Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are both suitable for use around the home. Ceramic tiles can be used on walls and floors, where specified, that have low foot traffic. Porcelain tiles are denser and more durable than ceramic tiles which make them much better for high foot traffic areas.
Porcelain tiles use a more refined clay and are fired at higher temperatures. This makes porcelain tiles denser and more durable. Porcelain tiles are considered to be a higher quality than ceramic tiles.
The simple answer to this no. Walls tiles are not suitable for use on a floor. However many tiles are multi-use for walls and floors. You just need to check they are suitable for use on a floor, then they can be used on walls.
Tile’s lifespan often varies depending on its quality and whether it was installed and maintained correctly. Low-quality tile can last 20 years or more, while high-quality tile that’s been properly installed can last more than 50 years in some cases.
Unless your tile is pool-rated, it’s likely water-resistant rather than waterproof. Some types of natural stone are porous and need to be sealed so that they don’t absorb water, especially if they’re being used as shower tile.
Ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and glass tiles will not burn in a fire. However, they can be otherwise damaged by fire. Glass can melt, and other types of tile can crack when exposed to very high temperatures.
