What is the difference between Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles?

Ceramic tiles are known to be made of white or red clay, which is crushed in separate three mechanisms and later on separated by size, and this explains the reason for having different tiles grades. Thereafter, the different clays are mixed together, after which they would be wet milled or dry milled to manufacture ceramic tiles.

It can take up to three days of glazing and fire at a quite low temperature in the dry milled ceramic tiles processing. In the process of wet-milled ceramic tiles, the firing only takes 60 minutes, and this makes them stronger and harder. Ceramic tiles are known to be more prone to wear and chipping, and they are easy to install and repair.

Porcelain tiles are also ceramic tiles, but they are made from porcelain clays, fired under a very hot temperature, which gives them a translucent finish. This gives the tiles a kind of hard, dense, and solid structure, with a surface that is resistant to stain and water, which helps them to be stronger and more durable. Porcelain tiles are of two types, which are through-bodied and glazed porcelain tiles.
