Tile Specifications; How will this ceramic tile hold up in a garage?

[usmc0517]

Hi everyone,

Been going back and forth between epoxy and tiles for months now, and believe I have finally decided to go with tile. I've noticed several people have had good results using ceramic tile. I know porcelain is better but I haven't been able to find porcelain that I like in my price range. How will this particular ceramic tile hold up in a garage? (In Houston TX)


Material: Ceramic
Tile Finish: Glazed
Thickness: 8MM
Straight edge (rectified)
PEI 4
Frost Resistance No
Chemical Resistance Yes
Water Absorption Semi-vitreous
ADA Compliant Yes
Dry Coefficient of Friction 0.83
Wet Coefficient of Friction 0.64
Breaking Strength in lbs. Greater than 750

I was concerned with the "Semi-vitreous" rating, is this an issue in the garage?

Thanks,
Kevin

Where are you located? In other words, will freeze/thaw cycles be an issue?

Hey Jack, I've looked at several of your posts, great looking garage!

I'm located in Houston Tx, and its an attached garage so I don't think freeze/thaw cycles will be an issue.

Specs seem good enough for me. Go for it, you won't regret it.
