Choosing the Best Tiles for Your Bathroom Project
Selecting the right tile involves balancing design with technical performance. From slip resistance to moisture absorption, our team provides the technical expertise to ensure your bathroom remains both beautiful and safe for years to come.
Durability Meets Design: Porcelain vs. Ceramic
For high-traffic family bathrooms and wet rooms, we often recommend porcelain tiles due to their extremely low water absorption (<0.5%) and superior strength. If you are focusing on bathroom wall tiles or decorative splashbacks, ceramic tiles offer an incredible array of glazes and colors, such as our popular Metro bathroom tiles, which bring a classic heritage feel to modern homes.
Luxury Natural Stone & Marble
Nothing matches the unique veining of marble bathroom tiles for a true spa-like finish. While natural stone requires periodic sealing, it offers a level of character and luxury that is unmatched. For a lower-maintenance alternative, our marble-effect porcelain provides the same elegant look with the added benefit of being easy to clean and compatible with underfloor heating.
Safety & Practicality in Wet Areas
When choosing bathroom floor tiles, safety is paramount. We stock a wide range of anti-slip tiles with R10 to R13 ratings, ideal for walk-in showers and wet rooms. For added texture and grip underfoot, consider mosaics, which are not only decorative but offer more grout lines for increased slip resistance in wet zones.
