lol, yes, I know. Technically apes and man are the same because we both walk upright on hind legs. LOLTechnically, both are ceramics. Porcelain is made with a more refined clay (thank you, Google) and is more durable (and I assume more expensive) than ceramic tile.
Both are available in glossy or matte finish, so that's not really an indicator of which one you have.
They arent the same because they have different qualities with brittleness and thickness and ? Thats where I was scetchy on how to drill it. Will ceramic drill the same as porcelan ? I dont know that. I also know ceramic tile is more likely to have a gloss finish. Maybe thats because the gloss went out of style but ceramic tile is not the industry standard at this time, I know that.
