PROS AND CONS OF PORCELAIN AT HOME

Ceramic, porcelain, or glass tiles are traditional countertop materials often seen in traditional decor, but they are also used in trendy, modern styles thanks to recent innovations, especially with porcelains. Traditional ceramic tiles are made of clay with a surface glaze; they are heated by fire to harden them. Porcelain is a type of ceramic that features finer clays fired under higher temperatures. Porcelain is a harder and denser material that is excellent for floors and countertops. Porcelain can authentically mimic other materials, such as wood or even leather, giving you many design options.

Pros
- Installing ceramic tile is a fairly easy DIY project.
- Tile is relatively affordable among the "premium" countertop options.
- Hundreds of design options are available.
Cons
- Tile is brittle and may crack under impact.
- Grout lines can easily stain and discolor, requiring periodic cleaning and resealing.

Ceramic and porcelain tiles come in a wide range of costs with materials alone running to less than a dollar per square foot to $200 or more for hand-crafted artisan tiles.
In general, expect to pay $2 to $15 per square foot if you are installing your own tile countertop. For professional installation, costs are typically about $35 to $40 per square foot.
