All Tiles Buying Guide This collection holds every tile at The Blue Space, from handmade zellige and subway tiles to large format porcelain and outdoor pavers. It covers bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, living areas and outdoor spaces, in ceramic, porcelain and natural stone. Use it to browse widely, then narrow down by material, room, look, size or shape. How do I choose the right tile? Start with where the tile will go, then choose the look. Every tile page lists whether it is for walls, floors or both, along with its slip rating, wear rating, finish and edge. A wall tile can be almost any material or finish. A floor tile needs a suitable slip and wear rating for the room. What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles? Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, which makes it better for floors, wet areas and outdoor use. Ceramic is lighter and easier to cut, and is common for wall tiles and splashbacks. Many handmade-look tiles, such as Dianna and Bella, are ceramic wall tiles, while floor ranges such as Avalon, Island Terrazzo and Tilly Tundra are porcelain. What does a tile slip rating mean? In Australia, slip resistance is classified under AS 4586, using P ratings from P0 to P5. Higher numbers mean more grip when wet. P2 suits indoor dry floors, P3 and P4 suit bathrooms and kitchens, and P5 suits outdoor areas and pool surrounds. Wall tiles usually have no slip rating because they are not walked on. What size tile should I choose? Small tiles, such as 100 x 100mm zellige or Kit Kat mosaics, add texture and suit splashbacks, niches and shower floors. Medium tiles, such as 300 x 300mm and 300 x 600mm, are versatile for bathrooms and laundries. Large tiles of 600 x 600mm and 600 x 1200mm give fewer grout lines and suit open-plan floors. Which tiles are best for outdoors? Choose porcelain with an external or grip finish and a P5 rating for open outdoor areas. Ranges such as Avalon, Southside and Luna offer external versions that match their indoor tile
