Use Guide
Choosing Floor Rated Tiles
Floor rated tiles are designed to handle foot traffic, furniture, and daily wear. In kitchens, kitchen floor tile should have the right slip rating and be comfortable underfoot during long cooking sessions. Terracotta floor tile and brick floor tile offer warm, forgiving surfaces that hide crumbs and scuffs gracefully.
Patterns And Safety
Pattern can help with safety as well as style. Hexagon floor tile and black and white floor tile layouts provide lots of grout joints for grip, which is helpful in entries and mudrooms. Tile threshold pieces mark level changes between rooms and protect edges from chipping.
Stone And Wood Look Options
Limestone floor tiles, slate floor tile, and travertine floor tile bring the depth of natural stone to hallways and living zones. Wood look floor tile offers the feel of timber where real wood might not cope with moisture. Combining these options allows you to tailor performance to each room.
Balancing Durability And Comfort
While floor rated tiles are robust, comfort should not be ignored. Choosing mid toned finishes reduces glare and shows fewer marks between cleans. In areas where people stand for long periods, consider adding rugs or runners over floor tiles so joints and backs stay happy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is floor-rated tile?
A: Floor-rated tile is specifically manufactured to meet durability standards for foot traffic and wear. It typically meets PEI and slip-resistance ratings, making it suitable for residential and commercial use. Its tougher construction gives homeowners confidence it can handle busy entryways and kitchen traffic without failing. Choose these tiles to secure long-term performance while keeping maintenance simple for your project.
Q: Can I use wall tile on the floor?
A: No. Wall tiles are often too thin or slick for flooring. Always check PEI and COF ratings to ensure tiles are safe and durable enough for use underfoot. Opt for tiles engineered with thicker bodies and proven traction specifically approved for footpaths and other high-traffic areas. Our design experts can guide you to slip-resistant options that pair perfectly with your space and installation needs.
Q: Where is floor-rated tile best used?
A: Anywhere that experiences foot traffic—bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and outdoor walkways. These tiles are also ideal for retail, restaurant, or other high-use commercial spaces. Their slip-resistant finishes stand up to moisture, sunlight, and heavy use without losing their refined look. Choosing this material reassures guests and customers alike that the space is built to last.

Schedule a quick consultation so we can match your space with porcelain that meets performance benchmarks and warranty coverage.
