Porcelain
Porcelain tile is a type of ceramic tile, though it is made from finer,
denser clay and is fired at higher temperatures. Additionally, porcelain
tile is tougher, more scratch resistant than other varieties, and more
durable and resistant to stains.
Porcelain tile can be used anywhere you want an excellent performing,
good-looking surface. It works great in kitchens as countertops or wall
coverings and is also a good choice for showers and bathroom walls.
Where it really shines, however, is in flooring.
Porcelain floor tile looks great when it is put down and will look good
for years to come with very little maintenance. In high traffic areas,
porcelain floor tile is an excellent choice and will out perform other
tiles in both long-term appearance and durability.
