Key Advantages

Slip Resistant

DCOF > 0.42 wet — matt tiles meet international safety standards for floor use in wet areas including bathrooms and kitchens.

Hides Footprints

The non-reflective surface does not show footprints, dust, or minor scratches — far more practical than polished tiles in daily use.

Natural Aesthetic

Matt finish gives tiles a natural, understated look that complements contemporary, Scandinavian, and industrial interior styles.

Low Maintenance

Regular sweeping and mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner is all that is needed — no special products or sealing required.

Commercial Grade

PEI 4–5 rating makes matt GVT tiles suitable for offices, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial floor applications.

Outdoor Suitable

Frost-resistant with adequate slip resistance — matt porcelain tiles are ideal for covered outdoor terraces and balconies.

Why Matt Tiles Are the Practical Choice for Floors

Matt tiles have become the dominant choice for floor applications in modern interior design, and the reasons are both aesthetic and practical. From a safety perspective, the textured, non-reflective surface of matt tiles provides significantly better slip resistance than glossy tiles — particularly important in wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces. Our matt porcelain tiles achieve a DCOF (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction) above 0.42 when wet, meeting international safety standards for floor use in wet areas.

From a maintenance perspective, matt tiles are far more forgiving than glossy tiles. The non-reflective surface does not show footprints, dust, or minor surface marks — meaning matt floors look clean for longer between mopping sessions. This is a significant practical advantage in busy households and commercial spaces.

Matt Tile Design Trends

The design versatility of matt tiles is unmatched. Our matt range includes concrete-look tiles that bring an industrial-chic aesthetic to modern interiors, stone-look tiles that replicate the natural texture of limestone and travertine, wood-look tiles in plank formats that combine the warmth of timber with the durability of porcelain, and solid colour matt tiles in a full spectrum from warm neutrals to bold statement colours.

Large-format matt tiles (600x1200mm and 800x1600mm) in concrete or stone-look designs are particularly popular in contemporary open-plan living spaces, where they create a seamless, expansive floor that flows from room to room without visual interruption.

Matt vs Glossy: Choosing the Right Finish

The choice between matt and glossy depends on the application and design intent. Choose matt when: slip resistance is a priority (floors, wet areas, outdoor), you want a low-maintenance surface that hides dust and footprints, you prefer a natural, understated aesthetic, or you are working with large-format tiles where gloss can highlight minor flatness variations. Choose glossy when: you want to maximise light reflection in a dark space, the application is primarily walls, you prefer a sleek, polished aesthetic, or easy cleaning of a smooth surface is the priority.

Buying & Installation Tips

Matt tiles are the safest choice for any floor area — always specify matt or rustic finish for wet floor areas.
For living rooms, a large-format matt tile (600×1200mm) creates a seamless, contemporary look.
Clean matt tiles with a pH-neutral cleaner — avoid acidic cleaners that can dull the matt glaze over time.
Matt tiles pair beautifully with glossy wall tiles — the contrast between floor and wall finishes adds visual depth.
For outdoor use, verify the tile has an R10 or R11 anti-slip rating for adequate grip in wet conditions.
Order 8% extra for straight lay, 12% extra for diagonal or herringbone patterns to account for cuts.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Matt tiles have a textured, non-reflective surface that provides significantly better slip resistance than glossy tiles. Our matt porcelain tiles achieve a DCOF above 0.42 when wet, meeting safety standards for floor use in bathrooms, kitchens, and other wet areas.

Matt tiles can be slightly more prone to staining than glossy tiles because the textured surface can trap dirt in micro-pores. However, our porcelain matt tiles have water absorption below 0.5%, making them highly stain-resistant. Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner prevents stain build-up.

Matt tiles require slightly more effort to deep-clean than glossy tiles because the textured surface can trap fine dirt. However, for day-to-day maintenance, matt tiles are actually easier to keep looking clean because they do not show footprints, water spots, or dust as visibly as glossy tiles.

Matt finish tiles have a smooth, non-reflective surface. Rustic finish tiles have a more pronounced texture that mimics natural stone or aged surfaces, with a slightly rougher feel underfoot. Both offer good slip resistance, but rustic tiles provide even higher grip due to their deeper texture.

Yes. Matt tiles work beautifully on walls, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens where a calm, spa-like aesthetic is desired. Large-format matt tiles on walls create a seamless, contemporary look. Our 300x600mm matt ceramic range is popular for bathroom wall applications.
