Porcelain tile – Italian vs Chinese?
I need hint and helps preferably from competent and experienced installers or somebody who has dealt with this matter…
I need to mount a new floor in my apartment, as result today I went to take a little quotes on porcelain tile.
I like the corrected one, polished.
As Result at the showroom, the fellow man showed me 2 types in 24′ tiles…
Italian and Chinese.
Together looked extremely similar to me… Simply differences in colors..
But.
The Italian tile = $9 /sf
Chinese tile = $1.99 /sf
that’s a large difference in cost specially that i need to coating 850 Square Feet of floor.
As Result what is the business?… Why would i need to purchase the Italian tile over the Chinese one?
Actually..
There was Marble cheaper than the Italian porcelain, for $6 bucks… However i don’t like the maintenance thought with Marble, as result it isn’t an alternative for me.
Please… Would you instruct me a tiny bit as result i know what i’ll be doing when i solve to go and purchase anything..
Thanks a lot.
This is the initial response i got:
“I would purchase the Italian one.
As Well try mexican porcelain tile too, however Chinese? Mmmm not me.
They do inferior products.”
Please reply if you know something about what you’re talking about…
The reality that the chinese do inferior stuff does not suggest you can’t purchase anything from them…
After entire the boots of the girl that simply gave me that answer, or her computer, are made by chinese people…

I would buy the Italian one. Also try mexican porcelain tile too, but Chinese? Mmmm not me. They make inferior products.
By al6517
in my professional opinion i prefer the Italian tile or a possible domestic tile.
reason: Italian tiles are of better quality.
i would even choose a good Mexican tile over the Chinese product. I speak from a wealth of experience in tile work not to mention a long visit to the east, the Chinese people have a very different work ethic than most all of the real civilized world, believe what you will my friend you get what you pay for.
think about digging out and replacing 20% of these chinese tiles and if you have ever done this you know how fun this is .
sorry if this is not the answer you wanted but it is the most honest.

I think the price might have to do a bit with labor cost. . . Maybe. .
As far as i know, both would work fine,
