Grout fills the joints between tiles and plays a part in both appearance and long-term maintenance. The two most commonly referenced families are cementitious grout (sanded and unsanded) and epoxy grout, each with different practical trade-offs.

Rectified tiles are tiles whose edges have been mechanically ground after firing so that each piece shares very consistent dimensions and straight edges. This is commonly associated with a clean, modern look and the option of narrower grout joints, and it is often seen on porcelain tiles, large format tiles, and big tiles.

Anti-slip tiles are compared using different slip resistance references, including DIN R-ratings and Wet Pendulum P-ratings. DIN R-ratings are mainly used for areas where footwear is worn, while Pendulum ratings are widely used internationally for wet slip resistance assessment.
