Wall tile may have lower breaking strength, different thickness, and a surface not designed for foot traffic. A tile described as floor and wall tile can generally serve both purposes when installation requirements are met. Product packaging and technical data should control the application. Size and appearance alone do not establish floor suitability.

Key considerations

  • breaking strength
  • traffic resistance
  • slip resistance
  • wall-only products
  • floor-and-wall options
  • technical ratings
