Polished tiles find their most natural home on a wall, where the shine can do its work without the slip risk that comes with a shiny floor. Light bounces off the surface and deepens colour, giving marble and stone effect designs in particular a rich, almost liquid quality. Most tiles here are true wall tiles, made from a softer biscuit than a floor tile, built for vertical use rather than underfoot.
A polished wall works beautifully as a feature behind a bath or basin, or across a full bathroom wall where you want real drama without needing to worry about grip. Because the finish is so reflective, it also makes a small room feel bigger and brighter than a matte equivalent would. our designers at Baked Tiles can help you pair a polished wall with a safer, textured floor tile underneath.
