Wall tile glazes are not designed to handle the abrasive forces from foot traffic.

However, it is not usual to recommend using wall tiles in floor applications.

We specialise in bespoke decorated tiles and therefore do not normally supply plain floor tiles. We do however make decorative tiles to be incorporated into a tiled floor.
