What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?
There are a few key differences that can help determine whether the tile is ceramic or porcelain. Some of these differences include the composition and manufacturing process of the tiles.
Porcelain
Porcelain tile is made with clay that is packed at higher pressures and baked at a higher temperature in the kiln. Porcelain is higher in durability than ceramic. It’s also very water-resistant, making it ideal for rooms that tend to have more moisture.
Ceramic
Ceramic tile tends to be cheaper than porcelain. With ceramic tile, there is more flexibility with things such as colors and patterns. Ceramic tile has traits that give it more depth and dimension than porcelain tile. Ceramic tile isn’t made as dense as porcelain and is also slightly softer to the touch.
