Advantages of ceramic and porcelain tile from barefoot tile & stone

 
Porcelain and ceramic tile offer a combination of convenience, versatility, and durability. The tile is available in hundreds of colors, shapes, and styles. Porcelain and ceramic tile can add an attractive touch throughout the home.

They are perfect for households with people who have allergies or pets. Clean, simple design is perfect for an ornate, classic style in the kitchen or bathroom setting.
 

Similarities and differences of porcelain and ceramic tile

 
Porcelain and ceramic tile are easy to clean. Debris can be wiped, vacuumed, or swept away. A PEI rating measures tile resistance to damage. Ratings range from one to five. One is least durable and five the most. Ceramic and porcelain tile with high PEI ratings withstand high traffic nearly the same.

Porcelain tile is capable of withstanding a little higher foot traffic because it is denser. The greater density is due to the formation of finer clays under higher pressure and temperatures. Porcelain tile can be used outdoors, because it is more moisture resistant.

Ceramic tile can be used only indoors. Depending upon the tile variety, porcelain tile is sometimes more expensive than ceramic.
