Porcelain and ceramic tiles are among the most popular options for kitchen floors because they’re durable, stain-resistant, and low-maintenance (and relatively inexpensive, too). The good news: They’re less porous than wood, so you don’t have to worry so much about immediately wiping up spills. The bad news: You probably neglect them more than you would a more finicky floor, so they’re liekly pretty dirty by the end of the week!

Porcelain and ceramic tiles can be glazed, meaning they’ve been fired with a glass-like coating that makes them even more durable, or unglazed, which means they’re a little more porous.
