Modernist Ceramic Tiles FAQ
Are Modernist ceramic tiles suitable for kitchen backsplashes?
Absolutely. Modernist ceramic tiles are an excellent choice for kitchen backsplashes due to their non-porous surface that resists stains from cooking oils and food splatters. The glazed finish makes cleaning effortless – simply wipe with a damp cloth. We recommend our 10×20 cm or 5×25 cm formats for backsplash applications as they create clean, contemporary lines.
How do Modernist ceramic tiles compare to porcelain tiles?
While both are durable options, Modernist ceramic tiles offer several advantages for design-focused applications. They are typically lighter in weight (easier to install on walls), have more vibrant glaze colors, and showcase more authentic texture variations. The clay body also provides better thermal insulation than porcelain, making them more comfortable underfoot in residential settings.
Can Modernist ceramic tiles be used for bathroom flooring?
Yes, our Modernist ceramic tiles are specifically engineered for wet areas. The R10 slip resistance rating makes them safe for bathroom floors, while the low water absorption (<3%) prevents moisture penetration. For optimal safety, we recommend selecting our matte or textured finishes in bathrooms rather than high-gloss options. The freeze-thaw stability also makes them suitable for unheated bathroom spaces.
