Can ceramic tile be used outdoors?
To be used outdoors, we recommend the tile must be frostproof and unglazed for floor use. Make sure the absorption rate is 0.5% or less. Should a sealer be used on ceramic tile? A glazed tile is already stain proof, so applying a sealer is unnecessary. A sealer would be appropriate for all unglazed surfaces such as through bodied porcelain, slate, tumbled stone, marble or granite. Grout is very porous and should always be sealed. A penetrating sealer is an invisible stain resistant shield that absorbs into the surface. What is the difference between a floor tile and wall tile? A floor tile is larger in size and thicker than a wall tile giving it strength to withstand foot traffic. The most common size for a floor tile is 12×12, but is offered in 8×8 and as large as 20×20. A wall tile is smaller in size, commonly offered in 4×4, 6×6 and 8×10. They have a smoother surface and weigh less so they will not slide down a wall. Floor tiles can be used on a wall, but it is not recommended to us
