So what exactly is porcelain and how is different from ceramic?
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are a mixture of clays that are pressed into shape and fired at high temperatures which gives the tile its hardness. Porcelain is made with less clay and more feldspar or equivalent mineral that's more finely ground, subject to higher pressure and fired longer ' several hundred degrees higher than ceramic. As a result, porcelain tiles are much harder and denser than ceramic tiles. And because of this manufacturing process, they can be much larger and stronger.
So what about Rectified Porcelain Tiles?
All tiles vary slightly in size between production runs. Rectified porcelain floor tiles are deliberately made over-sized so that they can be cut on a diamond saw that will reduce this variation. This allows for finer grout joints between tiles and helps to create beautiful and contemporary finished looks.
What's the difference between indoor and outdoor tiles?
Porcelain floor tile makes an excellent choice for swimming pools, patios and your front walk leading to the steps to your front door, as long as they meet slip resistant requirements. Outdoor tiles have a surface texture that helps make them slip resistant. Exterior porcelain floor tiles have a slightly gritty surface, even though the tile is glazed. The invisible grit provides superb traction when tiles become wet. Look for products that are ADA Approved.
Porcelain floor tiles are typically thicker, heavier and harder than wall tiles. Their glazed surfacing is designed to handle the abrasive forces from foot traffic. Increasingly, porcelain floor tiles are being applied to vertical surfaces and this is not an issue as long as the surface is strong enough to support their weight and proper installation methods are used. However, it is not recommended to use wall tiles in flooring applications.
