surface is slip-proof. Water, contaminants, footwear, slope, grout joints, maintenance, and site conditions affect traction.
  • Confirm that the exact color and size are offered in Grip finish before ordering; Grip availability is collection-specific.
  • Use the 20 mm paver where the selected dry-laid, pedestal, gravel, sand-set, or other installation method requires the thicker paver format.
  • Product-specific laboratory reports and current technical documents may be requested for specification-driven projects.
  • Vein Cut Ivory is currently listed in Grip finish at 12" x 24", 0.35" (9mm).

Installation & care

Protect the design through good planning.

Confirm substrate preparation, setting material, grout joint, movement joints, trim conditions, and wet-area requirements with the installer. Use compatible porcelain cleaners, remove grout residue promptly, and do not use hydrofluoric acid, waxes, sealers, or unapproved coatings.
