Ceramic Bathroom Tiles - FAQs
Ceramic bathroom tiles are a versatile and stylish choice for any bathroom. They come in a wide range of colours, styles, and finishes, making it easy to find the perfect tile to suit your design preferences.
What makes ceramic tiles a good choice for bathroom walls and floors?
Ceramic tiles are an excellent choice for bathroom walls and floors due to their glazed, non-porous nature and durability. They are resistant to moisture and stains, making them ideal for wet areas. Ceramic tiles are available in a vast array of colours, from classic whites and neutrals to vibrant blues and greens, allowing you to create anything from a serene spa-like atmosphere to a bold, modern look. Their durability ensures they can withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy bathroom.
Are ceramic bathroom tiles available in non-slip options?
Yes, ceramic bathroom tiles are available in non-slip options. For a tile to be considered non-slip, it should have a slip rating of R11 - R13, indicating a rough surface that makes slipping harder when wet. This is particularly important in bathrooms where water can make surfaces slippery. Many ceramic tiles designed for bathrooms come with a textured finish to enhance their slip resistance, ensuring safety without compromising on style.

Can large ceramic tiles be used in small bathrooms?
Absolutely! Large ceramic tiles can be used in small bathrooms to create a more spacious look. Large tiles reduce the number of grout lines, creating a more seamless and open appearance. This can make a small bathroom feel larger and less cluttered. Large ceramic tiles are available in various styles, including sleek, modern designs and more traditional looks, allowing you to achieve the desired aesthetic while maximizing the sense of space.
What are the differences between ceramic and porcelain bathroom tiles?
Porcelain tiles are denser and harder than ceramic tiles, making them suitable for both wall and floor applications. They are highly durable and resistant to moisture, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms. Porcelain tiles can come in very large sizes, requiring specialist cutting tools, whereas ceramic tiles are typically smaller and easier to cut. Porcelain tiles are often more expensive due to advanced digital printing techniques that make them look like natural stone, marble, or wooden planks, compared to simpler printing techniques used for ceramic tiles. Ceramic tiles, while slightly less durable, are more budget-friendly and come in a wide range of colours and finishes, making them a versatile option for any bathroom.
