The biggest consideration with penny round tile is the installation. If they aren’t installed properly or by a professional, they can look very messy and uneven, and be uncomfortable underfoot. Improper installation can lead to a poor end result so always seek help from a professional.

Many people assume that any penny round can be used as a shower floor, but be sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendations. Glazed options should be reserved for wall use only.
