Join date: Oct 2009		Ceramic tiles are made up of clay and quartz ferrous sand materials, along with water.

The only difference between Porcelain tile and regular ceramic tile is that the clay used in porcelain tile is more highly refined and purified. Consequently, porcelain tiles are denser than a standard ceramic tile.

Join date: Oct 2009		Porcelain tiles are more rugged making it perfect for harsher applications.

More preferred for flooring as it absorbs less moisture , making it more durable and more resistance to staining.

and wont crack in cold weather.
