Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common bathroom tile questions
What is the best tile material for bathroom floors?
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are excellent choices for bathroom floors due to their water resistance, durability, and slip-resistant options. Natural stone like marble requires more maintenance but offers luxury appeal.
How do I choose between wall and floor tile coverage?
Full-wall coverage provides maximum moisture protection and creates a luxurious spa-like feel. Half-wall designs are cost-effective and work well with painted upper walls or wallpaper for visual interest.
