Water Absorption

When picking the right tile for your courtyard, patio or walkway, you want to be certain that the area can endure any inclement weather that may occur. Water absorption rate, which reflects the density of the body of tile, is another Mohawk classification we provide in helping customers make sound decisions.

The ideal tile set has a very low water absorption rate, especially in climates subject to freezing and thawing cycles. These are typically porcelain body tiles with a water absorption rating of less than 0.5%.

Look no further than our Slate Collection featuring ColorBody Porcelain styles that embody this desired make-up. Rain and snow are no match for the masterwork of your perfectly-executed, Mohawk-enhanced design.
