What are the differences between stone and ceramic tiles?
Stone is often cut showing the natural texture of the rock itself, which tends to have variations, fissures, and other possible flaws. However, its unique, natural beauty is hard to match. Ceramic flooring is a manufactured product that offers a more consistent and uniform surface. Stone flooring tends to require more maintenance as it requires periodic professional deep cleaning and is also porous, making it less stain resistant. Stone is usually much higher priced, especially the more exotic options.
