How to choose porcelain slabs and tiles that are right for you

Porcelain slabs and tiles come in a variety of forms for a variety of purposes so the first job is to ensure you’re picking the right one for the task at hand. This can be simply done by making sure you’re looking at wall tiles or slabs for your walls and the same for floors or exterior applications. From there, other practical factors like size and space come into play, calculating how many you’ll need to cover the area at hand. For larger spaces, larger tiles or slabs are typically preferred but it’s not a hard and fast rule. Aesthetics and styling also play a huge role which is where choices about colour, patterns and even shapes of tiles are considered. You may even choose to mix and match them with other options like granite slabs for a bit of contrast.
