Porcelain tiles are generally made by pressing porcelain clays and then baking them at a higher temperature in the kiln than ceramics. Porcelain tile is dense, impervious to moisture, fine-grained, and smooth with a sharply formed face. The color may run consistently through the body of the tile (full body) to minimize the appearance of chipping.

Glazed porcelain tiles are much harder and have more wear and are more damage resistant than ceramic tiles, making them suitable for any residential and commercial application. Glazing also results in a porcelain tile usually having a much lower water absorption rate than ceramic tiles, making them more frost resistant though not frostproof.
The benefits of porcelain tile include greater wear resistance due to the hardness and full-body color. Porcelain tiles may take on the appearance of natural slate and other types of stone. The durability rating usually starts at 5, which makes them the hardest wearing tiles on the market.
