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.
