Is DuraCeramic better
than Ceramic Tile?

When looking at flooring it can be confusing with all the different terms and names that are used. It is kinda like learning a whole new language and depending on who you talk to you may get different answers to the questions that you have. When it comes to unique products like DuraCeramic you may see a lot of misinformation. So what are the differences between DuraCeramic and Ceramic Tile and which is better?

DuraCeramic is not designed to replace ceramic tile. However, it defines a category of flooring called HPF, High Performance Flooring Tile. DuraCeramic is a stronger engineered floor when compared to many resilient flooring or Luxury Vinyl Tiles and is designed to handle the abuse of most lifestyles. DuraCeramic is made with a limestone composite base and fortified with a polymeric resin. For that reason, it’s tough yet flexible and will resist breaking from subfloor deflection, expansion and contraction. Since DuraCeramic is more forgiving than Ceramic Tile it is less likely to be damaged when heavy objects fall and the installation is faster and easier because the subfloor requires less attention when compared to ceramic and stone tile preparation. Many homeowners also enjoy DuraCeramic because it’s warmer and easier to stand on that ceramic tile.

Ceramic Tile has a large range of quality and the cost is normally much higher to get a quality that will last a long time without issues. Any low priced floor is priced that way because they did not use high quality base materials. Ceramic has larger assortment and is also excellent at resisting scuffs and scratches. Whereas DuraCeramic is not designed for extremely wet areas, such as showers, ceramic tile works perfectly in those areas. Often ceramic tile and DuraCeramic are used together, for example some may choose DuraCeramic for the floor and Ceramic Tile for the walls.

DuraCeramic is basically a cross between ceramic flooring and luxury vinyl tile which is able to provide the same durability and style as ceramic tile. But DuraCeramic is warmer, crack resistant, scratch resistant, and easier to clean.

What DuraCeramic Is Not?

DuraCeramic is not ceramic tile but it is one of the best preforming products made today. It is a limestone based Luxury Vinyl Tile that takes some of the best features of ceramic tile and mixes it with the best features of ceramic. Thus, DuraCeramic flooring will out perform most vinyl based products and some mid range ceramic tile floors. However, unlike ceramic tile DuraCeramic adapts to room temperature making it warmer floor in colder climates. The surface is scratch resistant but not scratch proof. Like many floors, we recommend that you do not use wheels on chairs and that you always use floor protector pads and appliance movers to prevent damage.

Is DuraCeramic Easy To Install?

Yes, But why can we say that? To begin, DuraCeramic can be installed directly over concrete, suspended wood, and some resilient floors. Some floors need underflor which is a felt like roll that is rolled out and the floor can be installed on that.
Make sure everything is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, grease and so forth. DuraCeramic is flexible but the subfloor must be flat. DuraCeramic can be cut by scoring and flexing the tile much like drywall.
