Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use tiles outside?
Jon Bon Jovi released a great album in the late 80’s called “Slippery When Wet”. While the large majority of floor tiles can be used outside, there is a huge selection of great external tiles available with special non-slip surfaces. If you’re looking for a tile that will support being driven over, it might pay you to take a look at the ratings section we’ve put together. Wall tiles are not designed to take the extra weight exerted on a floor from foot traffic and furniture. Because the clay body of wall tiles is porous and not as thick as floor tiles, wall tiles used on floors will probably end up cracking. Porcelain tiles are 30% harder than stone tiles and are more durable. They are also less likely to wear and may not require sealing. Porcelain is a brilliant man-made product, but it will never have the soft feel of stone. We have used these hybrid tiles on a number of floors now and have had great results. These tiles can be very unforgiving though, and if you have an uneven wall that isn’t properly prepared they will show up every lump and bump.

A vitrified tile is a full-bodied tile with no surface glazing which allows the colour of the tile to run all the way through. As such, any future accidental chipping would not show up as much as it would on a glazed ceramic tile. These tiles are extremely hard wearing and are very often used in shopping centres because of their resistance to scratches. Because of the full body of these tiles, many different textures can be moulded into the tile to take on a more natural stone look. o check this out with your supplier. Glazed tiles do not need sealing, but the grouted joints can be sealed to keep them looking fresh and cleaner for longer, and also to stop water penetration. No, not usually. While there are certain unglazed tiles that are so dense they are almost stain resistant, a glazed tile is practically stain-proof.
