What Is Ceramic Tile?
Ceramic tile is made from a mixture of clay-based materials that are shaped and fired in kilns at high temperatures. Its surface may be glazed to add color, pattern and protection. Ceramic is available in many designs, colors and sizes, making it a common choice for kitchen walls, bathroom walls, decorative walls and interior floors with light to medium use. It is also relatively easy to cut and install, with a wide range of price options compared with some porcelain products.
What Is Porcelain Tile?
Porcelain is a type of ceramic tile, but it is usually manufactured to be denser, less porous and less absorbent. It is widely used for reception floors, entrances, corridors, kitchens, bathrooms, shops, offices and high-traffic spaces. Its low water absorption makes many porcelain products suitable for humid areas. However, not every porcelain tile is suitable for outdoor use or slip resistance, so the product specifications and manufacturer instructions should always be checked.
