Ceramic and porcelain wall tiles are both excellent choices for home improvement projects, but porcelain tiles are generally considered better due to their superior durability, water resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Porcelain tiles are made from finer, denser clay and are fired at higher temperatures, resulting in a tile that is more resistant to chips, cracks, and stains. According to the American Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association (ACMMA), porcelain tiles have a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, making them ideal for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Additionally, porcelain tiles are available in a wider variety of colors, patterns, and finishes, allowing for greater design flexibility.
