Tiles FAQ's

How do you distinguish between slip ratings?

P1: The surface offers the lowest level of slip resistance. It's suitable for areas where it is always expected to be dry and where people remain mostly stationary.

P2: A slightly higher slip resistance than P1. Tiles with this rating may be used in areas that can become wet through condensation or occasional spills but are promptly cleaned up.

P3: Provides a moderate level of slip resistance. This rating is often considered appropriate for areas subject to wetting, like residential bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens, where occupants walk with increased care.

P4: Surfaces with this rating offer a good level of slip resistance. P4 rated tiles are often found in areas that are regularly wet, such as public bathrooms, commercial kitchens, and external common areas.

P5: This is the highest slip resistance classification and offers the highest level of protection against slipping when the surface is wet. P5 tiles are typically used in very high slip risk areas such as ramps, swimming pool surrounds, or other special use areas.

What do the different variation ratings mean?

V1 - Uniform Appearance: Tiles with a V1 rating exhibit very little variation from tile to tile. You can expect them each to look very similar to one another, with consistent colour and pattern throughout.

V2 - Slight Variation: With a V2 rating, you'll notice some differences in texture, pattern, or colour among the tiles, but these are slight. The design intent is to mimic the appearance of natural materials which inherently have slight variations.

V3 - Moderate Variation: V3-rated tiles will have a noticeable amount of difference in their colour, texture, or imprinted pattern from tile to tile. This adds a greater degree of uniqueness to each tile, resulting in a more varied and natural-looking surface when the tiles are laid out.

V4 - Substantial Variation: Tiles marked with V4 will show a significant variation from piece to piece. When you use V4 tiles, the end result will be a very dynamic and random look, closely mimicking the natural variation you would find in materials like stone or wood.

How do porcelain and ceramic tiles differ in terms of durability and application?

Porcelain tiles are denser and less porous than ceramic tiles, making them more durable and suitable for high-traffic areas and outdoor use. Ceramic tiles, while still durable, are better suited for indoor and lower-traffic areas.

How does tile thickness affect its application and installation?

Thicker tiles are typically more durable and resistant to breakage, making them suitable for floors and heavy-use areas. Thinner tiles are lighter and easier to cut, ideal for wall applications and areas with less foot traffic.

Can I use the same tiles on the floors and walls of my bathroom?

Absolutely but depends on the tile! Using the same tiles on floors and walls can create a unified look. However, you ensure that the floor tiles have sufficient slip resistance and are durable enough to withstand foot traffic.
