  • Porosity: Standard ceramic tiles are more porous than vitrified tiles, making them prone to water absorption and frost damage in cold climates.
  • Slip Resistance: Textured or matte-finish ceramic tiles are safer for outdoor use (e.g., patios, walkways).
  • PEI Rating: For exteriors, choose tiles with PEI IV or V (high abrasion resistance).
  • Climate: In freeze-thaw regions, frost-resistant ceramic tiles are recommended.
