Premium Porcelain & Ceramic Tiles for Every Space

Porcelain tiles are a type of clay tile made using refined clay and fired at very high temperatures. This heating makes ceramic porcelain tile denser, harder, and more water-resistant than ordinary ceramic tiles. They don’t absorb moisture easily, which helps prevent stains, surface cracks, or long-term wear. These tiles are known for lasting across decades without losing their surface strength. That’s why they’re often used in homes as well as commercial areas.

In bathrooms or kitchens where water is common, porcelain tiles help reduce slipping, making them a great choice for safety. They also don't absorb much water, adding to their longevity.

Types of Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain tiles come in multiple finishes, each with a practical use:

• Glazed porcelain tiles: They come with a glass-like layer on top. These tiles are trendy, easy to clean, and best suited for living rooms or hallways where design takes center stage.

• Unglazed tiles: These tiles don't have a separate glazing layer on top. Such porcelain tiles usually are full body porcelain tiles, meaning one colour or texture throughout the tile’s body. Unglazed tiles are often used where safety and slip resistance are more important, like stairs, bathrooms, or service areas.

• Polished tiles: As the name suggests, their mirror-like surface adds brightness to rooms, especially when used with warm lighting. Since any polished surface doesn't offer much friction, these are best placed where water is less likely.

• Matte finish: Unlike polished finishes, matte finishes are great for slippery areas. You can use them in porcelain matte finsish tiles for bathrooms and porcelain tiles for the kitchen for added safety. In case your home interiors are more muted, you can install them throughout the house.

Apart from these, at Simpolo Tiles and Bathware, we have an impressive collection of textured porcelain tiles, such as stone, fabric, or wood look porcelain tiles, that carry the warmth of timber or stone without its downsides. Depending on your design, you can choose from our collections like Arrow Wood,Bronco Strepo, and others.

Best Porcelain Tile Colours for Every Room in Your Home

Before selecting the perfect tile colour for your rooms, you must consider your lighting, furniture, and overall design aesthetics.

• Grey Tiles for Modern Spaces

Grey porcelain tile works well with minimal, metal, or wood-accented interiors. Unlike lighter colours, it hides stains and dust better and is a safe pick for city apartments or compact spaces where other colours may look too loud. Grey tiles like Wild Grey or Occult Grey from our collections would be a great fit.

• White Tiles for Bright, Elegant Rooms

White porcelain tile reflects light, which helps smaller rooms feel more open. Pick white tiles like Armania Silver from our collection, in kitchens, wash areas, or rooms that don’t get much sunlight. It pairs well with wooden cabinets, coloured walls, or even steel fittings.

• Black and Dark Tiles for Impact

Dark porcelain tile, like black porcelain tile flooring or charcoal, adds depth to any space. They bring a crisp contrast to larger rooms when paired with off-white walls. Black porcelain floor tiles also do well in formal spaces like offices or study rooms.

• Wood-look Tiles for Natural Charm

Tiles like Forest Wood from our collection can be your choice for porcelain tiles for bedroom, dining spaces, or balconieswhere you need a subtle warmth. They work especially well in Indian homes where real wood might not be ideal, given the long summers or daily cleaning routines involving a lot of water. 

• Textured Tiles for Added Style

Any textured tile brings a subtle detail to a room without vying for attention. You can choose from stone, grain, or even soft linen textures. They go well with neutral walls and work for designs that need matte finishes. Porcelain tiles for the bathroom also offer a better grip, which makes them safe in wet zones.

Where to Use Porcelain Tiles in Your Home or Office

Knowing the perfect style is not enough for buying porcelain tiles; you also need to know where you can install them.

• For bathrooms: Porcelain tiles on bathroom floors and walls help avoid mould growth. Choose matte or light textures to avoid slipping.
• In kitchens: Porcelain kitchen floor tiles are the go-to choice as they don’t stain quickly, and if something hot falls accidentally while cooking, they are less likely to crack.
• In living rooms: Use porcelain tiles for living room areas in a larger size to create a seamless floor. Combine with rugs or soft lighting for contrast.
• For driveways or patios: Durable porcelain parking tiles and outdoor porcelain tiles are ideal for spaces exposed to weather, heavy foot traffic, or car movement.

How to Maintain Your Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain tiles are already very sturdy and low-maintenance. A quick sweep or vacuum regularly can prevent dust build-up and minor scratches. Clean the area with a mop with plain water or mild floor liquid. Like any other tile, prevention is better than a cure. To avoid scratches, place pads under furniture legs.

If you use these tiles in the kitchen, the best approach is to wipe up spills as they happen. Even though porcelain is water-resistant, it is best to keep it dry.

For bathrooms, especially where you’ve used porcelain floor tiles for bathroom, dry out the area after use. It helps keep the surface looking fresh. If tiles eventually lose their shine, a soft polish is an easy way to bring life back. Steer clear of using harsh acids or bleaching agents.

Selecting the Perfect Porcelain Tile for Your Space

Before picking a tile, consider the room where you want to install it. In busy areas, go with matte surfaces to avoid accidents. Similarly, small rooms look better with bigger tiles because of fewer grout lines. To design large halls, you can use patterned or textured porcelain tile finishes.

Along with size, the choice of colour is also very important. Light shades are best for rooms with little sunlight. Darker shades fit better in open layouts or where bold design is the focus. It is best to match tiles with the room’s paint, ceiling height, and furniture to create a cohesive look.
