  • Tile floors, quarry vs. porcelain

    I had planned to do 6x6", 1/2" thick quarry tile in my brewery. My flooring guy is doing the mud job now for the slope, and had a line on the quarry tile.

    Well, that fell through. He's now suggesting porcelain tile. I know porcelain is durable, rated for outdoor use, restaurant kitchens use it, but I've never heard of a brewery using it and I'm not finding anything in my searches. Is there a reason for that? Does anyone use porcelain here?

    Quarry only.

    Porcelain is not a good option. Slick and fragile. Try American Olean for great American-made tile. We used high strength thinset and epoxy grout and it is NEARLY bombproof. Just don't drop a sledgehammer on it.
