What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain?

2016-04-05

Porcelain tiles are very dense and have a water absorption rate of less than .5%. Ceramic tiles are made predominately of white clay body and have a water absorption rate of greater than .5%. Because porcelain is denser it tends to have a higher durability rating. Some porcelain tiles can be used outdoors as well as indoors, while most ceramic tile can be used indoor only. There are exceptions and our showroom consultants will be happy to assist you in finding the appropriate tile for your particular installation.
