FAQ

Choosing the ideal tiles for your home essentially depends on your personal preferences and specific requirements. We offer an extensive selection of both ceramic and porcelain tiles, which are among the top choices for homeowners seeking durability, style and value. Ceramic tiles are renowned for their versatility and wide range of colours and designs, making them a perfect choice for almost any room in your house. Porcelain tiles, on the other hand, are known for their superior strength, water resistance and longevity, making them an excellent option for areas with high foot traffic or moisture exposure. Explore our collection to find the perfect combination of Porcelain and Ceramic Tile that best suits your home's interior design needs.

If you're wondering about the most durable tiles, here's what you need to know:
1. Natural Stone Tiles - Tiles made from natural stone, such as granite, marble and limestone, are top-notch in durability. They are tough and can last a long time.
2. Porcelain Tiles - These are great for areas that need strong tiles. Porcelain tiles are dense, making them less porous and very durable.
3. Ceramic Tiles - While not as heavy-duty as porcelain, ceramic tiles are still a good option for areas with moderate foot traffic.
Choosing any of these tile types will ensure you have a floor that stays in great shape for years to come.

Imagine how your home would look with different types of tiles, and pick the one that looks best to you. When choosing tiles for the bathroom, kitchen, or outdoors, remember to check if they're good at soaking up water and if they're slip-resistant to keep your home safe and looking great.

Porcelain tiles also come in a wide range of designs and finishes, allowing for more versatility in home decoration. Therefore, for those pursuing a long-lasting, moisture-resistant flooring option with diverse design choices, Porcelain tiles are often the superior choice.
