24×24 Calacatta Blue tile comes with a polished finish.
Polished finish and shiny finish are not the only two different words to describe the glossy look. In fact, these words refer to two different finishes that result in a similar visual appearance. Whereas a polished finish is the result of a mechanical polishing process of the matte glaze, the word shiny refers to a glossy glaze. While that may be confusing, to clarify, that’s the glaze that we see in ceramic products such as kitchen plates and coffee mugs. The shiny glaze on tiles is infamous for being slippery. Therefore, we recommend polished tiles, as they offer better shine compared to glossy tiles. Whereas polished porcelain tiles offer a solid shine like real marble, glossy tiles’ shine ripples and is often called “orange peel.”

Where to Use This Tile, and How Tile Finishes Work
Standard matte, satin, and polished finishes usually have similar slip-resistance levels unless the tile is specifically rated as an In & Out or Grip finish.
For pool areas, a Grip finish is preferred. For outdoor areas that may get wet, an In & Out finish is usually the better choice. However, any wet surface can become slippery depending on the angle, speed, amount of water, and how the area is used, so caution is always required.
A DCOF rating above 0.42 is considered the beginning level of slip resistance. Tiles with more surface friction usually attract more dirt and dust, which is why they are generally preferred for outdoor areas.
