Ceramic tiles that are 7mm or thicker can be used on floors. Otherwise, you’ll need to lay porcelain or stone floor tiles.
Ceramic tiles that are thinner than 7mm are more susceptible to cracking under weight and are therefore not suitable for flooring. They can be used as wall tiles.
Ceramic tiles that are 7mm or thicker provide stylish and practical flooring in bathrooms, kitchens and even hallways. Because they are durable, easy to clean and resistant to dirt stains or marks, ceramic floor tiles are an ideal choice for high-traffic areas of the home. At Homebase, we have a range of ceramic floor tiles, available in a variety of different colours, patterns and styles to suit your space. We also stock an extensive range of porcelain floor tiles and self-adhesive floor tiles.
