Ceramic and porcelain tile: Ceramic tile is a mixture of clays compressed and cut to various sizes then fired. The tile may or may not have a glaze applied.

Porcelain tile is a type of ceramic tile. It is made of finer grade clays compressed under high pressure to produce a very dense product. Porcelain tiles may be through body or may have a glaze applied. The density of this tile allows for minimal water absorption and in many cases may be used outdoors in areas subject to freezing. Due to the use of a finer grade clay and higher firing temperature porcelain tiles are generally more scratch and stain resistant than other tiles.

Life cycle costs:

Given the initial cost, minimal maintenance and years of service, ceramic tile is one of the most cost effective flooring options on the market today.
Ceramic tile is one of the very few building materials that is actually less expensive today than twenty years ago.

In addition to lower life cycle cost, ceramic and porcelain tiles offer variety, durability and style for any application.
