Q: What is the best tile for a shower floor?

• <div><p>Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.</p></div>

Q: What tiles are suitable for a fireplace hearth?

• <div><p>You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn&rsquo;t mean you should. For example, it&rsquo;s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. </p></div>

Q: What is the most durable tile for a shower floor?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors. </p></div>

Q: What tile is least slippery for a shower floor?

• <div><p>Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls. </p></div>

Q: What tile spacing should I use?

• <div><p>The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you&rsquo;re installing it. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-bathroom-floor-and-wall-tile-spacers.htm">Choosing the right tile spacers</a> to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn&rsquo;t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.</p></div>
