Porcelain tile is a type of ceramic tile that is composed by exposing clay to extremely hot temperatures - somewhere around 2,300 to 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit. And there is no doubt that porcelain tiles are even termed as “high fire” in some cases! Because of this reason, porcelain tiles are much stronger than ceramic tiles and can withstand extreme climates - hence, a great recommendation for interior as well as exterior applications.
Porcelain tiles hold an upper hand over ceramic tiles due to these main following characteristics. First and foremost, porcelain tiles have little water absorption (almost zero) as compared to ceramic standard tiles. This is a major reason why these tiles can be used in very cold areas where water may freeze in the winter. Secondly, porcelain tiles lack a porous nature - hence, protecting the surface against moisture and humidity. So, whether it’s the kitchen backsplash, bathroom walls, exteriors, or even bedrooms and laundry rooms - these porcelain tiles will offer a ton of advantages over other types of flooring.
