Yes. Many Morbi wall concepts include a matching floor tile, and some porcelain ranges are made to work on both walls and floors. Factories show these sets in room photos with the wall and floor together.
The catch is that floor and wall tiles are usually made on different lines, and sometimes in different plants. The match may be in design and colour, not an exact copy. Check it on physical samples before you order.
Three kinds of matching set
- Wall concept with a matching floor tile: ceramic wall tiles with a floor tile in a related design, often on a different body and in a different size.
- Same design on wall and floor bodies: one design file printed on a ceramic wall tile and on a vitrified floor tile.
- One porcelain tile for both: a single vitrified tile used on the floor and the wall, which gives the closest match.
The basic concept structure is explained in kitchen and bathroom wall tile concepts.
Why the match is not always exact
A design printed on two different bodies can look different after firing. The ceramic wall body and the vitrified floor body take glaze and ink differently and fire at different temperatures. Colour depth, gloss and fine detail can all shift.
When the floor tile comes from a different plant, the risk grows. The wall factory may buy in the floor tile from another plant to complete the set. Ask directly which plant makes each piece.
What to check
- Which plant and which line make the wall and the floor tiles.
- Physical samples of both, from current production, laid next to each other.
- The finish of each, since a gloss wall and a matt floor can look like different colours.
- The floor tile's own specification: abrasion class, slip resistance and body group.
- Whether a matching skirting is available for the floor tile.
Skirting options are covered in floor tiles with matching skirting.
Ordering a set
Order wall and floor tiles for a set in the same shipment where you can, so that both come from the current batch. If the floor tile comes from another plant, the container may need to be loaded at two locations, or one supplier will consolidate. Our guide on mixing sizes and designs in one tile container explains the limits.
Write the design code, batch and shade of each piece in the purchase order, and approve a laid-out panel of wall and floor together before loading.
Think about reorders too. A customer who later needs more floor tiles will want the same match with the walls already fixed. Keep spare stock of both pieces from the same batch, or warn customers to buy enough at the start.
Next step
We confirm which plant makes each piece, compare wall and floor samples together and check both at loading. To build a matched range, book a free sourcing review.
