Cold to stand on, but durable and water-resistant. They are available in sheets in numerous colours, patterns and shapes and made of natural clay, decorated on one side with coloured glaze. The surfaces are normally glazed, but are not as highly polished as wall tiles, while others are matt or have an unglazed finish. Unglazed tiles must be sealed with the correct proprietary sealant (recommended by the manufacturer) once laid.
Once you have decided on the tile, note the length and width of the sheet and measure the room carefully. Measure its length and divide it by the length of one sheet. Round up the number of sheets to the next whole number. Now measure the width of the room and divide that by the width of the sheet, round up the number of sheets to the nearest whole number. Multiply the two whole numbers together. This will give the number of sheets required to tile the room.
It is always wise to buy an extra sheet to keep as a spare in case of accidental damage in the future.
