I am trying to decide whether to build my new terrace with concrete or ceramic tiles.
At the hardware store, good-quality concrete tiles cost about 35-40 €/sqm (3.25-3.70 $/sqft). I also found some ceramic tiles for nearly 60 €/sqm (5.60 $/sqft). They are hollow inside and have holes on the sides.
There is quite a price difference. I wonder if it is justified and if the ceramic tiles offer any advantages. So far, I’ve only heard that they are easier to clean. Are there other benefits? How about durability—do ceramic tiles last longer?
