[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd go with a ceramic that looks like it, since porcelain is more fragile to pots or other items being dropped. [/quote]

It's the opposite actually.

OP, we had it.  Grout is grout regardless of the tile.

It's very durable and also very hard.[/quote]

Ugh, I appreciate that Home Depot and the tile people are trying to make some sort of helpful distinction for people, but it’s really misleading to say that porcelain is always vitrified and “ceramic” isn’t. They’re both “ceramic” and you can have other clay bodies fired to as high temp and vitrification as porcelain, that may be stronger. Just don’t read too much into this “ceramic” vs “porcelain” stuff. I bet there are more useful regulated things you can look for as far as being rated for wet areas etc. [/quote]
