Porcelain vs Ceramic Tiles.
In this video I’m going to be looking at the differences between these two common types of tiles.
We get asked lots of times what is the difference between porcelain and ceramic tiles, I’ll talk through the pros and cons of both and what I would choose for my bathroom.
Thanks for watching.

Great tips mate! I guess I will go for porcelain tiles for a kitchen floor. Esp now that you mention the rating.

Do we need to soak the ceramic tiles in water before installing it? thank you.

Awesome vid ! So is any ceramic tile ok for around the shower and the areas that will get wet ?

Yes, tiles are tiles but if you get the really cheap thin ones they can crack easily. The most important thing is what kind of adhesive you use. Make sure your tile adhesive is rated for getting submerged in water.

Very informative, so in general rule Ceramic goes to wall and Porcelain goes to floor?

Hi, thanks for the tips, very helpful.. Are porcelain tiles good for underfloor heating? And can you recommend any underfloor heating as well please?

I have what seems like glass tiles, we had 2 slip and falls , which my son had to get stitches after falling and wacking his face off granite counter top.Even when we shower the condensation gets on floor which is dangerous. I do have 2 mats now but there is still areas of possible slips. Is this type of tile ideal for a bathroom floor. And are slips common on tiles.

What do you mean sealing for the porcelain tile? How is it sealed?

@davidgapp1457 4 ай бұрын

Is there any difference in the porosity of the tiles? You mention the need to seal porcelain. Does this mean it is more prone to picking up and retaining water? Also, on average, are porcelain tiles more prone to bowing during manufacture? Many thanks for your videos!

I've just realised I've tiled my bathroom walls with porcelain tiles but used a ceramic ready mixed adhesive. Am I going to be in the sh1t? Just finished and it all looks great just hope that they don't all fall off 😞

@lesterbathrooms3948 Жыл бұрын

Hi Bradley, ok, that’s suboptimal really. You won’t get the bond required for porcelain and the flexibility they need. What you might find is that the bond breaks over time and they may pop from the wall (depending on the substrate and if water gets behind). Fingers crossed they’ll be ok buddy. Take care.

I got a white porcelain matte finish tiles but for some reason it has this yellowish hue to it...does anyone know why??

@Daniel-wd4jg 8 ай бұрын

Porcelain on floors... ceramic on walls.

I it slippery

@lesterbathrooms3948 3 күн бұрын

It really depends on which finish you choose. There are high gloss finish Porcelain tiles that would be considered slippery, but if you chose a matte/textured finish it would be fine.
