Choosing between porcelain and ceramic tiles depends on your specific needs and where you’ll be using them. Here’s a quick comparison to help you decide:
Pros:
> Stronger and denser – great for high-traffic areas.
> More water-resistant – ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor use.
> Long-lasting and durable.
Cons:
> More expensive than ceramic.
> Harder to cut/install – not ideal for DIY beginners.
Pros:
> Less expensive – budget-friendly.
> Easier to cut and install – good for DIY projects.
> Variety of styles available.
Cons:
> Less durable – not ideal for heavy use or high moisture.
> More porous – can absorb water if not sealed properly.
> Use porcelain if you need durability, water resistance, and are okay with higher costs.
> Use ceramic for lower-traffic, dry areas or if you’re doing a DIY renovation on a budget.
