This is an extremely important difference, since being more dense means that porcelain tile absorbs far less moisture, making it both durable and stain resistant.

This ruggedness is why porcelain tiles are the ones most often found in floor applications for outdoor living spaces, it's because they are far better at handling harsh conditions.

Porcelain tiles are practically a must for outdoor patios in cold weather climates, because unlike normal ceramic tiles, they are far less likely to crack.
