Product Specifications & Quality

What is the difference between Vitrified (GVT) and Ceramic tiles?
Vitrified tiles (GVT) have a glaze coating and are baked at high temperatures, making them stronger, shinier, and more durable, which is ideal for flooring. Vitrified tiles are far less water absorbent than ceramic tiles, with a absorption rate of less than 0.5% (sometimes <0.08%).
Will the tile color or shine fade over time?
No, our premium tiles are baked at high temperatures to ensure the color and finish remain exactly as you see them. Prolonged exposure to sunlight, particularly near windows or in outdoor areas, can break down the pigments in tiles “UV Light Exposure: Prolonged exposure to sunlight, particularly near windows or in outdoor areas, can break down the pigments in tiles, leading to a washed-out or, for dark tiles, a lighter appearance.”
Do you have tiles suitable for curved surfaces or pillars?
Yes, we offer Flexi Tiles (typically in 2x4 size). These are flexible, bendable tiles that can mold 360 degrees around pillars and curved walls, eliminating the need for cutting traditional tiles.
Which finish should I choose for bedrooms vs. bathrooms?
For bedrooms and living areas, Glossy or Carving finishes are recommended for an elegant look. For bathrooms and kitchens, we strongly suggest Anti-Skid tiles (Matte finish) to prevent slipping in wet areas.
What tile should I use for my kitchen slab/countertop?
We recommend Granalt tiles tiles (2.5x8 ft or 800x2400mm). These are 15mm thick, heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and a stronger alternative to granite that does not require polishing.
Which tiles are best for bathrooms and wet areas?
We strongly suggest Anti-Skid tiles (Matte finish) for bathroom floors to prevent slipping. These tiles have a rougher surface for better grip,,. For walls, you can use a combination of light, dark, and highlighter tiles.
Which tiles are best for kitchen? Also let me know the trending & latest kitchen tiles.

What is "Carving" finish?
Carving tiles have a satin matte base, but the veins/lines in the design have a glossy coating. When light hits the tile, only the veins shine, giving it a premium, textured look.

Installation & Maintenance

Should I install tiles using cement or adhesive?
We highly recommend using Masterbond Adhesive. Unlike cement, adhesive is more stronger, waterproof, and prevents tiles from cracking, debonding, or absorbing moisture. It increases the longevity of your flooring.

A 20kg bag of Masterbond adhesive typically covers an area of approximately 25 to 30 square feet or depends on mason usage.
