Natural Porcelain EMPEROR the one with the natural edge Unlike other porcelain floor tiles, EMPEROR floor tiles have a slightly conical edge - their natural edge. This offers you two key benefits: Looks Once laid, EMPEROR floor tiles look just like natural stone and are clearly different from ceramic floor tiles with calibrated edges. Resistance to wear Their slanting edges give EMPEROR floor tiles extra stability, making them more resistant to cracking and being damage to the edges. 06
