The main purpose of study was to provide a common synergy using Ag + ‐doped calcium phosphate powder and high‐temperature‐stable TiO 2 for antibacterial and photocatalytic tile applications. Thermally stable SiO 2 ‐modified TiO 2 active layer was deposited on Ag + ‐activated ceramic tiles by spray coating. The results showed that a nearly 100% cleanability degree was detected for SiO 2 ‐modified TiO 2 ( TS )‐coated antibacterial tiles when compared uncoated and unmodified TiO 2 ‐coated tiles. Antibacterial tests and colorimetric analyses indicated that ceramic tiles provide both antibacterial and photocatalytic properties simultaneously.
