Wall tiles need to be functional as well as attractive, and they have to respond to the specific requirements of these particular settings. Gyms and changing rooms require materials able to stand up to intense use and humidity, and the need to be extremely hygienic.
Resistant and easy to clean: discover porcelain stoneware for gyms and changing rooms
Reasons to choose porcelain stoneware for the gym: duration and style
Porcelain stoneware is considered one of the best materials for tiling the walls of gyms and changing rooms for a number of reasons.
Hard-wearing and durable
Porcelain stoneware is extremely resistant and durable, able to stand up impressively to continual footfall and the use of heavy equipment. This makes it ideal for busy places such as gyms.
Easy to clean and low-maintenance
Porcelain stoneware floors are easy to clean and low-maintenance. Resistant to detergents and non-absorbent, they make it easy to remove dirt, sweat and other impurities, a must in areas such as gyms and changing rooms, where hygiene is of prime importance.
Safe (anti-slip)
The surfaces of gyms and changing rooms need to be anti-slip for safety purposes. Porcelain stone offers good grip, reducing the risk of slipping and falls. There are specific variants of anti-slip tiles that are perfect for this purpose, guaranteeing safety without compromising on experience.
Style and design options
Available in a wide range of colours, textures and effects, porcelain stoneware is able to create pleasant, personalised settings, adapting effortlessly to all kinds of décor styles. The design options are virtually endless, allowing for a perfect combination of style and function.

Porcelain stoneware for gym décor: tips and design ideas
Gyms come in all shapes and sizes, from small home gyms to large commercial facilities with fitness and weights areas and rooms for group courses. Similarly, changing rooms can be found in gyms, swimming pools, sports facilities and schools, and each one requires particular attention when it comes to choosing materials, to guarantee safety, hygiene and durability.
For home gyms, wood-effect porcelain stoneware tiles are able to create an inviting, relaxing setting, ideal for yoga and for stretching areas. In commercial gyms, stone-effect floors bring a robust, professional look to weight training areas. The concrete effect is ideal for a modern, industrial look suitable for city gyms and fitness centres.
The variety of colours available offers plenty of opportunities to put your own personal stamp on settings: from pure white for a clean, modern look, to dark tones for a more intense, concentrated atmosphere. Large porcelain stoneware slabs can cover large surfaces with minimal joints, for a smoother appearance and easier cleaning. For example, in shower areas and changing rooms, anti-slip tiles can be used for safety, while in the through areas and fitness zones, polished tiles are both elegant and functional.
