Are waterproof tiles essential for our bathroom? Page: 2

Hi
We are choosing wall tiles to redecorate our bathroom. We have found some tiles in Wickes that are displayed in a typical bathroom layout and are specified for bathroom use excluding wet rooms.
Our bathroom is very small and we get a lot of condensation, the shower is wall mounted and flows into a bath. As the tiles are not specified as waterproof, do you think this will be a problem?
Thanks miked

Thanks for your advice, as we get a lot of condensation in our bathroom we have decided to purchase waterproof tiles instead.

Porcelain is what you want.

I wouldn’t fit any ceramic tile on a wet room floor.

The tiles are for the walls only, we will be fitting a lino floor covering. Sorry I should have made that clearer.

These are specified for bathroom and kitchen use;

But it still says 'excluding wet rooms'
