Which is better porcelain or ceramic tile?

The main difference between the two is to do with durability. The density of porcelain tile makes it more durable than ceramic tile which is why it is only recommeded to put porcelain on the floor. Porcelain is also subject to less wear and tear than ceramic tiles. The ASTM standards requires a water absorption rate of 0.5-percent or lower for porcelain tiles. Unglazed ceramic tiles are more porous and have a higher water absorption rate so they are not suited for wet environments.

Do porcelain tiles chip easily?

No. As long as porcelain tiles are installed correctly by following industry standards, then no chipping should occur over time unless something extremely heavy were to drop on them.

What are the benefits of porcelain tile?

Premium porcelain tiles are scratch resitant, frost-resistant, stain resistant, chip resistant, and slip resistant.  They are also highly resistant to moisture. Porcelain is a durable and hard wearing material that is resistant to harsher cleaning agents, fading, heavy loads, and fire.

How long do porcelain tiles last?

Premium porcelain tiles have superior durability and can be looked at as an incredible investment. If you’ve chosen a premium porcelain tile for your project, you can relax knowing that with basic cleaning, your porcelain tiles could last as much as 100 years or more!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all tiles the same when it comes to quality?

Tiles, like any other product on the market, are not the same. Brands, country of origin play an important part of differentiating quality from no quality. When you purchase tiles from us, you can bet that we have done all the research and picked the tiles that meet our minimum requirements for quality.

Why does you tiles cost higher than Home Depot?

A common misconception is that the reason a porcelain tile is priced so low is because it was bought in such a large quantity and that lowered it's price. Although there is some truth to that, the lower price of tile is much more about quality. In most cases, it is to do with the fact that the tile was made out of recycled porcelain, low quality materials, did not receive the required quality testing, and did not receive a stamp of approval from third party tile organizations. All these things cost money for the manufacturer. So when you buy tiles that are cheap, made in China, you are literally getting what you pay for. The issue then presents itself when the tile don't last very long causing you to replace them more frequently. 

We believe in making the purchase just one, and having it last a lifetime.
