Buy Top-Quality Tiles for Your Construction

Why are Tiles Essential in Construction?

Provide an Even Surface

Tiles form an even surface over the rough, often jagged concrete slab surface. This enables the building to be walkable, functional and usable for different indoor and outdoor activities. 

Moisture Prevention

A properly tiled surface blocks the penetration of moisture into the underlying slabs (generally made of concrete) and walls (generally masonry structures). This helps prevent issues like leakage, seepage and mould formation, enhancing building safety and durability. 

Aesthetic Enhancement

Tiled floors, walls and other surfaces are major determinants of how a space looks and feels. Tiles can improve the overall aesthetics of spaces when they blend harmoniously with other building elements. 

What Types of Tiles are Available for Construction Projects?

Our selection includes various types of tiles, ensuring that all your tiling needs are fulfilled. Some of the types commonly chosen by our customers are:

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles are made from natural clay and are easy to maintain and cost-effective. Additionally, they are stain and water-resistant, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor spaces with low foot traffic. 

Vitrified Tiles

Renowned for their strength and durability, vitrified tiles are resistant to stains and moisture. These tiles are also available in various finishes such as rough, glossy and matte and can even mimic natural materials like stone and wood. This makes them a great option for high-traffic areas in both exterior and interior spaces in residential and commercial settings. 

Natural Stone Tiles

Tiles can be made of natural stones like marble, granite and slate. Such tiles are extremely strong, durable and functional. With versatile finish options like polished, semi-polished and rough, natural stone tiles are an aesthetic and eco-friendly addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces. 

Porcelain Tiles

Crafted from refined clay at high temperatures, porcelain tiles are exceptionally durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Their water-resistant properties make them a popular choice for areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms. 

Cement Tiles

Often handcrafted, cement tiles are colourful and intricately patterned, serving as beautiful additions to any wall or floor. They have good weather resistance, making them usable in both outdoor and indoor areas. 

Factors to Consider While Buying Tiles for Your Project

Choosing the right tiles can ensure the beauty and functionality of your construction projects. Here are some key considerations to help you make the best choice:

Maintenance and Repair

Long-term needs and expenditures on maintenance and repair must be considered when choosing the right tile type. For instance, natural stone tiles can be repolished in case the original polish wears out, but this is not possible with most other tile types. However, natural stone tiles can be more vulnerable to stains, while porcelain tiles can resist them better. 

Usage Patterns

Outdoor tiles generally require high strength, resistance to weathering forces and the capacity to bear traffic loads (especially in parking areas). On the other hand, indoor wall tiles can have relatively low strength but must be easy to maintain. Analyse how the tiled space is going to be used before choosing the right tile type. 

Ease of Installation

Consider how easy it is to install the tiles you choose. While some tiles can be fixed using adhesives, others require beds of cement mortar to be prepared. The installation method and ease can significantly impact labour costs and construction timelines. 

Cost-Effectiveness

Although premium tiles may initially cost more than ordinary ones, they often save money over time due to their durability and low maintenance needs. To make sure you're investing wisely, take the entire lifecycle cost into account.
