Which tiles are best for my floor?
Anti-slip tiles with a slip rating of R9 and above will be best for use in areas where the floor is likely to get wet. The slip rating of a tile informs you on a scale how slippery a tile is likely to be at an incline or when wet. See our Buying Gemini Tiles Guide to discover which anti-slip kitchen tiles are best for your floor.
What type of floor tile is not slippery?
Porcelain or glazed porcelain tiles with a suitable R rating are best for anti-slip kitchen tiles. They are ideal for floors that are likely to frequently become wet, due to their ability to withstand standing water.
Which is better glossy or matt floor tiles?
Tiles with a glossy finish are generally more slippery, particularly when wet and so aren’t best for high-traffic areas like the kitchen. For extra grip opt for matt tiles with a structured or textured finish, like our best selling Kursaal Pure Soft Grip Tile. The texture of natural stone tiles is also great for this, however natural stone requires more maintenance than porcelain, making our stone effect Traffic Dark Grey Matt Tile a perfect alternative.
