All About Tiles

Tiles are one of the most versatile and enduring materials used in modern architecture and interior design. Combining durability, aesthetic appeal, and practicality, tiles are an essential surface solution for both residential and commercial environments. At DEKOR, we curate a wide selection of premium tiles designed to meet the needs of contemporary spaces — from elegant homes to large-scale commercial interiors.

Understanding Different Types of Tiles

Tiles are manufactured surface materials commonly used for flooring and wall applications. Made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone, tiles are valued for their strength, water resistance, and design flexibility. Modern tiles are engineered to withstand daily wear while maintaining their visual appeal, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, and high-traffic commercial areas.

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tiles offer excellent design versatility and are widely used for wall and light-floor applications. They are available in a broad range of colours, textures, and finishes, making them a popular choice for decorative spaces.

Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain tiles are one of the most durable tile options available. Fired at higher temperatures, they are denser, less porous, and highly resistant to moisture, stains, and scratches. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and are commonly used for floors, feature walls, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Large Format Tiles

Large format tiles create a seamless and luxurious visual effect by reducing grout lines. These tiles are often used in modern interiors to create spacious, minimalist aesthetics. Common sizes include formats such as 600×1200mm, 750×1500mm, and 900×1800mm.

Natural Stone Look Tiles

Advancements in tile technology allow porcelain tiles to replicate the beauty of natural stone such as marble, travertine, and limestone while offering superior durability and easier maintenance.

Where Tiles Can Be Used

Tiles are suitable for a wide range of applications throughout residential and commercial spaces.

Common applications include:

• Living room floors

• Kitchen walls and floors

• Bathroom walls and floors

• Feature walls

• Outdoor patios and balconies

• Commercial interiors and retail spaces

  
  

Their resistance to moisture and wear makes them particularly suitable for humid environments and high-traffic areas.

Advantages of Tiles

Tiles remain one of the most popular surface materials because they offer several key benefits:
