Porcelain tiles are ceramic tiles commonly used to cover floors and walls, with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5 percent which makes them perfect for bathrooms and wetrooms. They can either be glazed or unglazed.

Porcelain tiles are harder than ceramic which offers greater design flexibility. Although both ceramic and  porcelain tiles are made from clay and other naturally occurring materials fired in a kiln, the clay used to make porcelain tile is more refined and purified resulting in a better finish.
