The full specification list
The table below is the catalogue as printed — where each tile goes, its size, body, finish, rate and the specification note that makes it work.

| Bathroom wall, feature | 300 x 600 mm | Glazed | Textured 3D | Rs 150–280 | One wall only; texture holds soap residue |
| Balcony floor | 300 x 300 mm | Full-body | Anti-skid R11 | Rs 55–100 | UV stable; verify frost and thermal rating |
| Utility floor | 300 x 300 mm | Ceramic | Anti-skid R11 | Rs 40–75 | Cheapest place to economise; nobody sees it |

| Pooja niche | 300 x 600 mm | Porcelain | Satin | Rs 120–220 | Avoid gloss; the lamp reflects unpleasantly |

How to use the catalogue
- Start from the room column. It is arranged by location for a reason: the same tile that is right on a bedroom floor is wrong in a bathroom, and the difference is the body and the slip rating.
- Check the lift diagonal before choosing large format. A 1200 x 1800 mm slab does not go up in most Mumbai lifts, and carrying it up a staircase is a real cost and a real breakage risk.
- Specify epoxy grout in wet and oily areas. Cement grout in a kitchen splashback stains within a year and cannot be cleaned back.
- Decide the grout colour deliberately. On subway tile it is a design decision that changes the whole wall; leaving it to the mason means white by default.
Three mistakes this prevents
- Glazed vitrified on a kitchen floor. A chipped edge shows white against the pattern; full-body carries the colour through and the chip disappears.
- Polished tile in a bathroom. It is the most common cause of a bathroom fall in an Indian home, and R11 costs no more.
- Wood-look planks laid in brick bond. Long planks in a half offset lipping at the centre of every joint; a one-third offset is the correct laying pattern.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between vitrified and ceramic tile?+
Vitrified tile is fired at a higher temperature with a lower water absorption, typically under 0.5 per cent, which makes it harder and suitable for floors. Ceramic absorbs more and is softer, which is fine on walls and in light-use areas but not on a living-room floor.
What does full-body mean?+
The colour and pattern run through the full thickness of the tile rather than sitting in a printed glaze on top. It costs more and it means a chipped edge or a worn surface still shows the same colour, which is why it belongs in kitchens, balconies and anywhere with traffic and grit.
What slip rating do I need in a bathroom?+
R11 on the floor, which is the rating that holds underfoot when the surface is wet and soapy. R10 is acceptable in a kitchen where water is occasional. Polished or R9 tile in a bathroom is a genuine hazard, particularly in a home with older residents.
How much extra tile should I order?+
Ten per cent over the measured area, and all of it from one batch. Cutting waste runs 5 to 8 per cent on a simple layout and more with diagonal or patterned laying, and the remainder gives you replacements later — which you will not be able to buy matching in two years.
Can large-format tile go on a wall?+
Yes, up to about 8 ft height with adhesive alone. Above that, mechanical fixing is required as well, because the weight of a 600 x 1200 mm porcelain panel failing from height is a serious matter. Any external or high cladding should be mechanically fixed regardless.
