That makes porcelain a type of ceramic; it is heavier, denser, and best for busy rooms with heavy foot traffic, such as the bath. Porcelain is also composed of a non-porous clay called Kaolin, so it stands up to any weather outdoors. A large format tile comes in a large assortment of colors and patterns; many prefer it for stone echoes because of the size with fewer seams. They, like all ceramics, can be used on walls and shower and tub surrounds.
The 4 X 4 square is a ceramic tile that is highly designed, waterproof when glazed, and best for moderately trafficked floors indoors. Terracotta tiles are durable, can withstand heavy traffic, and are non-porous when sealed. Mosaics are tiny; glass-coated ceramics often used as flooring accents. Although subway tiles can be used on floors, they are best for low-traffic areas.
