Are Ceramic and Porcelain tiles porous? Answer is Yes, The pores are voids or gaps often created by air in the manufacturing process. These pores if on the surface of the tile can trap dirt and other debris which can alter the look and feel of the tile. The porosity in Ceramic and Porcelain tiles can be measured by weighting a tile, then soaking it in water for 24 hours then wiping dry the surface of the tile and weighing again, the weight difference will show how porous the ceramic or porcelain is.

Both Ceramic and Porcelain are great lower maintenance tiles. With regular maintenance they keep clean and look great for a longer time than many porous natural stones. The surface cannot be diamond polished so once the surface is damaged replacement are needed. Cracks or holes can be filled however once the structure of a ceramic or porcelain tile is damaged it is common for the tiles to breakup.
