Tips on How to Choose Between Ceramic, Porcelain and Glass Tile

Tiles are ideal for using on walls, floors or backsplashes in bathroom or kitchen. They are good focal points to highlight design in the house. But what’s the differences between tiles.

Ceramic tile is mainly made from the material produced by heating and cooling natural clay. Because of its various colors and patterns, it can provide different style for rooms. Its surface is always divided into glazed and unglazed. The reason why some people choose it is not only because of its great appearance, but also because of cost effectiveness.

It is necessary to know the PEI factor of ceramic tile when you purchase it. PEI from 1 to 5 respectively represent different scratch resistant. The higher the PEI is, the stronger it is.

Porcelain tile is normally a little more expensive than ceramic tile, because it is made of highly refined clay. That is to say, porcelain tile is denser and more rugged. So it is a good choice for big family. The PEI system is also applicable for porcelain tiles.
