60x60 Super White Nano Polished Porcelain

The 60x60 Super White Nano Polished Porcelain is a 60x60cm porcelain tile with a high gloss, nano polished surface. It is designed for high-traffic residential floor applications and provides high durability and resistance to wear. The indicative price is KES 1650.00 per square metre. This price covers the supply of tiles only; it excludes adhesives, grout, wastage allowance (typically 10-15%), and labour costs. The following table estimates tile procurement costs for typical residential spaces.

Note: Calculations are based on the tile price per square metre and do not include wastage, installation materials, or labour. Final project costs will be higher.

Application and Regional Suitability

The 60x60 Super White Nano Polished Porcelain is primarily for interior floor surfaces requiring high foot traffic and aesthetic continuity. Technical characteristics make it suitable for living rooms, dining areas, and spacious hallways. The high gloss, reflective surface amplifies natural and artificial light. This makes spaces appear larger and brighter, particularly effective in modern, open-plan layouts.

In urban environments like Nairobi, where apartment living often requires maximising limited space, the tile's light-reflective properties enhance openness. This helps small apartments feel more expansive and inviting. The clean, super white colour provides a neutral base compatible with many interior design palettes, from minimalist to contemporary luxury. For properties in coastal regions with high humidity, such as Mombasa or Malindi, the tile's extremely low water absorption rate (under 0.5%) makes it a strong choice. Its non-porous quality prevents moisture ingress. This resists mould, mildew, and staining, ensuring the tile maintains its appearance and structural integrity even in humid conditions.

Technical Specifications and Performance

The performance and durability of the 60x60 Super White Nano Polished Porcelain result from its vitrified porcelain composition. The tile body is manufactured under extreme pressure and high temperatures, making it dense and homogenous. This process results in high mechanical strength. The tile resists breaking loads and surface abrasion from constant foot traffic, maintaining its integrity over time. The nano polished finish is not a glaze. It is an integral part of the tile, created by mechanically polishing the surface and treating it with a nanoscale sealant that fills micropores. This treatment increases surface lustre and improves resistance to staining.

Installation and Maintenance

Correct installation ensures the intended performance and aesthetic. The 60x60 Super White Nano Polished Porcelain tile has rectified edges. These are mechanically cut to a precise and consistent size. This uniformity permits narrow grout joints, typically between 1.5mm and 3mm. This creates a more continuous and monolithic floor appearance, making the floor feel expansive. For a seamless effect that complements the Super White colour, a white, off-white, or light grey cementitious grout is recommended. The substrate must be level, clean, and stable before installation. A high-quality, polymer-modified tile adhesive suitable for large-format porcelain tiles is required to ensure proper bonding.

Maintaining the nano polished surface is straightforward. The protective layer applied during manufacturing seals surface micropores. This makes the tile highly resistant to penetration by dirt and liquids. Spills wipe away easily. For routine cleaning, dry sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose debris is sufficient, followed by mopping with a damp cloth and a pH-neutral cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive powders, scouring pads, or acidic cleaners. These can damage the polished finish over time. Its low porosity and factory-applied surface treatment mean the tile does not require additional or periodic sealing after installation.
