Both these kinds of tile have one thing in common: the floor tile is usually slip-resistant to make sure you can stand on them with confidence and safety.\r\rAlso, small tiles, like mosaic tiles, are more often used on the floor as the water gets to slop around into the grouts. In other words, a tile floor with fewer grout lines can be more slippery when it's wet.\r\rThe main difference between them is that porcelain tile has a glossy finish, while ceramic tiles have a more matte finish. Some people don't like the look of glossy tiles on the floors because they can create unnecessary amounts of glare if there is too much light in the room. You might be able to have them reglazed.\r\rMake sure your tile choices suits your bathroom style and matches the other materials, such as the shower door or shower threshold you have chosen for decorating.\r\rThe floor tiles are usually kept to a certain size so that all the grouts match up well to finish off a good-looking design. Some manufacturers sell only full packs so you may need more than one box, but usually, anywhere between eight and twelve tiles will be enough to cover an area in your shower. If you are not sure, you can always consult your local or designated tile shop. The Northern Territory State Government has a handy guide to refurbishing wet areas in your home. Your local or state government may have something similar.\r\rFinally, you would want to seal the tiles for higher durability. The proper way to seal the floor is by using clear sealant after grouting all your tiles together. You may use an epoxy or polyurethane clear sealant which does not yellow over long periods of time and ensures any cracks or damaged areas are fully covered up for extra protection.
