What is the difference between porcelain tile and ceramic tile?
Porcelain tile is effectively Ceramic tile. It is just made of a more refined material. All ceramic tiles are made up of clay and quartz ferrous sand materials, along with water. Once the tiles are formed they are fired to high temperatures and in some cases their surfaces are glazed. The only difference between Porcelain tile and regular ceramic tile is that the clay used in porcelain tile is more highly refined and purified. Consequently, porcelain tiles are denser than a standard ceramic tile. As a result, porcelain tiles are more rugged making them ideal for harsher applications such as flooring. Also, because of their higher density, porcelain tiles are less likely to absorb moisture (0.5%) which makes them more durable and more resistant to staining. Porcelain tiles are frequently found in floor applications, outdoor areas, and in cold weather climates where freezing can occur. With their low absorption capability they are less likely to crack in cold weather climates.

The only cement mortar and metal lath method which is approved by TCNA (Method F145-02), requires that the mortar bed be not less than 3/4" thick for areas up to 100 sq. ft., and not less than 1-1/4" thick for areas greater than 100 sq. ft. In view of these requirements, one must conclude that the thin bed method described above is inferior, and will likely result in failure of the installation.

How to Install Tile With a Metal Lathe
http://www.ask.com/questions-about/Metal-Tiles
1) Clean the subsurface with a cleanser that's formulated for the surface type.
2) Put metal lathe and staple it on the subfloor.
3) Create a mortar mix for a mortar bed to hold the tiles. Add water until the mix has a peanut butter-like consistency.
4) Use a trowel to create a smooth even layer, about 3/4-inch thick. Wait 24 hours for the mortar to dry.
5) Plan out the tile placement over the mortar bed. Mix a second batch of mortar and then spread it across the mortar bed in a layer about 1/4-inch thick with a notched trowel. Keep the depth even. Tilt the trowel onto its side, angled at about 45 degrees, and draw the notches through the mortar to leave lines in the material. Only spread as much mortar as you feel you can cover in 30 minutes to avoid having the material begin to cure before you've placed your tiles.
