What are the benefits of using Ceramic and Porcelain tiles?

Porcelain tiles are harder and denser than other flooring materials; a great choice when installed in heavy traffic areas.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles that are glazed are stain resistant; no worries about wine and spaghetti spills or liquid getting into wood joints.
Scratch resistant; no worries about moving furniture, kids toys and pets scratching the surface of tiles.
Porcelain tiles have a low water absorption rate making them frost resistant and often frost proof; great for installing on exterior applications.
Easy to clean with water and a little dish detergent; resistant to harsher cleaning agents.
Resistant to Fading; exposure to direct sunlight will not change the appearance of tile overtime.
Endless choices in textures, colors, patterns and sizes to create a unique designer look.
