I agree with Pjt. In Mexico we also say "loza", "loseta" or just "piso".

Oh. Now I'm thinking baldosas are more likely to be very durable like stone flooring and lozas are thinner perhaps made of vinyl.

"Loza" can never be vinyl, linoleum or any synthetic material. It's some sort of clay; that's why it's also the same name for the tableware.
![]() And although "loseta" is not a material, but a close synonym to baldosa. We use that for smaller or slender clay tiles. Synthetic materials are usually "piso". Personally, I have never heard "baldosa de linóleo", but Google says it's not so uncommon. ![]() - Para instalar el piso de linóleo, contrate a un profesional. - No pases por ahí, las lozas están mojadas. - Quiero ponerle piso de loseta a la cochera. - El patio tiene unas baldosas de concreto muy resistentes.
