      FAQs

      • 1. What types of finishes are used in elevation tiles?
        • Elevation tiles come with glossy and matte finishes. The glossy finish is popular for the elegant sheen it provides to the tile surface. On the other hand, the matte finish gives a subtle and more natural touch to the tile design. Both finishes are unique in their own ways and add value to the tiles. You can choose the finish that intuitively appeals to you.
      • 2. What are the sizes available in elevation tiles?
        • These high-depth punch tiles are available in two regular sizes: 300x600mm and 300x450mm. These elevation tiles can be used in commercial as well as residential areas. The sizes in which exterior tiles are available make them suitable for use on indoor walls as well.
      • 3. Where can we install elevation tiles?
        • Although elevation tiles are popular for their usage on exterior walls, these tiles can be installed in indoor areas as well. You can use these tiles on accent walls, feature walls, staircases, lobby areas, living room walls or kitchen backsplashes. Most importantly, these tiles absorb very less water and can withstand harsh climatic conditions too.

          On higher floors you must insist that the right adhesive is used for installation. This ensures a much higher safety. Feel free to reach out to us for expert assistance.

      • 4. What are the properties of exterior elevation tiles?
        • Exterior tiles or elevation tiles are easy to clean. The wider grooves on these tiles make the cleaning easier. Also, these tiles are baked in a kiln in temperatures over 10000C, and hence have a low water absorption rate - which makes them less affected by rain and dew. Therefore, these tiles can be used on the house elevation without any worries of damage from the elements.
      • 5. Can we clean elevation tiles easily?
        • Elevation tiles come in a finish that makes it very easy to clean. The wider grooves on these tiles make the cleaning easier. One sweep with a wet cloth and it will look as good as new. So definitely, elevation tiles are easy to clean and maintain.
      • 6. Which size is the best?
        • Seen from a distance, elevation tiles are such that their size does not matter. Hence, you can take a call on which size tiles are best. The most popular size that is easy to install is the 300 X 450mm tiles. However if you have a large area then you can choose to go for larger tiles.
      • 7. Can we use elevation tiles in our living room?
        • Absolutely! Elevation tiles can be used for both your indoors and outdoors. The 300 X 450mm tiles come in various designs and colours that are versatile for your indoor spaces.
      • 8. What size of tiles should we use on the external pillars?
        • Our 300 X 450mm elevation tiles cover the standard pillar tile wall. One tile covers the width of a standard pillar in the buildings so this size is perfect for your external pillars.
      • 9. What type tile strongest?
        • a. Which tiles last the longest?

          Tiles made of materials such as porcelain, ceramic, natural stone (like granite or marble), or glass tend to last the longest. These materials are durable and resistant to wear and tear, which makes them ideal for high-traffic areas such as floors or walls. Additionally, tiles that are properly installed and maintained can last for decades or even longer.

        • b. Does porcelain tile crack easily?

          Porcelain tiles, known for their durability and resistance to cracking, makes them a popular choice for flooring, walls, and other surfaces. While it's still possible for porcelain tiles to crack under certain circumstances, they are generally considered to be a highly durable and long-lasting option. Proper installation and maintenance can also help prevent cracking and prolong the life of porcelain tiles.

        • c. Which brand tile best?

          Some of the top tile brands include Orientbell Tiles, Kajaria, Nitco, Somany Ceramics among others. Ultimately, the best tile brand for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences, as well as your budget. It's important to do your research, read reviews, and compare prices to find the tile brand that best suits your needs.

        • d. Which is better-tiles or concrete floor?

          Concrete is strong, resilient, and when cleaned, can have a seamless, shiny surface. However, it is prone to moisture and if water gets suspended beneath the surface, it may eventually grow mould and mildew. Conversely, tile surfaces are more easily cleaned than concrete and are just as strong and long-lasting. Tiles are also waterproof, whereas concrete can be stained from spills if it isn't cleared up right away. Also, tiles are much more affordable than concrete floors.

        • e. Which is the better porcelain tile?

          It is difficult to choose a particular porcelain tile because it relies on a number of variables, including the intended use, the location, and personal taste. However, porcelain tiles have some general benefits over ceramic tiles, such as increased durability, density, and reduced water absorption. To choose the best kind of tile for one’s work, it is advised that you consult about your requirements with a tile expert or contractor.

        • f. What tile is most waterproof?

          Porcelain tiles are more waterproof compared to other types of tiles because they are renowned for having a low water absorption rate. Porcelain tiles have a water uptake rate of 0.5 percent or less, according to ASTM C373 standards developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Porcelain tiles are therefore perfect for moist areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.

