Brands in our showroom
Almost any tile works on the wall. On the floor, use a tile approved for floors, usually porcelain stoneware. In a walk-in shower, barefoot slip resistance counts: class B to DIN 51097.

That is why a bathroom usually needs two or three different tiles.
Shower wall
Any wall tile works, gloss and small formats too.
Shower floorClass B
Barefoot slip resistance to DIN 51097. Mosaic with a point drain, or slabs with a shower channel.
Drain and waterproofing
The drain sets the slope and the format. The tiler does the waterproofing, for example with the DITRA mat.
Bathroom floorR10
Matt porcelain stoneware. Large formats give few joints.
Vanity wall
Splash water only. Finish half-height tiling with an edge profile, such as the Finec trim.
Wall, bathroom floor and shower floor that match. All values come from the manufacturer.
Porcelain stoneware and wall tile
Wall, floor and shower in the same Avorio tone. The shower floor gets the textured Grip surface with R11.

Data sheets often show two values. The R value is tested with shoes, class A, B or C barefoot and wet. In the shower, the barefoot class counts.
Barefoot, wet (DIN 51097)
Private bathrooms have no legal requirement. The German accident insurance (DGUV) names B for shower areas.
With shoes (DIN 51130)
R10 is a common choice for the bathroom floor. Some manufacturers recommend R11 together with B in the shower.

Cement grout is the rule in bathrooms. Epoxy grout is easy to clean and resists aggressive cleaners.
Joint width
The tile manufacturer sets the width. For Equipe Argile, for example, it is at least 2 mm.
Grout colour
Grout in the tile's tone looks calm, a contrasting grout shows the grid. Choose the grout last, with the sample in your hand.
Mould
Air the room after showering and squeegee the wall and floor. Have silicone joints with cracks or mould renewed.
Waterproofing
A tiled walk-in shower belongs to the highest moisture class, W4. The tiler does the waterproofing, for example with the DITRA mat. For balconies and terraces there is the DITRA Drain mat.
Cleaning
Clean porcelain with a neutral cleaner. Cement grout tolerates only mild acids. Clean structured shower floors with a soft brush.

For the bathroom floor, R10 is a common choice. In the shower, the barefoot class counts too. Some manufacturers recommend R11 together with B there.
