While porcelain tiles are made by dust pressed methods from porcelain clay, so that it can create a fine grain and smooth face. Because of this process, porcelain tiles offers more water resistance and frost resistance than ceramic tiles. Glazed porcelain tiles offer a surface that is resistant to wear and tear and a harder surface that is great for high traffic areas such as the kitchen or tea room. Full porcelain floor tiles have a color and pattern that follows through to the base of the tile, so the patterns are never worn away like ceramic tiles. From these advantages, porcelain tiles are more perfect for home decoration.
