Types of floor tiles

There is a large amount of choice when selecting new tiles, but some of them are designed only for walls, other tiles are designed to be used to tile floors, whilst some can be used to decorate either type of surface. To prevent people slipping on floor tiles, they usually have textured surfaces, so that they are safe for use in kitchens and bathrooms where splashing from taps and water sources occurs. When tiling walls, the tiles tend to be thinner, which also makes them cheaper in general. Borders are also often used with wall tiles to break up expanses of tiles. Tile stores and DIY shops usually mark tiles so you know you're getting the right sort of tiles for your walls and floors.
