How to use modern floor tiles as wall tiles.

The PEI (Porcelain Enamel Institute) rating is used to measure the durability and wear resistance of floor and wall tiles. Tiles with PEI rating of 0 are classified as wall-only tiles and tiles with PEI rating of 1 to 5 are considered as floor tiles. But this is no reason to stop you from using floor tiles (PEI 1 to 5) on your walls. Here are some tips on how you can use your modern floor tiles to achieve a trendy wall.

• The large format floor tile that looks great as an exterior floor tile in garden rooms can also be a trendy addition for small bathrooms by using it as bathroom floor tile. With few visible grout joints, using these as a bathroom wall tile can give an illusion of wider space.
• Go for a modern minimalistic approach by using the same floor tiles for your walls. Modern bathrooms use this technique to get a calmer and comfier atmosphere.
• Consider digitally manufactured floor tiles as coverings to posh up your floor and walls. Playing with geometric shapes and textures brings the sass back to your room.
• Highly polished floor tiles (marbled or solid), are also a good design option for your walls. Their reflective properties help to lighten and luxe up your room.

Just remember that when choosing a floor tile for your wall, consider the wall’s strength and constitution.  Some floor tiles can be too heavy to support. To get the best direction for that issue, connect to a nearby tiler by browsing our listings. Ask for advice and get quotes!
