While the visual appeal and style of your tiles are important factors to consider, they should not be the only criteria for your final decision. It is essential to select your tiles based on their specific use.
60×60 tiles are often thinner, making them more suitable for wall installation. However, when it comes to flooring, especially in outdoor spaces, opt for thicker, more durable tiles, such as flagstones.
Another important aspect to consider for floor tiles is their resistance to wear and tear caused by walking and heavy use. The level of resistance required depends on the amount of foot traffic in the area where the flooring will be installed.
For example, in high-traffic areas such as hallways or entrance halls, you will need tiles that can withstand heavy traffic. In a bedroom, however, tiles suitable for moderate traffic may be more appropriate.
When considering areas exposed to moisture, both indoors and outdoors, the level of slip resistance must be taken into account. Hence the need to choose tiles with a non-slip surface for areas such as pool surrounds, terraces, outdoor stairs and balconies.
Similarly, in kitchens and showers, the 6060 tiles must not only offer a high level of grip, but also have resistance to chemicals for regular cleaning.
In addition, the ability of the tiles to resist furniture movement, scratches and falling objects must be taken into account, as well as their porosity, which affects the level of soiling and frost resistance.
