Normally, these tiles come in solid colors or sometimes with a basic design to add some interest.

Lavish High-Gloss Porcelain Tiles

The surface of a HIGH-GLOSS PORCELAIN TILE gleams and features an enamel covering that reflects light. High-gloss floor tiles, in particular, are fantastic at reflecting light, and if you choose a white shade, the reflections are much more defined, giving a more striking appearance. HIGH GLOSS FLOOR TILES make even the smallest rooms appear larger. It’s the same effect as putting a mirror in a room. The light reflection increases the area visually, giving the impression that it is larger and more open than it actually is. As a consequence, gloss tiles are a great option for both large and small spaces.
