Porcelain and Ceramic Tile Flooring

It’s hard to imagine a beautiful home without a beautiful kitchen—and when you think of the stunning kitchens you’ve seen in other homes or dreamed about for your own home, tile inevitably comes to mind. If you’re ready to add color, style, and grace to key areas of your home, turn to Lone Star Floors as your trusted provider of porcelain and ceramic tile flooring in Austin TX.

Choosing Between Ceramic and Porcelain

What’s the difference between ceramic tile and porcelain tile? Technically, they both belong to the larger category of ceramic materials. Ceramic flooring can provide the same range of colors and patterns as porcelain tile, but it has the advantage of being more budget-friendly. It’s also easier to cut, another factor in controlling the overall installation price and process.

Porcelain’s great advantage is its water resistance. This extra-dense form of ceramic tile must have a moisture absorption level of 0.5 percent or lower to meet the industry standards for this material. This makes it a better choice than other ceramics for humid, damp, or spill-prone parts of the home such as the kitchen and bathroom.
