Water resistant: Bathroom tiles must display excellent resilience towards water and moisture because they have to brave gallons of water every day. Finding waterproof slabs is not a difficult task as most of slabs available in the market have impressive water resistant feature. What is important is to make the entire bathroom waterproof. You should know that slabs require grouting. Grout is filler and it can't withstand water or moisture. Installing good quality waterproof flooring in your bathroom is not enough as you need to make the grout lines waterproof too. To prevent the grout lines from giving way to water, you need to seal the entire tiled floor.

Stagnant water can break the sealing and bring out the grout lines. Also a moist floor can become a perfect breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Before it happens to your bathroom floor, you need to take precautionary measure. Make sure that your bath remains dry and free from moisture.
