What it is

Ceramic tiles are fired clay with a glazed face. They are lighter and cheaper than vitrified tiles but absorb more water, so they suit walls more than busy floors.

Key points

  • Bathroom and kitchen walls
  • Matt anti-skid versions for bathroom floors
  • Wide range of colours and designs
  • Easy to cut and fix

Why it matters

Bathroom floors need anti-skid tiles; glossy tiles on wet floors cause falls.

How Elamentt handles it

Toilets have anti-skid floor tiles and wall tiles up to about 7 feet, as in your specification.
