Made from clay dust, it is fired at extreme temperatures to create a dense, very hard material that is also waterproof. This make it ideal for kitchen flooring and bathroom flooring.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve got an amazing array of choices with porcelain tile. Individual tile sizes start at 1\u201d square and can be as large as 24\u201dx48\u201d. As with ceramic tile, popular sizes are 6\u201d, 12\u201d and 24\u201d square tiles. Subway-style, chevron, mosaic and hexagon tiles are among the many additional styles available.<\/p>\n Classic polished tile, marble-look and wood-look porcelain are popular and range from affordable to mid-priced. Decoratively glazed tiles can cost much more. Finish options are matte, textured, semi-gloss and gloss types.<\/p>\n This porcelain flooring cost estimate includes cost factors for tile and installation plus retail prices for common tile types. As with any flooring type such as hardwood flooring, the largest cost factor is how much tile flooring you install. View all our home flooring cost guides.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve researched porcelain tile flooring costs from reliable sites and invited readers to submit their project costs. Considering bookmarking Business Finance News and returning to share your porcelain flooring price for the benefit of others.<\/p>\n Factors related to retail cost are listed first followed by installation factors.<\/p>\n Tile size isn\u2019t really a factor in a porcelain floor as it is in marble. This is because marble is natural stone and porcelain tiles are man-made. It\u2019s just as easy to make 24\u201dx24\u201d tiles as 6\u201dx6\u201d, for example.<\/p>\n Browsing sites like Lowes and Home Depot, it\u2019s easy to find tile for about $1.00 and more than $50 per square foot. When you add installation costs, it creates an even wider range of prices.<\/p>\n Still, most jobs fall between about $11.00 and $21.00 per square foot. Home Guides offers a slightly narrower porcelain tile cost estimate of $12 \u2013 $19.<\/p>\n Time and material costs are the two big factors in how tile jobs are priced. The floor layout and amount of tile cutting required relative the size of the space affects time. For example, Fixr suggests that the cost to install high-end porcelain tile in a complexly designed bathroom with a lot of cutting might exceed $80 per square foot. That\u2019s rare, but it happens.<\/p>\n Here are a few project costs for comparison. Again, since you can find tile costing more than $50 per square foot, these project costs are for the most commonly chosen tile covering 90% of jobs.<\/p>\n Entryway: 50 square feet <\/strong><\/p>\n Bathroom: 150 square feet<\/strong><\/p>\n Kitchen: 300 square feet <\/strong><\/p>\n Porcelain tile takes more time to install, so costs are higher than for ceramic tile.<\/p>\n An experienced installer will install 5-8 square feet of tile per hour. Average hourly rate is about $45.<\/p>\n Common time-frames are:<\/p>\n Porcelain is tough tile to install. On top of the need to get the lines straight, use the right grout and mix it to the right color, cutting porcelain is difficult. Typically a wet saw is used to cool the blade and keep down the dust. You definitely don\u2019t want to breathe the dust.<\/p>\n We said in our Marble Tile Floor Cost Estimate that, while there are risks of the job not looking professional, we\u2019re pretty neutral about DIY marble tile installation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" $10.75 \u2013 $21.00 Per Square Foot Installed The cost to have porcelain tile flooring professionally installed is around $12.65 per square foot for the most popular styles.
