Provoak
Provoak is a series of colored-body porcelain tile with the look of stained oak with a subtle effect of burnt wood. The field tile is complemented by shapes (Chevron, Sestino and Turtle) and textured wall tiles (and). Whereas many tiles with the look of wood have a textured surface, Provoak has a relatively smooth surface. This collection can be used in applications such as patios or decks where the look of wood is desired without the maintenance required of natural wood.

ABRASION RESISTANCE
High
This material has relatively high abrasion resistance. It rates as a 7 or higher on the Mohs scale. Quartzite or granite typically fall into this range. This material is less likely to scratch than marble, limestone, onyx, slate, etc.
ABSORPTION
Low
This material is virtually non-porous. No sealer is required and it is less likely to stain.
ACID SENSITIVITY
Minimal
This material is minimally sensitive to acids. It will not acid etch or lose its surface sheen when exposed to acidic liquids such as lemons or tomatoes.
FREEZE-THAW
All Exteriors
Due to this material's Minimal or Moderate Absorption rating, its Abrasion Resistance rating, color fastness and tensile strength, this material is suitable for all exterior applications where freeze-thaw cycles are a concern. Use TCNA standards for setting in exteriors and consult an engineer regarding fastening systems and tensile strength required for your project.
