Looking for porcelain tiles. Confused with porcelain and natural stone which is better for bathroom? Which is better from following.. glazed vitrified tiles or double charge vitrified tiles or unglazed vitrified tiles or polished vitrified tiles or full body vitrified tiles or soluble salt vitrified tiles. Kindly help.

You can use natural stone like marble for floor but do not use granite for floor at all as it is very slippery when wet. As for tiles do not go for glazed vitrified tiles for the floor for the same reason. ( floor becomes slippery once wet and may cause mishap) Go for ceramic anti skid tiles that are specially meant for bathroom floor. For wall tiles you can use whatever you like and then decide over the matching anti skid floor tile/ marble. Double charged vitrified tiles are usually used for flooring in rest of the house.

A good quality sheet vinyl floor is going to give you the durability and cleanability you're looking for. It will last forever. There are lots of different choices of colour and pattern and you can probably find a remnant at a good price. You say you need something durable for the wall too? Do you mean the walls in the shower, around your bathtub, or the walls in the rest of the bathroom? A company like Bath Fitter offers an easy care solution which is seamless (for the bathing/showering area) but a good quality paint should be fine for the rest of your walls.

Could you look at separating walls between the two? What else do you want to put in the bathroom? Probably the best type of tile is a white ceramic tile to blend the floor toilet with the floor. Do users have good vision (not elderly) as if there is a problem of using the floor toilet in the night, you might need a darker tile to delineate the floor toilet

I currently have the same problem! I wanted that but the tiler didn't do it. I saw it after the shower was finished tiling (when I got home from work). They told me it was too difficult to cut the porcelain tile in a triangle shape and install. I did some research and I can't find a product that can hold weight, even if it is just to shave my leg! I suppose I should have had a triangle corner with a base (that wasn't floating) but I think it is too late. Hopefully someone can tell both of us a better answer. Just realize this was posted July 2014....... where you able to solve the problem??????

Bathroom floor tiles have their own specifications. If you go to a tile shop and ask for the same, you'll get it with all the required specs specially designed for bathrooms.

Before starting
wet works(tiling works). We need to test base slab by arranging ponding test. If any leakages
found in slab, it needs to be treated with injection grouting. After completing
this process. We need to apply brush bond RFX or equivalent water proofing
chemicals on top of base slab. After completion of water proofing it need to be
protected with screed concerting with min 25mm.
