In Houston, the spirit of individuality means the varieties of “home” can be a sleek Galleria condo, a River Oaks estate, a ranch in Magnolia or a bungalow in the Heights. That same spirit is at the heart of Porcelanosa, a global leader in beautiful luxury tile, kitchen and bath solutions.

The renowned Spanish brand is doubling down on Houston as one of the most dynamic international design markets with a newly renovated showroom and establishing a nearly 70,000-square-foot distribution center.

Step inside a design experience

Centrally located on Richmond Avenue near the Galleria, the Porcelanosa showroom offers inspiration to homeowners and architecture and décor professionals. Visitors see how Porcelanosa products work together in real-life settings.

“We created the showroom as an immersive experience – a way to realistically envision a home enhanced with Porcelanosa,” says Marcos Garcia Ventura, the regional sales manager.

Visitors will discover:

• Latest innovations, including their unique collections of large-format Xtone and small-space S-tiles
• Floor-to-ceiling tile applications featuring large porcelain and natural stone
• Coordinated surfaces, cabinetry and fixtures
• Room and product vignettes

For additional convenience, there is a second showroom located within the new distribution center in South Houston.

Expert support from concept to completion

Showroom visitors don’t just get to see and touch the products. They also get Porcelanosa as a design partner. Function is as critical as form, and that’s where the in-house local team shines with their deep knowledge of the materials and Houston’s lifestyle. Porcelanosa design consultants work closely with homeowners, architects and contractors to:

• Recommend materials based on application
• Help visualize full-room designs
• Provide advice on installation and maintenance

“We encourage our customers to bring their blueprints and photos, because it is very important to guide them to the right materials,” Garcia Ventura  says. “Our goal is to understand your vision and then share our expertise so you can feel confident that all will go together smoothly and beautifully.”

New distribution center speeds up delivery

Porcelanosa products arrive by ship to the Port of Houston, crossing the sea from Valencia, Spain. A new Houston distribution center supports a large local inventory of products ready to be delivered.

Just off Beltway 8, the new facility means less waiting, more building. Contractors can often pick up the same day, and homeowners don’t lose weeks on their timelines.

“With this investment in Houston, Porcelanosa strengthens its commitment to Texas by delivering a more efficient, customer-focused service,” Garcia Ventura says.

Built for the South Texas lifestyle

Cool down a Gulf Coast summer with durable and gorgeous tile. From outdoor kitchens and patios for entertaining to private spa-like baths and gourmet kitchens, Porcelanosa offers products designed for the way Houstonians live. Download catalogs for ideas.

“There are endless possibilities because we supply any size, format or design,” Garcia Ventura says. “Interior or exterior, pavers for pools, special pieces for stairs, we make it all.”
