   Key Tips or Criteria for Choosing Tiles and Ceramics 

Choosing tiles and ceramics for your home is an important decision, as it's not something you change every day.

Below, we highlight the most important points in choosing floor and wall tiles for buildings

 Installation Location / Usage Area 

The place where the tile or ceramic is to be installed directly affects the material, size, and design. The following considerations should be made

Area

Selection Tips

Kitchen

Stain-resistant, washable, preferably matte for the floor – glossy for walls

Bathroom & WC

Non-slip, waterproof, moisture-resistant                                        

Living Room       

Aesthetic, visually pleasant, highly durable                                    

Balcony & Outdoors

Frost-resistant, resistant to sun and rain, textured surface to prevent slipping

 

      Color and Design: Aesthetic Aspects 

     Light colors: Make the space look larger and brighter

     Dark colors: Add warmth and character but may make the space appear smaller

     Stone, wood, or concrete patterns: Choose depending on your home’s style (modern, classic, industrial...)

     Simple or busy design?   If your furniture and décor are already busy, go for simpler tiles – and vice versa

      Suitable Size: Large or Small  

     Large spaces   → Larger tiles (60×60 cm or even 80×80 cm)

     Smaller spaces   → Smaller or mosaic tiles

  Larger tiles reduce visible grout lines and create a more uniform appearance

 Material and Durability 

     Ceramic: More suitable for floors due to its durability

     Tile: Typically used for walls as it is more delicate.   Porcelain: Excellent durability; ideal for high-traffic floors – recommended when the budget allows

     Anti-slip: Necessary for bathrooms, restrooms, and outdoor walkways

      Budget and Pricing 

   Regular tiles are more affordable but may need replacing over time

   Porcelain tiles are more expensive but long-lasting and more economical in the long run

   Don't forget to consider installation and grouting costs (usually calculated per square meter)

   Proper Installation 

Even the best tile won't look good if it's poorly installed. Choose a professional installer.

Using grout that matches the tile color is recommended to achieve a more cohesive look.
