Porcelain vs Ceramic Tile

 

Porcelain tile's beauty and durability are equally amazing. How does our porcelain tile compare to our ceramic tile?

Porcelain Tile:

​

• Is considerably denser and more impervious, which means it is more resistant to fluid passing through

• Has a much lower rate of water absorption, so it's suitable for interiors and exteriors in all climates

• Is considered frost resistant

• Has a greater breaking strength

• Is fired at extremely high temperatures, becoming 30% harder than natural stone (like granite and marble)

• Costs less than natural stone
