Full Body Tiles Manufacturer
Full body tiles with colour running through the entire thickness. Chip-resistant edges, PEI 5 rating, breaking strength > 1800N. Ideal for airports, malls and heavy commercial use.
Get a Free QuoteFull body tiles from Livenza Granito are engineered for environments where durability is non-negotiable. Unlike surface-coated tiles, the colour and texture of full body tiles run through the entire thickness of the tile — meaning chips, scratches, or edge wear do not expose a different-coloured body underneath. This makes them the preferred choice for airports, shopping malls, hospitals, industrial floors, and any high-traffic commercial space where long-term appearance and structural integrity are critical.

What Are Full Body Tiles and Why Do They Last Longer?
In a standard glazed tile, the decorative colour and pattern exist only in the glaze layer — a thin coating on the surface of the tile body. If this surface is chipped or worn through, the underlying body (which is typically a different colour) becomes visible, making the damage obvious and unsightly.
Full body tiles solve this problem by incorporating the colour and texture throughout the entire thickness of the tile — from the top surface to the bottom. This is achieved by using pigmented raw materials in the tile body itself, so the colour is consistent at every depth. The result is a tile where edge chips and surface wear are virtually invisible, maintaining a consistent appearance even after years of heavy use. This is why full body tiles are the standard specification for airports, hospitals, shopping centres, and industrial facilities worldwide.
Technical Advantages of Full Body Tiles
Beyond their visual consistency, full body tiles from Livenza Granito offer superior technical performance. Our full body porcelain tiles achieve water absorption below 0.5%, breaking strength exceeding 1800N, and a PEI abrasion resistance rating of 5 — the highest rating, suitable for the most demanding commercial applications. The through-body construction also means the tiles can be cut, ground, or polished at the edges without exposing a different-coloured body, enabling clean mitre cuts for step nosings, countertop edges, and architectural details.
Available in sizes from 600x600mm to 800x1600mm, our full body tiles are offered in concrete-look, stone-look, and solid colour designs — all with the understated, professional aesthetic that commercial architects and specifiers demand.
Ideal Applications for Full Body Tiles
Full body tiles are the specification of choice for: airport terminals and transit hubs, shopping mall concourses and food courts, hospital corridors and clinical areas, hotel lobbies and high-traffic corridors, educational institutions, industrial and warehouse floors, and outdoor public spaces. Their combination of visual durability, high breaking strength, and low maintenance makes them the most cost-effective long-term flooring solution for commercial projects.
