porcelain tiles vs ceramic tiles

Tweet

have tried to no avail to look for such information while i was trying to decide which to use for my new place started my quest for information using homogenous tiles vs ceramic tiles but can't seem to find any information then i realised that there's no such thing as homogenous tiles it's called porcelain tiles but just that it's homogenous in nature porcelain vs ceramic 1. porcelain is fired in the kiln at a much higher temperature, and thus more stable in nautre 2. on the Moh's scale, 0-5 with 0 being the weakest and 5 being the strongest, ceramic hovers around 0-1 whilst porcelain gets a 2-3 rating 3. porcelain DO stain! if you leave spilt liquid on it, it will still stain. it's just that you have more time to wipe it up compared to marble 4. two types of porcelain is available in singapore, one having a uniform colour throughout the tile and the other is half-grey (bottom-half is grey). for the half-grey ones, if you chip through the tile you will realise that it is still noticeable please share more if you know anything that i failed to add cheers!
