Tiles buying guide

Porcelain, ceramic and stone

Porcelain is denser and less absorbent than ceramic, which makes it the choice for floors, wet areas and anywhere exposed to frost or heavy traffic. Ceramic is lighter and easier to cut, and remains fine for walls. Natural stone brings variation that manufactured tile cannot match but requires sealing, more careful adhesive selection and ongoing maintenance.

Slip ratings for wet areas

Floor tiles in showers, bathrooms, external areas and around pools have slip resistance requirements under the National Construction Code. Tiles are rated by P classification for pedestrian surfaces. A polished porcelain that looks excellent in a showroom may not be compliant on a shower floor — check the rating against the application before ordering.

Ordering allowance

Order 10 to 15 percent over the measured area for cuts and waste, more for diagonal or herringbone layouts and for large-format tile where offcuts are less reusable. Order the full quantity in one batch — shade and calibration vary between production runs and a top-up order rarely matches.

Rectified versus pressed edges

Rectified tiles are mechanically ground to an exact size after firing, allowing very narrow joints and a crisp contemporary look. Pressed tiles have a slightly rounded, less precise edge and need a wider joint to absorb size variation. Rectified tile is less forgiving of an out-of-flat substrate, because the narrow joint gives lippage nowhere to hide, so the floor preparation has to be correspondingly better.

Frequently asked questions

How much extra tile should I order?
Allow 10 percent for straight layouts, 15 to 20 percent for diagonal or patterned work, and keep a box spare for future repairs.
What slip rating do I need for a shower floor?
Check the current National Construction Code requirements for the specific area. Shower floors typically require a higher classification than general bathroom floors, and mosaic formats help by adding grout joints.
Can floor tiles be used on walls?
Usually yes, subject to weight and the substrate's capacity. Wall tiles, however, are generally not strong enough for floors.
