According to the consultant, porcelain tile would be very durable and easy to care for. Back home, we did a little reading about it on the internet and read a lot of horror stories about porcelain stoneware. Soaps shouldn't get on the floor, dog urine stains it, if you scrub too hard on the same spot, you'd be left with a dull, light-colored stain, and so on. You'd have to scrub the floor with all kinds of products and soak it over and over again. There are even videos of the floor being treated in dozens of steps, including using a single-disc machine. It's definitely too complicated for us, we could just go back to oiled parquet. However, we have also read that glazed stoneware is available, but not very often. Do these glazed stoneware tiles have any drawbacks, I haven't found anything about them online? What is your experience with them?
