Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers to common bathroom floor tile questions
What is the best tile material for bathroom floors?
Porcelain tiles are considered the best choice for bathroom floors due to their low water absorption, high durability, and slip-resistant options. Ceramic tiles are also excellent for budget-conscious projects while maintaining good performance.
What DCOF rating should I look for?
For bathroom floors, look for a DCOF rating of at least 0.42 for dry areas, 0.60 for shower areas, and 0.65 for public or senior bathrooms. This ensures adequate slip resistance when wet.
Why are small tiles better for shower floors?
Small tiles (2"x2" to 4"x4") provide more grout lines, which act like tire treads for better grip. They also conform better to shower slopes for proper drainage and are easier to install around fixtures.
Should I choose matte or glossy tiles?
Always choose matte or textured finishes for bathroom floors. Glossy tiles become very slippery when wet and pose a safety risk. Matte finishes provide better traction while still offering attractive aesthetics.
What are the benefits of epoxy grout?
Epoxy grout is non-porous, stain-resistant, and doesn't require sealing. It provides additional slip resistance, prevents mold growth, and is much easier to clean than traditional cement grout.
How thick should bathroom floor tiles be?
Bathroom floor tiles should be at least 6mm thick to ensure durability and proper performance in wet environments. Thicker tiles provide better stability and longevity.
