6mm Porcelain Tile Slabs - TilersForums.com

Hi Everyone,

I know 6mm porcelain tile slabs are great for walls but has anyone had any experience with them as bathroom flooring? Would you recommend this new trend of thinner porcelain tile slab to customers as floor tiles as well? I know 12mm slabs for flooring is sufficient but never heard of the longevity of 6mm slabs for flooring.

Thank you,
Daniel

Yes they are suitable for floors. 👍. As usual make sure you follow fitting instructions for said product.

I have laid them on floors a few times, but 6mm trowel on the tile and 10/12mm on the floor.
Just make sure the floor is level and use lots of leveling clips.

6mm is going to be too thick, also don't forget that the thicker material is the less warmth they will keep especially if the bathroom is on the 1st floor, 6mm tiles will be much more colder if there is no floor heating, if yes, 6mm is going to be even better as they will permit the warmth to go through much more easier
