Frequently Asked Questions

Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT) are renowned for their durable glazed surface, which enhances both their strength and aesthetic appeal. These tiles stand out for their versatility, offering a wide variety of patterns and textures to suit different design preferences. What sets GVT tiles apart from other types is their glazed top layer, which can be customised with any design or colour. Using advanced high-volume inkjet printing technology, intricate patterns and vibrant colours can be imprinted onto the surface, providing endless possibilities for personalisation.

Compared to floor tiles most wall tiles typically have low Water Absorption (WA), Coefficient of Friction (COF), and Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI) ratings, which makes them unsuitable for floor installations. Tiles with a high COF rating provide better grip and are more appropriate for use on floors. In certain situations, premium wall tiles that have high WA, COF, and PEI ratings can be considered for indoor flooring in low traffic areas. However, for outdoor flooring, wall tiles cannot be considered. This is because outdoor tiles are exposed to environmental elements and need to be both resistant to these conditions and anti-slip to ensure safety and durability in various weather conditions.

Understanding the difference in strength between wall tiles and floor tiles is essential when considering their interchangeability. Floor tiles are specifically designed to be thicker, heavier, and stronger, enabling them to withstand the demands of floor usage. They are built to handle physical impacts from foot traffic, heavy loads, and accidental drops. In contrast, wall tiles are generally lighter and more delicate, making them unsuitable for bearing the stresses associated with floor use. Their construction prioritises aesthetics over durability, meaning they are less capable of withstanding significant physical impacts or heavy loads.

The exceptional strength and resistance of vitrified tiles make them perfect for areas with constant foot traffic. Their low water absorption makes them suitable for moisture-prone spaces like bathrooms and kitchens, while also preventing damage in outdoor areas. Further, these tiles are available in a wide range of designs, textures, and finishes, vitrified tiles can mimic natural materials like marble and wood, adding aesthetic value to your space. Also, simple cleaning routines are sufficient to maintain these tiles' pristine appearance. Vitrified wall tiles are a cost-effective option, offering the elegance of premium materials at a more affordable price.

Yes, GVT tiles are a great choice for high traffic as they are highly durable and stylish. Their ability to withstand wear and tear while maintaining visual appeal makes them an ideal flooring option for areas requiring both durability and design versatility. The wide selection of styles, shades and finishes allows vitrified tiles to complement any space. GVT floor tiles perfectly balance functionality and aesthetics in residential spaces or commercial establishments.
