Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tiles are a common product to use in bathrooms, they create an impervious surface keeping your bathroom floor and walls free from moisture damage. A non slip variety is recommended for the floor as when wet ceramic tiles are very slippery.
They are excellent aesthetically as they come in some many color, texture and patterened options. The sizes vary greatly from small mosaic tiles to large almost slab sized. Borders or friezes add interest and you can often find bathroom themed tiles like shells, fish, bubbles, yellow ducks etc.
