The Benefits of Slim Floor Tiles and Wall Tiles

Unlike regular tiles, which are typically around 11mm in thickness, slim floor tiles and wall tiles are only between 4-5mm in thickness. This makes them much lighter than regular tiles. Since they are lighter and hence much easier to handle and install, they make great wall tiles, which are more difficult to install compared to floor tiles.

Being much thinner than regular tiles, slim floor tiles can be installed on top of any flat surface floor covering. They are therefore ideal for rennovation purposes, especially since the cost of removal or demolition of existing floor coverings can be avoided.

Slim wall tiles can also be installed on top of existing wall coverings to create a completely new look, again without the costs of removing the existing covering, saving time and reducing the amount of noise and debris. Plus, being much thinner, means that slim wall tiles work well around door frames and can be applied on top of ventilated faces.

Slim tiles are also easy to cut, drill and handle, while still offering technical characteristics comparable to tiles of regular thickness. No special installation or maintenance is necessary and they are very easy to clean.

One of the greatest long term benefits of using slim floor tiles and wall tiles is the significant reduction in dead load on the building structure. Tiling with slim floor tiles and wall tiles reduces almost half the weight of conventional tiling, resulting in reduced structure cost.
 
Slim tiles are also more environmentally friendly since thousands of tonnes of raw materials are saved in manufacturing. Energy costs in firing the tile are also considerably lower. As they are thinner, more tiles can also be transported at a time, saving transportation and energy costs.
