Which tile is best?
In tile, you have two main choices: Ceramic or porcelain. Many times, these two are considered to be the same thing, and the term is used interchangeably. However, there are a few differences that truly set them apart. Knowing what they are can help know which one is the better choice for your home.
Porcelain is made with the highest quality clay available, and because of this, the color is generally the same all the way through the square. While there may be variations in shadows, accents, and more, this isn’t apt to change much. This helps to hide any signs of flooring distress such as chips, cracks and scratches.Ceramic colorations can be quite different throughout the entirety of the piece, so they are usually covered with brightly colored glazes to hide that fact. If they experience a chip or a crack, it’s easy to see, although it does take a great deal to create this kind of damage.
Porcelain is an excellent choice for homeowners who love the natural look. Ceramic makes an interior designer's dreams come true. Talk with a flooring professional today about which one is right for you.