      • 10. Which Tile Is Best For Waterproofing?
        • a. What kind of tile lasts the longest?

          Some of the most popular tiles that are durable and last-longer include porcelain tiles, concrete tiles, slate tiles, and clay tiles. It is crucial to remember that a tile's lifespan is largely influenced by variables like upkeep, installation, and usage. To select the best kind of tile for your unique needs and be sure that it is installed correctly to maximise its lifespan, it is advised that you speak with a professional.

        • b. Which tile is scratch resistant?

          The most scratch-resistant types of tiles are commonly considered to be ceramic and porcelain. These tiles are manufactured from hard, durable clay which has been heated, making them impervious to cracks and scratches from foot traffic. Porcelain tiles are also known for being dense, which increases their resistance to cracks and damage.

        • c. Which tiles absorb water?

          Porous tiles, such as ceramic, terracotta, and natural stone tiles, have the ability to absorb water to varying degrees. Non-porous tiles, such as glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles, do not absorb water.

        • d. What kind tile not slippery when wet?

          When wet, Ceramic and Porcelain tiles with a textured surface are commonly considered to be less slippery than smooth, glossy tiles. Furthermore, tiles with a matte or polished surface might offer more traction than tiles with a glossy finish. Additionally, it is possible to find tiles made especially to be non-slip, which can offer even more resistance in wet areas.

        • e. Can tiles prevent water leakage?

          Yes, tiles can prevent water leakage if they are installed correctly and with the proper materials. Waterproofing layers and sealants should be used to ensure that the tiles do not allow water to pass through to the underlying surface. However, it is important to note that tiles alone may not be enough to completely prevent water leakage in all cases, as other factors such as the condition of the underlying surface and the quality of the installation can also play a role.

        • f. What are the disadvantages of tiles?

          Tiles can have several disadvantages depending on the context of their use. For example, glossy tiles can be slippery when wet, increasing the risk of falls and accidents. Additionally, grout lines can become discoloured and dirty over time, requiring frequent cleaning and maintenance. Tiles can also crack or chip, which can be costly and difficult to repair, particularly if the tiles are installed on a large area. Finally, tiles can be relatively expensive, especially if they are made from high-quality materials or if they require professional installation.

        • g. Which tile is better matte or glossy?

          Matte tiles have a non-glossy finish, they usually offer greater slip resistance for floor areas. Additionally, they typically hide stains and scuffs better than glossy surfaces. Glossy tiles, on the other hand, have a reflective surface that reflects light, thus making them ideal for walls and accent spaces. They usually require less cleaning effort than matte tiles because of their smooth surface. Ultimately, a person's personal taste and the tile's intended use will determine whether to use glossy or matte tiles.

      • 11. Which Tiles Are Not Slippery?
        • a. Which tile material is most durable?

          The most durable tile materials are ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are made from clay fired at high temperatures, making them highly resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks. They are also waterproof, which makes them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Natural stone, such as granite, marble, and slate, are highly durable and can last a lifetime with proper maintenance.

        • b. What is the easiest tile to maintain?

          Polished ceramic and porcelain tiles are among the easiest tiles to maintain and clean. They are impervious to stains and dampness because they have a smooth texture and are less porous. Also, larger tiles with minimal grout lines are suggested as they are simpler to clean and maintain. Vinyl tiles, glass tiles, and polished natural stone tiles are also considered to be simple to maintain and clean.

        • c. What are slip-resistance tiles?

          Slip-resistant tiles are made to offer better traction and lower the chance of sliding and falling, especially in wet and humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Their higher friction coefficients and frequently textured surfaces help to improve their slip resistance. The slip rating of these tiles usually indicates how resistant they are to slipping.

        • d. What type of tile stays coolest?

          There are several types of tiles that are known to stay cooler than others. Ceramic tiles, particularly those that are light in colour, tend to be more reflective and absorb less heat from the sun. Porcelain tiles are also known for their coolness and durability, making them a popular choice for outdoor areas. Natural stone tiles, such as marble and granite, can provide a cool surface but may require more maintenance and upkeep.

        • e. How do make my tiles not slippery?

          You can add grip with non-slip coverings or rugs, use an anti-slip solution, place grab bars, keep the floor dry and clean, or think about re-tiling with slip-resistant tiles to make your tiles less slippery.

        • f. Why are my tiles suddenly slippery?

