| Ceramic or Porcelain?
When you're choosing tile, it's important to understand the difference between porcelain and ceramic. What's the difference? It's simple. Porcelain is a type of ceramic itself. It is formed from finer clay and minerals, creating a denser tile that is fired at higher temperatures, helping make porcelain more water-resistant. Both ceramic and porcelain have many inherent qualities that make them a great flooring choice for busy, active families.
