The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) say, porcelain tile is a type of ceramic tile made by the pressed dust method. Once available to only the most affluent, through-body tile is considered one of the most fashionable choices for floors, walls and countertops.

Through-body porcelain tile is made from mixtures of clay, sand and other natural minerals that are shaped into tile and fired at high temperatures. This gives the tile a water absorption less than 0.05%.
