Ceramic Material
Porcelain is a type of ceramic material that is harder and denser than other types of ceramics. All ceramic tiles are made from clay that is formed and then baked in a kiln at high temperature, resulting in a material that is hard and resistant to wear. Porcelain tiles are made from fine-textured porcelain clay and fired at a much higher temperature than other clays. The finished product has a tougher and less porous surface than other ceramics. Porcelain is usually selected for flooring purposes, despite its higher price, for its hardwearing nature. Porcelain can be used in both wet and dry areas such as bathrooms, showers and kitchens.
Porcelain tiles are extremely durable, and their hard surface is resistant to scratches and scrapes. If extra tiles are on hand, broken tiles are relatively easy to replace. Ceramic tiles, especially porcelain, are resistant to water and are well suited to installation in wet areas of the home.
