Ceramic Tile Options: How to Choose

Ceramic Tile Options: How to Choose

Ceramic finishes vary in absorption, strength, slip resistance, size and surface treatment, so the correct choice depends on location and use.

Match the condition

Wet rooms, façades, floors and walls require different product and installation characteristics.

Design the full build-up

Substrate preparation, waterproofing, adhesive, joints and movement allowances determine performance as much as the tile.

Review appearance realistically

Large samples reveal colour variation, texture and grout effects better than a small catalogue image.

Practical checklist

• Check declared technical characteristics
• Use compatible installation products
• Plan movement and perimeter joints

A suitable tile can still fail when the substrate or installation system is wrong.
