Porcelain Tile Disadvantages

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Monday, April/15/2024

Price

Porcelain tiles are more expensive compared to non-porcelain ceramic tile. Each porcelain piece costs about $2.00 more than ceramic.

Sizes

Porcelain tile pieces are not uniform in size. The sizes vary and are irregular because the tiles are cooked at very high temperatures.

Handling

Many porcelain tiles are very heavy and cumbersome--sometimes as heavy as six pounds each. Because of this, they cannot be used over weak or thin floorboards. They are also fragile and easy to break when improperly handled.

Installation Issues

Installing a porcelain tile floor is not an ideal do-it-yourself project. Uneven tiles are a common problem. Choosing and working with the different sized heavy pieces is a job that a professional floor layer should handle, making the project more expensive for the property owner.

Imperfections

There are imperfections in porcelain tile pieces that make them more susceptible to staining and gathering dirt. These imperfections must be manually sealed.
