The toughest floor money can buy - wood-look, stone-look, and large-format porcelain installed across Eagan, MN for life.

Why porcelain stands out among tile
Porcelain is fired hot from dense clay, which makes it very hard and nearly waterproof. That combination suits Minnesota homes, where entries see salt and slush and basements can be damp. TPM Flooring installs porcelain in homes and businesses around Eagan, MN.
Today's porcelain comes in wood-look planks, marble-look slabs, concrete tones, and textured options, so you can borrow the look of natural materials with less upkeep. Compare it with natural stone if you are not sure which direction to go.

Where porcelain is a smart call
If a space is wet, heavily used, or in direct sun, porcelain is a dependable specification. It does not fade, it handles cold, and it stands up to pets and kids.
- Wood-look planks - the appearance of hardwood without water worries
- Large-format slabs - fewer grout lines and a clean modern feel
- Marble and stone looks - a luxury appearance without a sealing routine
- Covered patios and entry steps - choose a product rated for the exterior and slip resistance
- Commercial rooms - durable enough for offices, restaurants, and retail

Precision matters with porcelain
Large tiles and long planks reveal every dip in the subfloor, so we check flatness carefully, use leveling clips, and back-butter tiles for strong mortar contact. In older homes with settled framing, we add steps to bring the floor flat before setting.
Porcelain also wears out ordinary saw blades quickly, so we cut with the right diamond tools for clean edges at outlets, vents, and corners. Want to see more? Browse our Burnsville tile page for local examples.

Porcelain Tile — your questions answered
For floors, wet areas, and heavy use, usually yes. It is denser and harder, and the price difference is often modest for the added toughness.
The better ones are very convincing, especially in wider planks with textured surfaces. Our mobile showroom lets you see samples in your own light before you commit.
The tile itself is hard, but it can crack if the floor underneath flexes. That is why we pay close attention to the subfloor and use membranes where appropriate.
It depends on the finish. We suggest matte or textured finishes for baths, entries, and wet areas, and polished finishes mostly for dry rooms. For wet-room ideas, take a look at mosaic tile shower floors.
