Are High Gloss Floor Tiles Slippery?
Andrew Davis
Some high-gloss floor tiles, especially in wet areas like bathrooms, can be dangerous to walk on. Choosing non-slip gloss floor tiles, on the other hand, will ensure your family’s safety while still giving your house a luxurious look.

Polished tiles are often feared for their slickness, but tests have shown that they are no more or no less slippery than matt tiles.
Which tiles are better glossy or matte floor?
Matt tiles, despite their lack of sparkle and shine, are easier to grip than gloss tiles. When it comes to high-volume areas where water, humidity, and steam are a constant presence, matt tiles offer a more ‘non-slip’ reputation. Matt tiles can be used in hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Which floor tiles are not slippery?
Slip resistance is a strong suit for natural stone, quarry tile, and brick because of their high coefficients of friction (COF). One of the lowest COF-rated floor tiles is honed natural stone, which is as slippery as glass.
Do high gloss floor tiles scratch easily?
Scratches are more noticeable on glossy ceramic tiles. Generally speaking, tiles with a glossy finish are less scratch-resistant than those with a matte finish.
