Daltile is both ceramic and porcelain, as Daltile manufactures both ceramic tile and porcelain tile, plus natural stone tile, offering wide selection of both types for different applications. Daltile ceramic tile is made from clay fired at lower temperature, is softer, less dense, more porous, costs $0.50 to $3 per square foot materials, suitable for walls, backsplashes, and light floor use with PEI rating 3, and includes many wall tile collections and decorative mosaics. Daltile porcelain tile is made from refined clay fired at higher temperature, is denser, less porous, more durable, water resistant with less than 0.5 percent water absorption, costs $1 to $6 per square foot materials, suitable for floors, walls, indoors and outdoors with PEI rating 4 to 5, and includes wood-look planks 8x48 inch, large format 24x48 inch that looks like marble, and stone-look tiles that are popular for floors. Daltile also offers natural stone tile like marble and travertine at $5 to $15. Both ceramic and porcelain Daltile tile are made in USA plants with quality control and FloorScore certification. To tell difference, check product specifications, porcelain is better for floors and wet areas due to low porosity, while ceramic is good for walls. So Daltile offers both ceramic and porcelain tile, plus natural stone, making it versatile tile brand.
