<p>Bathrooms are high-moisture, high-slip zones. Here is what matters when specifying tiles for them.</p><h2>Check water absorption</h2><p>Vitrified tiles absorb under 0.5% water; ceramic tiles absorb more. For floors, prefer vitrified; for walls, premium ceramic is acceptable.</p><h2>Understand slip ratings</h2><p>R9 is walkable, R10 is recommended for wet bathrooms, and R11–R12 suit pool decks. A large tile with a matte finish typically performs better underfoot than glossy.</p><h2>Size matters</h2><p>600×600 mm keeps grout lines low and looks cleaner. Large-format 800×1600 slabs create a seamless, spa-like look but need precise leveling systems.</p><h2>For commercial projects</h2><p>Specify rectified edges and match batch numbers at the site.
