Ceramic tile is made from clay and other natural materials, then fired at high temperatures. It is typically more affordable and easier to install compared to granite tile. Granite tile is made from natural stone, specifically granite, which is a harder and more durable material than ceramic. Granite tile is also more resistant to scratching and heat compared to ceramic tile.
