How it's used
Refers specifically to tiles used for flooring rather than wall tiles. It is common to describe them by their texture or material, such as using 跣 to describe a slippery surface. When renovating, people often discuss whether to use 地磚 or 木地板 for their home flooring.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 磚頭, which refers to a brick used for building walls or as a heavy object. Using 磚頭 to describe floor tiles sounds like you are paving your floor with construction bricks.
