floor tiles
Kitchen surface pieces
Floor tiles are flat, rigid pieces of material—ceramic, porcelain, stone, vinyl, or other substances—designed to cover floor surfaces.
They're laid in patterns and secured with adhesive or mortar: We chose slate floor tiles for the entryway.
The term distinguishes them from wall tiles, which are typically thinner and not rated for foot traffic.
