Floor Tiles

When selecting floor tiles be sure to consider the amount of traffic the area will receive first. This is especially important when selecting glazed floor tiles, like the glazed ceramic or glazed porcelain tiles on offer from Johnson Tiles.

Some floor tiles may only be suitable for residential bathrooms while others may be suitable for busier areas like kitchens, shopping malls or even airport terminals. Johnson tiles are tested for abrasion and wear resistance at their technical laboratory and are given a classification according to the Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI) method. This rating runs from 1 to 5, 1 being the lowest rating - suitable for domestic bathrooms where footwear is seldom worn, and 5 being the highest rating - suitable for busy areas like shopping centres. Be sure to choose the correct rating for the correct application to get the most from your tiles.

Glazed ceramic and glazed porcelain floor tiles are a practical alternative to other methods of flooring. They are easy to clean and maintain, waterproof, will not stain and are cool in summer and can be heated (with under-floor heating) in winter.

Floor tiles in South Africa are such versatile design tools. You can mix solid colour tiles with decorated tile designs to add accents to certain areas and personalise your look. Johnson Tiles has an extensive range of glazed ceramic and glazed porcelain tiles for sale, so why not browse through the tile pages to find your ideal floor tile?

South Africa may once have fallen behind some of the more design orientated nations but, when it comes to advanced ceramic durability mixed with design intelligence, this is no longer the case. Remember that successful selection and installation of your tiles is key to them lasting you a lifetime, so always follow the instructions on the packaging and be sure to use the correct adhesives and grouts as well.
