Elevation Tiles

Front elevation tiles can give the exterior of your home an elegant look. Crafted using the latest technology, elevation tiles are made using ceramic material that ensures the tile’s durability.

Elevation tiles need to possess the ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures and the onslaught of rain and snow. The elevation tiles manufactured by Orientbell Tiles are capable of bearing anything the weather will throw at them, all without causing any damage to the wall beneath. This, in turn, protects your home from water and other weather-related damage.

The elevation tiles are available in a plethora of designs, patterns, and colours. Stone look, brick look, and wood-look are the three most commonly used designs and patterns as they mimic natural material to give the exterior a homely feel. These tiles are available in three finishes – glossy, matte, and super glossy finishes and in a variety of colours, with the most popular ones being, white, grey, brown, blue, beige, black and cream. Glossy finished tiles give a shining and smooth effect, while matte finished tiles give a rustic and subtle touch.

The use of elevation tiles is not limited to the outdoors, and they can be deployed in a variety of indoor spaces like bedrooms, living rooms, restaurants, and even accent walls.

While planning the interior of our homes, we often tend to ignore the exterior. However, this could prove a mistake as the exterior is the first space a guest sees. Exterior is, thus, vital for a great first impression. Elevation tiles are excellent for decorating the exterior areas of your residential or commercial spaces and come with the added benefit of protecting your walls (and your interiors) from weather-related damage. With this clarity on their importance, here are some points to keep in mind while choosing the front elevation tiles:

1. Ensure that the colour and pattern of your tiles match the outside of the building. For instance, if your building is painted pink, avoid opting for orange elevation tiles.
2. While the texture of the surface matters less, keep in mind that matte finished tiles have a rough surface and indents where dust and grime can gather.
3. Opt for larger tiles to give the exterior a fascinating and spacious look.
4. Stone look tiles can give your space a contemporary touch with a timeless appeal, brick look tiles can bring a rustic, old-world charm, while wood look tiles can give the space a natural vibe. Whatever aesthetic you want for your space, keep that in mind when you select the tiles.

Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about elevation tiles.

What are the elevation tiles?

To put it simply, elevation tiles are the tiles that you can use to give your walls a touch of style and class. They can be used both indoors as well as outdoors. Highly durable and strong, these tiles are known for lasting for a pretty long time. Printed with a high-quality digital imprint, the prints on these tiles remain unaffected despite exposure to harsh elements. These tiles are water and weather-resistant, saving your walls and interiors from weather-related damage.

How to install elevation tiles?

The process of installing an elevation tile is a four-step process that is similar to the standard procedure for installing any tile.

Step 1: Planning and Marking

The layout of the tiles is planned, and the wall is then marked in order to achieve perfect alignment.

Step 2: Preparation of the surface

The surface is then prepared for the tile installation, and a suitable adhesive is chosen based on the location of tile installation. For example, cement-based adhesives are used for damp areas such as the exteriors, while premixed mastic adhesives are used for dry locations like bedrooms.

Step 3: Laying of tiles

The tiles are then laid according to the marked pattern and lightly hit with a rubber hammer to ensure the tile stays. Spacers are placed between the tiles to ensure that the tiles are placed at the same distance. This step may also include cutting tiles to make them fit into the area perfectly, depending on the size and shape of your space and the size of the tiles.

Step 4: Application of grout

Once the adhesive has dried, the spacers should be removed and grout should be applied. Clean the tile 30 minutes after grouting.

Which is better for the exterior walls - elevation tiles, natural stone slabs, or paint?

Paint is a great option for exteriors. However, it tends to crack, flake, and peel over time due to constant exposure to the sun and rain. Moreover, most paints fail to provide you with waterproof protection.

Natural stone slabs are magnificent and can give your space a luxurious feel. Yet, their similarity to natural paints is evident, as they absorb water, score low on durability, and require regular maintenance.

Elevation tiles, on the other hand, are super durable, easy to clean, and water-resistant. They barely require any maintenance and withstand extreme weather conditions to protect your walls and indoors from weather-related damage.

These physical attributes make elevation tiles the best choice for your exterior walls.

While selecting tiles, the ability to visualise how the tiles will look once installed in your space is a great advantage. Sensing the need for a visualiser tool, Orientbell Tiles has launched TriaLook, which is a visualiser tool that allows you to upload a picture of your space and take a look at how your space will look with the tiles fitted. You can find this tool on the Orientbell Tiles website and can use it on your laptop as well as your smartphone.
