porcelain tile

Fired clay square

Porcelain tile is a dense, durable ceramic tile made from refined clay fired at high temperatures.

It absorbs less water than standard ceramic tile, making it suitable for floors, walls, and outdoor applications.

Porcelain tile often mimics the appearance of natural stone or wood: The bathroom floor is porcelain tile that looks like marble.