          Tile floors may suddenly become slippery for a number of reasons, including moisture, grease, dust, or soap residue left on the tiles' surface. Sometimes the texture or state of the ceramic surface itself can make it slippery. Regular and thorough cleaning can help avoid slickness, and adding a grip or installing non-slip mats, grip bars, or tiles can also be good options.

        • g. What is the best tile for the floor?

          Porcelain tile, glazed ceramic tile, and concrete tile are some of the most well-liked and long-lasting choices for floor tiles. These tiles are renowned for their sturdiness and water resistance, making them perfect for areas with a lot of foot activity or are prone to moisture. Additionally, porcelain and ceramic tiles, made of clay, are simple to clean and keep. However, in the end, personal tastes and requirements would determine the ideal floor tile.

        • h. What tile looks the cleanest?

          It is difficult to determine which tile looks the cleanest as it depends on various factors such as the colour of the tile, the material it is made of, the lighting in the room, and how well it has been cleaned. However, generally, tiles with a lighter colour and a smooth surface tend to show dirt and stains more clearly, making it easier to spot any areas that need cleaning.

        • i. What kind of flooring is best for the elderly?

          Porcelain or ceramic tile flooring with a textured or non-slip finish is best for the elderly, as it provides better traction and reduces the risk of slipping and falling. Additionally, larger tiles with minimal grout lines are easier to clean and maintain, making them more suitable for elderly individuals who may have difficulty with cleaning and upkeep.

      • 12. Which Tiles Do Not Absorb Water?
        • a. Can water leak through tiles?

          Yes, water can leak through tiles, especially if there are cracks or gaps between the tiles or if the grout is damaged. Even though ceramic or porcelain tile is water-resistant, water can seep through the grout, damage the underlying structure, or cause mould growth. It is essential to properly maintain the grout and repair any damaged areas to prevent water leaks. If leaks are left unaddressed, they can also cause damage to walls, ceilings or floors.

        • b. Which type of tile is best for high moisture and high traffic areas?

          Porcelain tile is generally considered to be the best type of tile for high moisture and high-traffic areas. It is highly durable, water-resistant, and can withstand heavy foot traffic without wearing down quickly. Additionally, porcelain tile is available in a variety of finishes and styles, making it easy to find an option that suits your design preferences.

        • c. What happens if water gets under your tiles?

          Water under tiles can lead to a number of problems, including mould development, subfloor damage, and the mortar holding the tiles firmly in place becoming loose or deteriorated. Additionally, too much moisture can make the tiles rise off the floor or turn them discoloured or stained. It's crucial to choose a tile that is water-resistant and suitable for locations with high moisture levels, like ceramic or luxury vinyl tile, to avoid these problems.

        • d. What is a water-resistant tile?

          A water-resistant tile is a type of tile that has been designed to resist water penetration and is typically used in areas where water exposure is common, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. Water-resistant tiles are usually made from materials that are non-porous and have a low absorption rate, such as porcelain or ceramic, which makes them resistant to water damage and staining.

        • e. Do cement tiles absorb water?

          Cement tiles' capacity to absorb water varies based on their specific type and production process. However, compared to cement tiles, other kinds of tiles such as porcelain and ceramic tiles are generally dense and have less water absorption. According to some sources, concrete tiles can absorb water at a rate of roughly 13%, though this can differ.

        • f. Which tile is more waterproof?

          Porcelain tile is generally more waterproof. This is because porcelain is denser and less porous, making it less likely to absorb water and more resistant to stains and damage from moisture. However, it's important to note that even porcelain tile can become damaged by excessive moisture or water exposure, so it's still important to take proper precautions and care when using it in areas prone to water, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

        • g. What are waterproof tiles?

          Waterproof tiles are a particular kind of tile that is used to avoid water damage and the development of mould. They are frequently used in moist environments like restrooms, kitchens, or other high-moisture spaces. Compared to regular ceramic tiles, waterproof tiles are usually made of materials which are less porous and retain less water.

        • h. How can it be waterproof without removing the tile?

          There are several methods for producing waterproofing over pre-existing tiles, including the use of adhesive PVC tiles and the application of a waterproof membrane. To avoid water damage, these choices might not offer a completely waterproof solution and might need to be installed properly. Before trying to waterproof over already-installed tiles, it is crucial to seek advice from an expert and take into account the unique circumstances.

      • 13. Which Material Is Best For Front Elevation?
        • a. What is the cost of the front elevation design?

          The cost of front elevation design can vary depending on a number of factors such as the complexity of the design, the size of the building, the materials used, and the location of the project. Therefore, it is difficult to provide a short answer without more information. A front elevation design typically ranges from 30 to 80 thousand rupees. It is best to consult with a professional designer or architect to get an accurate estimate for your specific project.

