Tile finishes affect more than appearance. Matte, glossy, satin and textured finishes each offer different benefits for lighting, maintenance and slip resistance. Choosing the right finish depends on where the tile will be installed and how the space is used.
A PEI rating is a durability scale that shows how well a glazed tile’s surface may resist abrasion from foot traffic. It runs from Class 0 to Class 5, where lower numbers generally suit walls and light use, and higher numbers are commonly considered fit for busy floors.
Matte and glossy describe a tile’s finish, not its material. Matte and textured finishes suit floors and wet or oily areas because they offer better traction; glossy finishes suit walls, backsplashes, and feature surfaces where brightness and design impact matter most.
