What kind of tiles do you need for a wetroom?
For a wetroom, you need waterproof, slip-resistant, and durable tiles. Here are the best options:
1. Floor Tiles (Slip-Resistant & Waterproof)
Since wetrooms have a constantly wet floor, anti-slip tiles are essential.
Porcelain Tiles – Highly waterproof, durable, and available in various textures.
Textured Ceramic Tiles – Good for grip but slightly less durable than porcelain.
Mosaic Tiles (Small Tiles with More Grout Lines) – More traction due to grout lines, ideal for sloping floors.
Best Slip Ratings: Look for tiles with an R11+ slip rating or PTV 36+ (Pendulum Test Value) for safety.
2. Wall Tiles (Waterproof & Stylish)
Since walls don’t require slip resistance, you have more choices:
Porcelain or Ceramic Tiles – Low maintenance, fully waterproof, and available in many designs.
Large-Format Tiles – Fewer grout lines mean less maintenance and a sleek appearance.
3. Adhesive Consideration
- Choose a flexible, waterproof tile adhesive designed for wet areas.
