Ceramic vs. Porcelain
Both can be durable choices. The right material and installation system depend on density, water absorption, traffic, substrate, and where the tile will be installed.
Ceramic Tile
- More porous - best for indoor use
- Easier to cut, good for DIY-adjacent layouts
- Lower cost per square foot
- Ideal for bathroom floors and walls
- Not recommended for outdoor or heavy commercial use
Porcelain Tile
- Denser and harder than ceramic
- Frost-resistant - suitable for outdoor spaces
- Higher PEI rating for heavy traffic
- Available in large-format slabs
- Best for kitchens, mudrooms, and commercial floors
Why Tile?
Durable Surface
Properly selected and installed ceramic or porcelain tile can provide decades of service. Longevity depends on the substrate, setting system, traffic, and care.
Moisture-Ready Systems
Tile surfaces suit bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and basements when the substrate, waterproofing, grout, and perimeter details are designed for the space.
Low Maintenance
Glazed ceramic and porcelain are generally easy to sweep and mop. Grout and natural stone may require product-specific sealing and care.
Radiant-Heat Compatible
Many tile assemblies work well with approved in-floor radiant heating systems when the system and setting materials are installed to specification.
Easy-Clean Surface
Many glazed ceramic and porcelain surfaces do not trap dust like soft flooring. Grout, natural stone, sealants, and cleaning products still need appropriate maintenance.
Huge Design Range
From subway tile to large-format 24x48 slabs, mosaic patterns to wood-look planks. Nearly unlimited design possibilities.
