Typically, it’s best to go with either ceramic or porcelain tile when it comes to bathroom flooring. Not only are they both affordable options, but they are also long-lasting, scratch resistant, maintenance free, and non-porous in nature, making them the perfect pick for any bathroom.
What’s Your Aesthetic?
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are almost indistinguishable at a first glance. But porcelain does offer varieties that ceramic can’t. For example, porcelain can be manufactured to resemble different materials.With this option available, you can very easily mimic the look of stone or wood with a porcelain tile. This makes porcelain flooring especially popular in bathrooms where you may want a wood look, without risking the water damage that could come with a hardwood floor.

Typically, ceramic tile comes in a solid color, making that the key differentiation from porcelain. However, simulations of wood grains or natural stone can still be found in ceramic.

What’s Your Budget?
On average, porcelain costs 60 percent more than ceramic. It’s also much more difficult to install, often requiring professional installation. (Good news: We can help you there!)

If you’re working on a tighter budget, ceramic flooring is the more affordable option. It’s also relatively versatile and much easier to install. Ceramic is a great, budget-friendly option when you’re looking to purchase large quantities of tile.
