Perfect for Bathrooms

300x600 bathroom wall tiles create a spacious feel while making shower walls easier to clean thanks to fewer grout joints than smaller tiles.

Ceramic vs Porcelain 300x600 Tiles

Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are available in the 300x600 size.

Ceramic Tiles

Porcelain tiles are denser, stronger and less porous than ceramic tiles. They are suitable for both walls and selected floor applications, depending on the product specifications. Always check the individual product page for installation recommendations.
