Why Porcelain Mosaic Tile is Great for Shower Floors

A big factor to consider when selecting shower flooring is safety, as there’s a high risk of slipping when flooring is wet.

Porcelain mosaic tile is one of the best options for your bathroom tile because of its durability and ability to help create a non-skid surface, primarily due to the grout joints around the tiles. Mosaic tile installations use more grout than larger tiles, and the smaller the mosaic, the more grout there will be. Since all the grout helps add slip protection to the floor, mosaic tile doesn’t need an R-11 Anti-Slip Finish (although that’s available in larger tiles if that is what you prefer). If your mosaic tile has some texture on the surface, this can also add traction and increase the slip protection even more.

Porcelain mosaic tile is available with almost every tiles seres, therefore there is a wide array of colors, textures, and patterns to choose from. No matter what style bathroom you have – from retro to country to contemporary – you won’t have difficulty finding a porcelain mosaic tile to match your aesthetic and style.
