DIFFERENT TYPES OF TILES

Ceramic Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610
mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

Uses: commonly used for flooring, walls, worktops,

backsplashes, and bathrooms. Ceramic tile may be the only
flooring option that works in every area of the house. Ceramic
tiles have a firm, solid surface that will not collect or retain
dirt, dust, pollen, or other allergens

Properties: easy to install, lighter, less expensive long life

span, versatility use, high resistance to scratches and abrasion,
slip/skid resistance, color permanence

Porcelain Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610
mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

Uses: can be use in both wet and dry areas such as

bathrooms, showers, and kitchens.

Properties: difficult to install, heavier, more expensive long life

span, versatility use, high resistance to scratches and abrasion,
slip/skid resistance, color permanence.

Glass Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610
mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

on the kitchen backsplash and underside of the island; they
can be used on the walls to add a unique work of art; on an
outdoor patio

Properties: concrete resists to freezing cycles, it does

exfoliate, since it has low hygroscopicity comparing to the clay,
the weight of the concrete roof does not present variations,
therefore it will not influence, unexpectedly, the building`s
structure.

Marble Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610
mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

vanity tops and recesses in bathrooms. They work great in
kitchen splash backs and benchtops. They can even be used as
tabletops both indoors and outdoors. Moreover, of course,
they can be used for flooring in any area.

Properties: durability, lustre, porosity, acid resistance, heat

resistance, scratch resistance, fire resistance .

Mosaic Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610
mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

Uses: Typically used in smaller areas as an accent, mosaic tile

serves as the perfect complement to main design elements,
such as natural stone countertops or larger tile settings.

Properties: available in different materials, highly durable,

non-porous, easy to maintain, resistant to mold and stains,
available in multiple options, multiple applications, creates
elegant patterns, flexibility in design, environmentally friendly.
Granite Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610
mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

Uses: It can be use in almost any part of your house and

comes in both honed, matte slabs, as well as brushed, shiny
tiles. Granite Flooring gives an atmosphere of wealth, and its
beauty surpasses most other tile materials

Properties: hardest stone, vulnerable to acidic substance,

scratch resistance, heat resistance, porous, slip resistance,
durability, and long life span.

Limestone Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610
mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

Uses: looks good wherever it is placed. The bathroom is a

popular room for natural stones, and when properly cared for,
limestone tiles look good in the kitchen, too. People also use
them for outdoor spaces and walking paths and achieve
astounding results.

Properties: durability, cost-effective, versatile, clean and easy

to maintain, affordability, appearance and texture.

Travertine Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610
mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

mm, 800*800 mm, 250*350 mm and 350*450 mm.

Uses: used less often as a wall finish and is occasionally used

for countertops, although the wide grout joints can make
cleaning of countertops difficult. Most commercial kitchens
require a quarry tile to be used because of its slip resistant and
non-porous properties.

Properties: typically harder than ordinary clay bricks, due to

the minerals used and the high firing temperatures. Unlike clay
terracotta, quarry tiles are not porous and will resist water;
and unlike ceramic tile and porcelain, quarry tile does not have
a surface glaze layer.

Metal Tile
Sizes: 300*300 mm, 300*600 mm, 600*600 mm, 610*610

Uses: they are durable and resistant to high temperatures,

moisture and food stains, making them ideal to use as a
kitchen splash back. In addition to splash backs, metallic tiles
are suitable for walls, bathrooms and even ceilings.

Properties: durable, long lasting and lighter than fired

ceramics or concrete roof tiles but subject to internal
corrosion and could dissipate heat.

Resin Tile
