💧 CERAMIC vs PORCELAIN: The water absorption test that’ll change how you tile your bathroom 🚿 Ceramic soaks up water like a sponge, while porcelain? Completely waterproof. Here’s why it matters: Ceramic tiles are porous, meaning water (and bacteria 🦠) seep through grout lines and into the tile itself. The result?

This is how you calculate it: To simplify let's say the original weight is 200g and the soaked weight is 202g. 202➖200🟰2 (soaked weight
