IS THERE A DIFFRENCE BETWEEN PORCELAIN AND CERAMIC TILES?
Porcelain tiles are also considered Ceramic or stoneware tiles; each type of tile is made from a different composition, and that is what determines the tile’s body color, texture and density, the primary ingredient in the composition of true porcelain tile is finely-ground sand. Unlike ceramic, processing of the porcelain composition involves pressure and extremely high temperature. Because of its density and composition of natural ingredients, porcelain tile has excellent qualities with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%.
