All Tiles — Expert Buying Guide
Browse the complete Tile Experience range — porcelain, ceramic, marble-effect, wood-effect, concrete-effect and outdoor formats — all in one place. Whether you're tiling a wet room, a kitchen splashback, a hallway or a patio, the choice comes down to four things: slip rating, size, finish and material. Floors need R10 as a minimum (R11 for wet rooms and outdoors); walls can sit at R9 because slip resistance matters less vertically.
Start by deciding where the tile is going. Floor tiles are denser and rated for foot traffic; wall tiles are lighter and easier to cut around fittings. Large-format tiles (600×1200 mm and up) are the dominant UK trend right now — fewer grout lines mean easier cleaning, a cleaner aesthetic, and small rooms feel bigger, not smaller.
For finishes, matt porcelain hides watermarks and limescale — the practical choice for family bathrooms and busy kitchens. Polished and gloss reflect more light and work beautifully in guest bathrooms or en-suites with lower traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What slip rating do I need for bathroom floor tiles?
For bathroom floors, choose R10 as a minimum — suitable for most domestic wet areas. Wet rooms and shower floors where water pools benefit from R11. R9 is for walls only, where slip resistance isn't a factor.
What size tiles are best for small bathrooms?
Counter-intuitively, large-format tiles (600×600 mm or larger) make small bathrooms feel bigger — fewer grout lines create the illusion of more space. Reserve small mosaics for the shower tray or a single feature wall.
How do I calculate how many tiles I need?
Measure the area in m² (length × width) then add 10% for cuts and wastage — 15% if you're laying diagonally or in a complex pattern. Always order from the same batch to ensure colour consistency.
Can I see how a tile looks in my own room before buying?
Yes — our free tile visualiser lets you upload a photo of your room (or use one of our templates) and drop any tile from our range straight onto the walls or floor. You can experiment with grout colours and laying patterns before you commit.
Can I use wall tiles on floors?
Only if they are rated for floor use — check the spec for "Wall & Floor" application. Wall-only tiles are thinner and may crack under foot traffic. Floor-rated tiles can always go on walls.
