The Perfect Bathroom Tile: A Comprehensive Guide
Bathroom tiling is perhaps the most important tiling decision in your home. The tiles you choose need to be functional, safe and beautiful simultaneously. Here's everything you need to know.
Safety First: Slip Resistance
Wet bathroom floors are dangerous. Always choose tiles with a good slip resistance rating (PEI rating of 3 or higher for floors). Matte finish tiles generally provide better grip than glossy ones.
Water Absorption: Critical for Bathrooms
Bathroom tiles must have very low water absorption. Vitrified tiles (absorption < 0.5%) are perfect for bathroom floors. For walls, ceramic tiles work well as they don't face standing water.
Size Guide for Bathrooms
- Small bathrooms: 30×30 cm or 40×40 cm tiles make spaces feel larger
- Medium bathrooms: 60×60 cm vitrified is popular and modern
- Large bathrooms: Even 80×80 cm or 120×60 cm for luxury feel
- Shower area: Use small mosaic tiles or 30×60 cm for better water drainage
