Built for Vancouver’s climate
Entries in Vancouver homes, whether the front door of a Point Grey house or a laneway unit's door onto the lane, take rain-soaked boots and wet outerwear for most of the year, and that moisture sits in porous tile and grout longer here than in a climate with a real dry stretch to interrupt it. Porcelain's water absorption is low enough that it never becomes a mildew source, with no sealing schedule that depends on someone actually keeping up with it. Covered patio and outdoor bodies still need the correct slip rating for a surface that stays wet more often than dry across the winter months.

Why it suits Vancouver
Natural stone in a Vancouver entry needs sealing on a schedule most households let slide. Porcelain does not, and factory-direct sourcing is what makes a large-format, matched indoor-to-covered-outdoor tile order affordable at the scale a full renovation or a new laneway build needs.
