porcelain is about the best mate but i would not go for a glazed version its not has hard wearing. You really need to be looking at a grade 5 porcelain. You could also go for a natural stone product like granite. If you go for a natural product at least you could sand out any scatches and fill chips in. For cracking thats when there not fixed correctly. Other option would be quarry tiles mate very hard wearing and get better with age. | ||||||||||

Does this answer your question Dhceramics Q. What is the difference between glazed and full-body porclean tiles? Glazed tiles are coated with a liquid glass, which is then baked into the surface of the clay. The glaze provides an unlimited array of colors and designs as well as protects the tile from staining. The unglazed tiles are pretty much the same as the glazed tile, except that their surface is not coated. Full-body porcelain tiles do not show wear because their color extends throughout the tile, making them ideal for commercial applications. | ||||||||||
