What is porcelain tile made out of?
Porcelain tile is primarily made from a mixture of natural clay, feldspar, and quartz, which are finely ground and then shaped into tiles. The mixture is subjected to high heat during the firing process, resulting in a dense, durable material that is less porous than standard ceramic tiles. This composition gives porcelain tiles their strength, water resistance, and suitability for both indoor and outdoor applications. Additionally, they can be glazed or left unglazed, depending on the desired finish.
Are ceramic and porcelain tiles the same thing?
Not always. porcelain uses a certain type of clay, where ceramic is all clay. Ceramic tiles are called porcelain when they are non-porous. Another term with the same meaning is fully vitrified. These tiles can be used outside without being damaged in frosts, when any water that had soaked in would expand and damage the tile.
