The process of choosing tiles for the bathroom has to be different from choosing tiles for other spaces. The bathroom floor is constantly wet and there is a high risk of accidents due to slipping. But by opting for anti-skid bathroom tiles, you can reduce the risk of such accidents and ensure the safety of the residents. Tiles that are designed for living rooms or bedrooms cannot be installed on the bathroom floor without the necessary considerations. Bathroom tiles need to be anti-skid and highly water resistant.
Let us further understand what anti-skid bathroom tiles are and which tile designs you can consider in this category:
What are Anti-Skid Bathroom Tiles?
Anti-skid bathroom tiles are glazed vitrified tiles designed to provide extra friction for reduced risk of slipping. Johnson’s range of anti-skid floor tiles is specially designed for wet spaces. These tiles have a matt or textured finish, which makes them more slip-resistant. The surface of these tiles is designed in such a way that it increases the friction between the floor and your feet (or footwear), which increases the grip and reduces the chance of slipping and falling.
Anti-skid floor tiles are not just for bathrooms, but can also be used across other spaces, such as swimming pools, parking areas, balconies, etc. These are usually ceramic or glazed vitrified tiles and you can find various size options to choose from, such as 30×30 cm, 60×60 cm, and more.
Best Designs in Anti-Skid Bathroom Tiles
Let us have a look at some of the best designs you can consider in anti-skid bathroom tiles:
