Bathroom flooring utilises perhaps the largest variety of tile options from mosaic to large and from digital print to natural hues. Be mindful of friction with the COF number. Tile manufacturers list the Coefficient of Friction (COF) ratings for each tile in their written and online material. Higher COF means better surface resistance.
Ceramic and vitrified tiles with a rating of 0.42 are the most popular and recommended for bathroom floors. Because of the excellent grip, and its seaming offers for both wet and dry feet, mosaic design tiles are frequently used for bathroom floors. These tiles replicate the complex mosaic tile designs effortlessly.