        • b. How do architects design elevation?

          Using CAD software or more conventional pen-and-paper techniques, architects create elevations, which are drawings of a building's façade. The aesthetic style, planned purpose, and context of the building are all taken into consideration in the elevation design. They might also apply design principles to produce a sense of cohesion and harmony.

        • c. What is the designer's elevation?

          Designers typically design the elevation style by considering various factors such as the project's purpose, the client's preferences, building materials, and local building codes. They may use sketches, computer-aided design (CAD) software, or physical models to visualise and refine the elevation style. The final design will aim to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and functional building facade that reflects the desired style, incorporates key design elements, and complements the surrounding environment.

        • d. How do you make an excellent elevation?

          When creating an excellent elevation drawing, an architect must consider elements like the general architectural style of the building, the structure's intended use, and the nearby area. The elevation may include components like cast reflections to give the image a sense of depth and should use design concepts to bring together a feeling of unity and harmony. Line continuity and meticulousness are also crucial. The sketch should be made using either CAD software or the more conventional pen-and-paper techniques.

        • e. What is the cost of elevation style?

          The cost of designing an elevation style can vary greatly depending on various factors such as the complexity of the design, the size of the project, the expertise of the designer, and the region where the project is being executed. Generally, the cost of hiring a professional designer to create an elevation style for a residential or commercial property can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands.

      • 14. What thickness is best?
        • a. Are bigger or smaller tiles better?

          It depends on the specific application and the desired aesthetic. Smaller tiles are often better for intricate designs and can provide a more detailed look, while larger tiles can create a more streamlined and contemporary appearance. Larger tiles may also be easier and quicker to install since they cover more area with fewer individual pieces.

        • b. What is a good size for a tile?

          The space you're tiling and the aesthetic you want to achieve will determine the best tile size. A space can look bigger with larger tiles that are at least 12 to 18 inches wide or long, while corners or spaces with complex patterns may benefit from smaller tiles. Depending on the purpose and aesthetic of the space, tile sizes can vary from 2 inches to 18 inches for specific areas like kitchen countertops or living room floors.

        • c. How can you tell suitable tiles?

          Suitable tiles can be determined based on factors such as the intended use, the size and shape of the area to be tiled, the desired style or aesthetic, and the durability and maintenance requirements of the tiles. It is important to consider these factors before selecting tiles to ensure they are suitable for the intended application.

        • d. What do you look for when buying tiles?

          When buying tiles, there are a number of things to consider, including the size and shape of the tiles, the material they're made from, the colour and design, the durability and resistance to wear and tear, as well as the price and installation requirements. Additionally, you may also consider the tile's suitability for the intended use, such as for walls or floors, and whether it complements the existing decor and style of the space.

        • e. Is thicker or thinner tile better?

          The thickness of a tile depends on its intended use and the specific needs of the project. Thicker tiles are generally more durable and can withstand heavier traffic and wear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as commercial spaces and outdoor areas. Thinner tiles, on the other hand, are lighter and easier to install, making them a good choice for walls and other vertical surfaces. Ultimately, the decision on whether to use a thicker or thinner tile should be based on the specific requirements of the project and the desired aesthetic outcome.

      • 15. Which Tile Is Slippery?
        • a. Are glossy tiles slippery?

          Yes, glossy tiles can be slippery, particularly when wet. The tile's shiny, smooth surface can make slipping and falling more likely, especially in wet environments like bathrooms and kitchens. When choosing tiles for space, safety must be taken into account even though they can be an appealing idea.

        • b. What colour tile shows less dirt?

          Darker-coloured tiles tend to conceal dirt more easily compared to lighter-coloured ones. However, compared to matte finish tiles, glossy finish tiles typically reveal less dirt. So you might think about a darker-coloured glossy finish tile if you want a tile that hides grime better. The location and planned use of the tile will ultimately determine the best tile colour to conceal dirt.

        • c. Which tile is water resistant?

          Tiles made of materials such as ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are typically water-resistant. These tiles have a low porosity, which means that they are less likely to absorb water and become damaged over time.

        • d. Which floor don't tiles show dirt?

          In contrast to lighter-coloured tiles with seamless, glossy finishes, matte-finish tiles with complex designs and darker colours typically tend to reveal less dirt. For maximum usefulness and durability, it's critical to select the right tile based on the location and intended use.

      • 16. What Kind Of Tile Is Trending?
