Tile questions
Is porcelain or ceramic tile better for a bathroom?
Both can work well when the selected product is approved for the application. Porcelain has very low water absorption and is one of our preferred options for bathroom floors. Ceramic offers a wide range of styles for shower walls and decorative areas; floor use depends on the specific tile’s rating.
Can I use the same tile on shower walls and floors?
Only if the product is approved for both locations. Shower floors need particular attention to wet traction, drainage and slope. A tile suitable for a shower wall may not be appropriate underfoot. Choose each surface based on its intended use rather than appearance alone.
What tile works well on a shower floor?
Appropriately rated porcelain mosaics are a common choice because smaller pieces can follow many shower floor slopes. Grout joints can contribute to traction, but small size alone does not establish slip resistance. The tile, drain layout and installation system must work together.
Does tile and grout make a shower waterproof?
No. Tile and grout alone do not create a waterproof shower. The assembly needs a properly designed and installed waterproofing system, with suitable drainage and slope. Discuss the complete installation with your installer when planning the tile selection.
Is large-format tile easier to clean?
Large-format tile reduces the number of grout joints and can create a streamlined appearance, particularly on shower walls. The tile surface and remaining joints still need care. Larger tile also requires appropriate surface preparation and is not suitable for every shower floor design.
How should I choose a tile finish?
Consider appearance, cleaning and the surface’s intended use. Matte or textured tile is not automatically suitable for a wet floor; check the specific product’s documented suitability. Shower walls and backsplashes allow more freedom to explore glossy, matte and decorative finishes.
