At the beginning of this year, professionals in the tile industry were searching for a suitable name for the new type of ultra-thin, large-format porcelain tile. Now widely known as “Thin Porcelain Tile” (TPT), this distinctive product has been steadily rising in popularity — mainly because of its unique format and mechanical properties.
The material, which has been referred to as “thin tile,” “thin tile panels,” “thin porcelain tile,” among many other things, before finally being coined TPT, is characterized by its minimal thickness of anywhere between 3 to 6 mm and larger dimensions of up to 5 x 10 feet in length and width.
