Porcelain for bathrooms
Floors, shower walls and vanities in porcelain slabs and tiles.
Why porcelain works in the bathroom
Porcelain for bathrooms stands up to water, steam and daily cleaning. It absorbs almost no water, so floors and shower walls stay easy to keep clean, and large-format slabs up to 48x111 cover a shower wall with only a few joints.
Use one design from the floor to the shower and the vanity for a calm, continuous room, or pair a matte floor with a polished wall. Start with the surface you are planning below, then see how other bathrooms put it together.
Bathroom floors
A matte finish adds grip on a wet floor, and large tiles mean fewer grout lines to clean.
Shower walls
Cover a shower wall in large-format porcelain slabs for a surface with very few joints and almost no grout to clean.
Vanities and countertops
Porcelain slabs are cut for vanity tops and backsplashes, in the same design as the walls or as a contrast.

Porcelain in the bathroom: FAQ
Is porcelain tile good for bathroom floors?
Yes. Porcelain absorbs almost no water, so it handles splashes, steam and daily mopping. For a floor that gets wet, choose a matte finish for better grip, and a larger format for fewer grout lines to clean.
Can porcelain slabs be used on shower walls?
Yes. Large-format porcelain slabs are a popular choice for shower walls: one or two slabs can cover a wall with very few joints, so there is almost no grout to clean. Your installer plans the layout from your measurements.
Does porcelain in a shower need sealing?
No. Porcelain is non-porous, so it does not need a sealer. Clean it with water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner; the grout lines are the only part that may need extra care. See our porcelain tile cleaning guide.
What size tile is best for a small bathroom?
Larger tiles often make a small bathroom look bigger, because there are fewer grout lines to break up the floor and the walls. Ask your dealer which formats fit your room and your shower.
Can the floor, the walls and the vanity match?
Yes. One design for the floor, the shower walls and the vanity top gives a calm, continuous look. Many bathrooms also mix finishes: a matte floor for grip and a polished wall. See marble-look porcelain for a classic bathroom.
