Ceramic Tile is not solid all the way through like Porcelain tile. Ceramic tile is a reddish brown color on the inside and is otherwise coated and glazed with a design. Ceramic tile is the cheapest of all tiles and for that reason also the most common. Above you can see a picture of Ceramic Tile that has been walked on for several years. Over time, the surface of the tile has worn down showing the true color of the clay inside the ceramic tile. Ceramic tile is a lot easier to cut then Porcelain. Porcelain tile requires a perfectly straight saw blade and a little experience to not have them crack while cutting.
Porcelain has been used for many things because it can stand the test of time: Porcelain signs, Porcelain toilets, Porcelain dishes and Porcelain teeth are some that come to mind. Porcelain Tile however has to meet strict standards. ASTM's glass and ceramic standards are instrumental in specifying, testing, and evaluating the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of various materials and products made of glass, ceramic, or clay. Porcelain is non porous and easy to clean. It is a good choice of tile for almost anywhere. You can find more out about codes here. Did you know non-porcelain tile is the fancy way of saying Ceramic tile?

We didn't so much as chose Highlands Ranch to work in as we grew up here our selves. I've seen Highlands Ranch go from having dirt roads such as Countyline to a full and rich community of on-going development. There are plenty of contractors that dread receiving leads or doing work in Highlands Ranch, that's fine they can stick to Denver or Aurora. As for us, it is our community and our home; More over Douglas County in general is an amazing place to live. Even the sheriff's office is professional.
