Suitable tiles for flooring
When choosing new tiles, there are many types t choose between, and some are more suited to use on walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, and there are other tiles that can be used for walls and floors. To prevent people slipping on floor tiles, they usually have textured surfaces, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where they’re exposed to splashing from water. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. Another difference to floor tiles is that wall tiles are often combined with a border. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you don’t end up with the wrong sort of tiles for your floors or walls.
