However, there are a number of questions one should ask before making a final decision in choosing the right kitchen or bathroom tiles.

What is Porcelain Tile?

Porcelain tile presents a flooring solution produced from very dense clay that is fired at higher temperatures as compared to standard ceramic tile flooring. Porcelain often contains other natural material additions, which are blended with clay and later fired in a furnace. The resulting tiles are non-porous and highly uniform, making them ideal for areas with fluctuating temperatures.

Most of the time, porcelain tile has the same thickness as ceramic tile, even though it is noticeably heavier. In addition, porcelain comes in more shapes and styles than ceramics, which can prove useful for various applications.

Porcelain vs. Ceramic Tile

While most people assume that porcelain and ceramic tiles are virtually identical, this isn’t the case. Most types of tiles that contain clay and are kiln-fired are considered to be “ceramic tiles.” This larger classification group can then be split into two sub-groups: porcelain and non-porcelain tiles. These non-porcelain tiles are commonly also called “ceramic,” as opposed to the porcelain sub-group.
