Bathrooms are where water, soap and smooth surfaces meet—perfect recipe for slipping. Glossy, very smooth tiles may look premium, but when wet, they can turn into skating rinks.
Tiles with a slight grip or matte texture give your feet more friction. You can still clean them easily, but they’re less likely to send you sliding if a bit of shampoo water reaches the floor. For elders and kids especially, this makes a big difference.
You don’t need extremely rough industrial tiles, just a sensible middle ground where you feel stable even with damp feet.
