        "text": "Ceramic and porcelain are both clay-based, but porcelain is denser, less porous, and more water-resistant. Porcelain is baked at higher temperatures, making it exceptionally durable and impervious to moisture, which makes it ideal for heavy-use shower surrounds. However, its hardness makes it heavier and harder to cut, requiring diamond blades and sturdy wall backing. Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut, and often more cost-effective, making it a great option for bathroom accent walls, wainscoting, and secondary bathroom surrounds that see moderate moisture exposure.",
