They have some problems with the larger tiles not adhering to any setting materials that you may use. The tile itself may have warped from being fired leaving gaps causing a hollow sound at the defined warped area of the tile known as deflection. This manufacture offers no technical/ specifications for the testing results to comply with a certified porcelain tile.

Porcelain tile is defined as an impervious tile with a water absorption of 0.5% or less as measured by the ASTM C373 test method. There are, however, many instances in which tile not meeting this standard is advertised and sold as porcelain tile. Marketplace confusion, installation problems and even liability concerns can result when non-porcelain tile is misrepresented in the marketplace.
