Question 1

Can it be used on both floors and walls?

Always verify the specific slip rating for your intended application.

Question 2

How do honed and polished finishes differ in stone look subway tiles?

Yes, the low water absorption rate makes these porcelain subway tiles excellent for shower walls. The stone texture provides subtle grip, while the sealed surface prevents moisture penetration. Proper installation with waterproof backing ensures long-lasting performance in wet environments.
