Check to see
whether it's a wall or floor tile. Wall
tiles tend to be thinner, are not meant to withstand the weight, and can be
slippery. Tile can be slippery when wet,
so look for levels of grip, as indicated on the box as the coefficient of
friction or COF. For residential use,
look for a COF of at least .50; for commercial, .60. Also, check the tile's
porosity, waterproof capabilities, and whether it can be used indoors or out,
or both. Impervious is the most
waterproof; then comes semi-vitreous, non-vitreous, and vitreous.
