Keep reading to see how it could be the perfect fit for you.

Porcelain Strengths

Porcelain is one of the strongest materials you can put in your home. It gives you long-lasting strength and many cost-effective benefits. 

Porcelain's Benefits

Porcelain is a very dense and water-resistant tile. You can use it in bathrooms and kitchens without worrying about sealing it. Porcelain tile is scratch resistant and holds up well to lots of traffic.

Porcelain is so strong that it is often used in home designs as well as commercial designs. Decorators love having the beautiful options that porcelain gives them without the hassles of marble. 

Porcelain doesn't need special treatment to clean. You can clean it with a wet sponge or a wet mop. You also don't have to worry about polishing or waxing porcelain because it keeps its shine.

Porcelain vs Ceramic Tile

Porcelain is made out of similar materials to ceramic. However, it contains a larger amount of the mineral feldspar. When you compare porcelain vs. ceramic, feldspar gives porcelain the ability to be heated to a much higher temperature compared to ceramic.

This higher heat makes porcelain a much harder surface and makes it heavier. It is naturally resistant to water and stands up well to chipping.

Porcelain Tile That Looks Like Marble

With the unique process of making porcelain, it has the ability to mimic other materials. Many people love using porcelain that looks like marble. Porcelain is harder than marble and doesn't chip as easily.

It also stands up to scratching much better than marble and doesn't require sealing. These benefits have made porcelain one of the best ways to get the beauty of marble without the headaches.
