The major difference between porcelain tile and ceramic tile is how it’s made. Both tiles are made from a clay mixture that’s fired in a kiln, but porcelain tile is made from more refined clay and it’s fired at higher temperatures. This makes it denser and more durable than ceramic tile.
What Is Ceramic Tile?
Ceramic tile is usually created by mixing a base of clay with different types of minerals and water. A stoneware clay body will be fired at around 1,800-2,000°F and have water absorption between 0.5%-3.0%, with some even as high as 20%!
Most are laid on the wall.
What Is Porcelain Tile?
Porcelain tile on the other hand is made out of a mixture of clay, sand, and feldspar. Feldspar is a naturally occurring mineral in granite. The sand strengthens the mixture, while the feldspar melts, fusing together all the materials making the tile denser than a standard ceramic tile, thus stronger (30% stronger than granite!) and more stain resistant.
Because the tiles on the ground will be under a lot of pressure, hard tiles are suitable for use on the ground.
The above is their difference, so choose clearly when choosing tiles.
