How is the hardness of tile measured? I was told that the hardest ceramic tile has a hardness rating of 5. How does that compare to the hardness of porcelain tile?

Great explanation but the background music needs to drop -10d as it is fighting with the vocal. Thank you #vancouverfilmmaking

Most people don't know what -10db is, just easier to say that the sound needs dropped 50%

It might be hard to tell, it depends on the finish, thickness and surface. Porcelain will likely be thicker it will also have a smooth surface similar to a glass surface and depending on the finish it will have a glossy Look
