What is the difference between porcelain tile and granite tile?
Porcelain is a man made glazed product. It is fired at a hightemperature and made with consistent colors and textures. They are generally non porous because of the glazing process, also strong, and made in many styles. Porcelain is best cleaned with a simple vinegar and water solution. Grout lines can be as large as 1/2" and as small as 1/16". Tiles are often quite large, 20 x 20 giving a different look. Granite tiles are a natural product. Cut from granite deposits, it can vary greatly from one tile to the other. High quality granite is quite strong, but cheaper tiles can be highly prone to breaking. Granite, especially green granite, are very moisture sensitive. Also, being natural stone, it is a porous tile, and will need sealing regularly. The grout for granite must be non-sanded, making grout joints 1/8" or less only. Still, granite is a very elegant look, but a lot more up keep.

Which is best for arthritis patient either granite flooring or tile flooring?
In terms of the type of tile (granite or manufactured porcelain or ceramic tile), I doubt it matters either tile or granite - both are very hard. Either way, it's probably best to install some type of radiant heating system under the flooring; otherwise it will be cold. Radiant floor heating can help to maintain a more comfortable room temperature, as well as keeping the floor warmer. If the patient will perform all maintenance on the floor as well, then tile is probably the better choice. Tile does not need to be sealed, although the grout will need regular maintenance and new sealer every few years. Granite, however, needs to be sealed over the entire surface to prevent stains.
