Can I use scratch-free tiles in bathrooms?

Yes, provided you select a vitrified base version with water absorption below 0.5%, and a matte or textured finish with R11 slip resistance or higher. Avoid lappato or polished finishes on wet bathroom floor tiles.

What is the difference between scratch-resistant and scratch-proof?

Scratch-resistant means the surface resists everyday abrasion better than standard tiles. Scratch-proof implies near-total immunity to scratching. In practice, high-quality Forever Tiles resist 99% of daily household abrasion including metal chairs and pet nails, but dragging items harder than Mohs 8 can still leave marks. No ceramic or vitrified tile is truly immune to all sharp impacts.

Are scratch-free tiles suitable under heavy furniture?

Yes the abrasion-resistant glaze handles static load from heavy furniture without marking. The risk is not the weight itself but the dragging motion when furniture is moved. Always use felt pads under furniture legs for additional protection.

What grout should I use with scratch-free large-format tiles?

Use Epoxy Grout or a flexible polymer-modified grout for large format scratch-free tiles. Standard cement grout is prone to cracking with 600×1200 mm and larger formats due to thermal movement and slight tile flexion. Epoxy Grout also resists staining and is easier to clean over time.
