Some homeowners mistakenly believe that ceramic & porcelain are the same product. They are very similar, but their differences are such that one is likely to be more suited to your needs than the other is.

For instance, porcelain is made with only the finest quality clays and kiln-fired at very high temperatures. This creates a tile that is incredibly dense, hard, water resistant, and features a through-body color. The through-body color offers the benefit of hiding any chips or cracks that might occur over time, and allows you to choose some of the most beautiful natural looks available in tile flooring.

Ceramic is also made with high quality clays, but other natural resources are added as well. The greatest difference between the two is that ceramic does not provide the same through-body color scheme. To make up for this, these tiles are often covered with brightly colored glazes, making them the perfect medium to use as a decorative element in your own space.

Ceramic & porcelain are excellent choices for any room in your home. From minimalist decor trends, to the most eclectic and artistic home around, they’ll fit right in, every time. You can even use them to create intricate mosaics that will be the talking point of any get-together or family gathering. Be sure to ask your flooring professional about all the many other benefits of this floor covering.
