Porcelain & Ceramic Tile in Kansas City MO — Factory-Direct Pricing, In-Stock Daily

Porcelain tile is the most durable hard-surface flooring you can install. It's waterproof, scratch-proof, stain-proof, and pet-proof — and it lasts decades. For Kansas City entryways that take winter slush and kitchens that take spills, nothing else compares. Wood-look and stone-look porcelain gives you the visual of hardwood or marble with zero maintenance.

Ceramic costs less and works perfectly for walls, backsplashes, and lower-traffic areas. For floors, spend up to porcelain — you'll never replace it.

For floors, demand PEI rating 4 or 5 (heavy-traffic rated) and porcelain (not ceramic). Look at DCOF (slip resistance) for wet rooms — 0.42+ is the standard for bathrooms. Check the caliber/lot number on each box — slight size differences between lots throw off your grout lines, so buy enough up front.

Big-format tile (24x24, 24x48) gives a modern open look but needs a flatter substrate. We'll tell you honestly whether your subfloor is ready.

Our 3 KC stores stock dozens of porcelain and ceramic SKUs at all times — wood-look planks, stone-look slabs, traditional 12x12, large-format 24x24, and accent mosaics. Most are available by the pallet. We run inter-store transfers, so if a SKU is sitting at one store, we can move it to your nearest location. Need installation supplies (thinset, grout, spacers, backer board)? We stock all of it.

Tile pricing depends on size, finish, and brand. Stock porcelain in our warehouses runs 40-60% below big-box equivalents because we buy direct importer-to-store. Designer collections cost more. Call 816-997-9350 with the SKU or look you're after and we'll quote current pricing.

Factory Surplus has been the Kansas City metro's discount flooring warehouse since 2013 — 13 years locally owned and operated. We hold over 1,000,000 sq ft of inventory across our 3 KC stores, with a 4.5-star average across 290+ Google reviews.

We're a cash-and-carry warehouse, not a showroom. That's how we keep prices 40-60% below big-box stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, and Floor & Decor. Walk in, load your truck, and start your project the same day.
