Green floor tiles are of two types.

• Tile. This coating is quite durable. It is made of a mixture of clay, sand and special additives by firing, covered with a layer of glaze on top. Suitable for rooms where there is a large influx of people.

Floor tiles of green, whatever type it may be, may have a glossy shine or be matte. In this case, glossy tiles usually have a brighter coating, it is easier to wash. But this type has a drawback - such a coating is more slippery than a material with a matte glaze. The matte tile perfectly protects you from falling on a wet floor, but washing it from dirt is quite problematic.

Different manufacturers of green floor tiles produce samples of various parameters. Here you can find both rectangular, square, and elements of fantasy shape. The most common size of this cover is 33x33 cm. This is an average size that is suitable for stacking in small rooms such as a pantry or bathroom, or in larger rooms.
