Ceramic and Porcelain tile mixed

[KevinH]

Hey All, I decided I'm going to do my own tile work in my basement I'm finishing (never done tile before). I started into a pattern in the hallway using a mixture of Ceramic tile with Porcelain tile for the borders/pattern. I got to thinking, is there an issue with mixing the tiles together in terms of expansion rate, etc? Not sure if it's relevant but both tiles have a PEI rating of 4 but the porcelain of course has less water absortion .05% vs the ceramic that is at 2.5%. Here is a picture of the tile work so far.

Welcome to the forum, Kevin.

No worries. Porcelain tile is actually a subset of ceramic tile.

Good news, thanks!

Yeah, they're all the same as to setting them. Porcelean is harder, but "It's All Good."

Thanks!! I was a little concerned that it wouldn't look good. But so far everyone who has seen it has liked it.
