Default Porcelain Tiles

Hi all

I would like some help when choosing Porcelain tiles i am getting confused between Polished and glazed tiles.
I am most interested in 60 x 60 tiles and will cover all the apartment's floor.
Can anyone help me to decide between Polished or Glazed

Me personally i like a lot of the glazed type as they can replicate natural stones and look well when fixed....the polished ones look ok as well but are self coloured according the tiles body but look stunning especially on kitchen floors etc.....dave..
