Wall Tiles

FAQs

What is the best wall tile material?

At Wholesale Domestic, we offer a range of tiles made from several durable materials to suit your budget. These include:

• Porcelain wall tiles – These are a strong, stylish, and low-maintenance option. Porcelain tiles are perfect for wet areas like sinks and shower enclosures, and their low porosity makes them resistant to stains and wear.
• Ceramic wall tiles – These tiles are a more budget-friendly option. However, they're still made from durable, water-resistant materials that are easy to keep clean.

Can you use wall tiles on the bathroom floor?

Some wall tiles are dual-use – meaning they’re suitable for use on the floor, but that doesn’t mean every design will be compatible with floor installation.

If you’re planning to use wall tiles on your bathroom floor, make sure that the weight capacity of the tiles is appropriate for walking on. You’ll also need to consider the slip resistance of the tiles, as many floor tiles are specially designed to have extra grip – unlike wall tiles that could become a slip hazard, especially when wet.
