What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic tiles?

Both ceramic and porcelain tiles belong to the same product family but differ in composition, density, and performance.

Ceramic tiles are made from natural clays fired at lower temperatures. They are generally lighter and slightly more porous, making them well suited to wall applications and light-traffic areas.

Porcelain tiles are made from finer clays fired at higher temperatures, resulting in a denser, stronger, and less porous product. This makes them ideal for floors, high-traffic areas, wet zones, and outdoor use.
