Glazed Tiles

If you want walls with real impact, glazed tiles are a great choice. Their glossy surface reflects light, adds depth to colour and makes cleaning simple. Here’s what to know before you start planning.

 

What are glazed wall tiles?

These are porcelain or ceramic tiles with a coloured glass coating, fired at high temperatures. The glaze gives them a smooth, reflective finish and vibrant colour. It also makes them easy to clean, offering protection from stains and splashes. They’re designed specifically for walls, where finish and detail matter most.

 

Can you use glazed wall tiles on floors?

Usually, no. Most glazed wall tiles aren’t rated for floor use, as the surface is too smooth, especially when wet. If you love the look and want it on the floor too, check if the range includes floor-rated options.

 

Do glazed tiles need sealing?

No, that’s one of their biggest benefits. The glaze seals the surface from moisture and stains, so once they’re installed, you’re good to go. No extra sealing steps needed.

 

How do I clean glazed wall tiles?

Glazed tiles are low-fuss and easy to keep looking fresh:

• Use warm water and a soft cloth for everyday cleaning
• A mild kitchen or bathroom cleaner works for deeper cleans
• A microfibre cloth will boost the shine if you want an extra gleam
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals as they can dull the surface over time.
