At bath time, especially if you have young children, there will be pools of water and splashes. A variety of finishes are available to suit your bathroom tiles. There is an option to suit you.

It is best to choose tiles for floors in bathrooms that are easy to clean and maintain, and which are also the most lasting when there is a lot of moisture present. Due to the unique challenges bathrooms pose, tiled flooring is especially suitable for them. 

When considering bathroom flooring options, polished concrete, engineered wood, vinyl, and rubber are all practical choices. Tiles, on the other hand, tick all the boxes and are the most practical choice, despite their shortcomings in terms of cost, installation difficulties, longevity and maintenance.

You have the option of installing porcelain, ceramic or natural stone tiles. The following are some of the characteristics and benefits of each:

• In ceramic tiles, colours and patterns are fired into the surface layer, revealing the underlying material upon chipping or cracking. Furthermore, they may not be ideal for floors and surfaces that are exposed to a great deal of moisture due to their porous nature.
• Clays used in porcelain tiles have a higher density and are fired longer at higher temperatures. Thus, they are hard-wearing, stain-resistant, and water-resistant. In addition to being very hygienic, they are also very easy to clean and simple to install.
  You can choose from a wide variety of colours and patterns in porcelain and ceramic tiles, both of which can be glazed or unglazed. The former are non-porous and don’t need to be sealed but can be slippery and so may not be suitable as floor tiles. Wide grout lines, however, can increase their slip resistance.
• Natural stone tiles have a stunning appearance, especially when polished or honed, and so are very popular for use in various situations. They are extremely hard-wearing but can be quite porous, although marble and limestone are less so. However, when installed properly, stone tiles are treated with a protective sealant and so water penetration is not an issue.

Porcelain is generally better for bathrooms because it’s less porous. It’ll be easier to match wall tiles to floor tiles for the best effect and unglazed tiles are safer for floors too.

There’s something nice and dramatic about stone tiles, but they’re also more maintenance-intensive. Make sure they stay water-resistant by resealing them every few years.
