Which type of tile material should you use? Both ceramic and porcelain tiles come in a myriad of colors and patterns. Ceramic is a popular kitchen and bath floor tile because it’s durable and comes at an affordable price. It’s stain, heat, and water resistant. Similar to ceramic tile, porcelain is a durable and affordable tile option that works well in high foot traffic areas.
