im looking at this particular porcelain tile. They are very expensive, so wondering if anyone who has porcelain tiles in the hallway, any regrets?

Here’s the picture. Are they easily being cracked?

Check how slippery they are when wet. My neighbour smashed her arm in several places slipping over on porcelain floor tiles in her hallway when her shoes were wet.

I installed porcelain tiles in a high-traffic area and found them to be a great choice because they are easy to clean, resist scratches, and handle daily wear really well. The only things to consider are that they can feel cold underfoot and need proper installation on a level surface. With the right quality tile and finish, they are a durable flooring option that can last for years.

I’ve just had them in a bathroom. They’re very, very durable, I understand from a variety of sources. That’s why people use them. I’d use them again, anywhere frankly.

Tiles have R ratings for safety (slipperiness). Check on the back or with the tile supplier what their rating is.

Gemini just told me they are rated R11. Look into what that means.

That’s a beautiful tile. We have giant 1 metre square porcelain tiles throughout the ground floor and we have never had one crack. Worth every penny as the house was transformed with them.
