The cost of porcelain tile is measured per square meter. Mostly these types of ceramics are used for flooring due to their hard-wearing. Porcelain floor tiles are generally sold and installed by the square foot. To determine how much material you need, measure your room. First, divide the space into squares. If the room is square or rectangular without protrusions and cupboards, you can measure the walls. If you have any protrusions, cupboards, or gaps in the space, measure those sections separately from the rest of the room and add their totals at the end. Measure the length of two adjoining walls in inches. Multiply them together to get the total number of square inches of space. If necessary, add square inches of closets and raised areas. Divide the total number of square inches by 144 and round to the nearest whole number. This is the total square footage of the space. For standard installations, add 5% to 10% to this total to account for waste and breakage. For patterns, add about 15% to 20% to this total, as patterns require additional cuts, giving more material for work. Porcelain floor tiles are available in many different colors, finishes, and patterns. Costs overlap, depending on the style, where the tile is made, and how it is made. However, it is often possible to combine different types of tiles to get an idea of your final cost. Remember that there may be an overlap between categories. For example, unglazed tiles can be polished or matte and can be found in a variety of sizes, including mosaics. Below are general cost ranges for each type. Unglazed ceramic floor tiles cost an average of $2 to $15 per square foot. Unglazed porcelain can have several appearances. Porcelain is made from compressed clay dust, which is then fired at extremely high temperatures. It is non-porous and does not require a glaze to seal the surface. 
Therefore, unglazed porcelain can be available in many unique colors and color blends. It can be polished, matte or high-textured. The average cost of matte ceramic floor tiles ranges from $2 to $30 per square foot. Matte porcelain floor tiles can be glazed or unglazed. They can be one color or a mix or blend of different colors. They can also come in a variety of styles, from wood and stone grains to some fabric-like patterns. Matte simply means that the surface is flat, smooth, or nearly smooth and does not reflect light, resulting in a wide variety of looks, depending on the manufacturer. Glazed porcelain floor tiles cost an average of $3 to $30 per square foot. Glazed porcelain floor tiles are available in a variety of styles and colors. Some tiles receive a single glaze, which can be solid or variegated. Others are glazed with a pattern, which means the pattern is printed on the glaze of the tile. Still, others have glaze layers, resulting in different textures as different glaze layers form and fluctuate over the surface of the tiles. The average cost of polished ceramic floor tiles is $5 to $30 per square foot. Polished porcelain floor tiles are usually unglazed. Some tiles may have a glossy glaze finish, but this is not the same as polished tiles. The surface of polished tiles is smoothed with an increasingly fine grain. The result is a highly reflective and smooth tile. Since porcelain is non-porous, the polished finish of these tiles can far exceed that of natural stone. Polished porcelain tiles can be very smooth and shiny, with no visible imperfections that mar the finish. Mosaic tiles cost between $5 and $30 per square foot, although most average $20 per square foot. Mosaic means tiles of 2 inches or less. They can be glazed or unglazed, polished, matte, or textured in veneer. They also come in any style. Most porcelain mosaics are mounted on a 1 fiberglass grid. The sheet is approximately 12 inches, which means the mosaics are installed 12 inches at a time, not piece by piece.
