Both porcelain and vitrified ceramic tiles will stand up to a lot of wear and tear, making them probably the best materials for floors in kitchens and hallways and other high traffic areas. Most natural stone tiles and mosaics are great for these areas too.
Install a floor of natural stone, porcelain or ceramic floor tiles and it will repay you with many years of use.
Obviously you need tiles that are suitable for your location: we don't recommend highly polished tiles for bathroom floors as they could become slippery for bare feet when wet. The best finish for a bathroom is structured and tiles that have been tested for low slip potential. Floors in kitchens, utility rooms, cloakrooms and halls will need to be easy to clean and hard wearing. Odyssey and Victorian Floor tiles and some Tileworks tiles are suitable for external use. Make sure you check the suitability before you start your project!
Porcelain tiles are easy to keep clean. They should be sealed when they are installed and after that will only need sweeping and light mopping. Sealing is also necessary for vitrified ceramic tiling and regular cleaning will keep it looking good for years. Natural stone needs sealing too, and some will need annual sealing to ensure it keeps its beauty (read our Fixing Guide for more information).
