Glazed Porcelain Bathroom Tiles - FAQ's

Are porcelain tiles suitable for bathrooms?

Glazed porcelain tiles have a very high resistance to water, making them the perfect choice for floors and walls that are subject to lots of moisture such as bathrooms and wetroom floors and walls. If you are looking to use any tiles on a wetroom floor we would always recommend you being mindful of slip resistance and plan this in where necessary.
Is glazed porcelain good for bathroom floors?

Glazed porcelain tiles are more hard wearing than most bathroom flooring options and are less likely to scratch, stain or break. Glazed porcelain tiles offer long-term durability and are a popular choice of bathroom flooring. When choosing a floor tile, check its PEI rating which is a measurement of the tile’s resistance to abrasion – the higher the PEI rating, the harder and more durable the tile’s surface is. Also look at the floor tile’s 'R' rating which indicates its slip resistance – the higher the R rating, the more slip resistance the tile will offer. We recommend using glazed porcelain mosaic floor tiles on wetroom floors due to their anti-slip properties.
How do you treat glazed porcelain tiles?

Glazed porcelain tiles do not require sealing and can be easily cleaned by firstly vacuuming any dust or loose dirt, then cleaning with a hot, water-dampened mop and mild cleaning solution. Rinse with clean water and use a soft cloth to dry.
What are the pros and cons of glazed porcelain tiles for bathrooms?

There are many advantages of using glazed porcelain tiles in bathrooms including a high-water resistance, high-stain resistance, resistance to abrasion, a huge choice of design, colour and texture, and the fact they’re suitable for both walls and floors. Being so tough, porcelain is harder to work with and therefore may require some specialist tools or perhaps even a tiling professional, however, the end result is a durable bathroom wall and floor surface that not only looks great but will stand the test of time.
