Porcelain Tiles Melbourne FAQs

Are porcelain tiles stronger than ceramic tiles?

In general yes, Porcelain tiles are harder than ceramic tiles. Porcelain tiles are better for both indoor and outdoor use and they are denser because of how they are manufactured. Which means they are the preferable choice for areas with heavy traffic. Both porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay and other natural products then fired in a kiln, though the clay used in a porcelain tile is more refined and purified.

How are porcelain tiles made?

Porcelain tiles are categorized as a form of ceramic tiling. During the manufacturing process, porcelain tiles are subjected to a higher firing temperature, giving the final product a stronger and more durable characteristic than traditional ceramic tiles. The difference in manufacturing also makes porcelain tiles less porous, with an amazing water absorption rate of 0.5% or less. The density, strength and low water absorption makes porcelain tiles the perfect choice for high traffic floor areas, both indoors and outdoors.
