Which tile is best Porcelain or ceramic for a concrete floor?
Best answer about What is the best tile for concrete basement floors?
Answer by Mr Jay
Well porcelain tile -is- ceramic tile. It’s just a bit of a different mix and baked differently than the ceramic, so that the color goes through the entire tile and not just at the top.
The porcelain is also a more durable tile, so if you plan on dropping heavy things on the floor down there, then that’s the one for you. In a basement, both will be pretty cold underfoot too.
Just check for moisture issues and that it’s properly level first before doing anything, but either way you are good to go

Either will be fine for a residential setting. Installed properly both will last for years to come.
Neither will break if installed properly if something is dropped on them. You can possible get top chips if a heavy object is dropped and both will show the inner body core unless you buy a true porcelain and not the average porcelain glazed tile.
Unless you have major moisture problems tile can be used any time. Some moisture ( if any) will wick up and dissipate as normal.
