Which tiles would you recommend for use in hard water areas?

Hard water contains a higher concentration of dissolved minerals in the water; for example, magnesium, calcium and potassium. When it evaporates from a surface, it leaves behind calcium and magnesium deposits commonly known as limescale. Those that live in hard water areas can experience the build-up of limescale much quicker than those in soft water areas. Most commonly, you’ll find hard water stains in the bathroom on glass, porcelain, tiles and metal surfaces.
