The difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles basically lies in the technology used to produce both products. Porcelain tiles undergo a more demanding manufacturing process than ceramic tiles, using finer clays that make them denser and, as a result, more durable. They also have a very low water absorption rate, making them the suitable for installation as floor tiles; they are a good solution for homes and even high-traffic areas. In turn, conventional ceramic tiles are more porous and offer less resistance, so it is advisable only to use them as wall tiles.
