Appearance: Through-body tile is considered as one of the most fashionable choices for floors, walls and counter tops. It may have texture and color applied to the surface before firing but it is still the porcelain material from top to bottom. The color of the tile runs throughout its body.
Performance: The pressed dust method results in a Porcelain Tiles with a density so high the water absorption is less than 0.5%. It is a strong tile that can withstand extreme surface traffic. There is no glaze that can wear off. If the tile chips, the same or similar color is underneath.
Usage: Through-bodied porcelain tiles can be used for both residential and heavy commercial installations. They can also be installed at wet locations and areas where slip resistant floors are needed.

Ceramic India
Composition: Glazed porcelain Tiles has a body made of the porcelain material and a glaze applied over the surface. It is almost similar to that of a regular ceramic tiles. It is fired in a kiln and the result is a very strong bodied tile.
Appearance: Glazing, either shiny or matte, provides the most beautiful and varied colors, designs and decorations in ceramic tiles. Most bright, flashy tiles you see in tile displays are glazed.
Performance: Glazed tiles are non-porous. The glaze being an impervious facial finish protects tile from stains and moisture. These tiles are usually easier to maintain and can be treated for a higher slip resistance.
Usage: Vitreous glazed Floor Tiles are a durable option for counter tops and walls, providing a surface that is practically stain-proof. However, glazed porcelain is not recommended for heavy commercial installations.
