Tile - whether ceramic, porcelain or stone - is one of the most popular floor coverings for the kitchen. Find out which material is right for your home renovation. The workhorse of kitchen and bathroom floor surfaces, ceramic tile is called both ceramic and porcelain. The difference in names hinges on water absorption rates. Tile that absorbs water at a slower rate is officially called porcelain and is best for high-moisture spaces like bathrooms. The kitchen - a place where moisture is definitely present but not in the quantities found in bathrooms - can have tile rated as porcelain or not.
