Major Ceramic industries with big brand names have their manufacturing plants in Morbi, Gujarat. If you have a requirement of very large quantity (approx 8000 sq. ft.) in any type of tiles like for your villa, resort, hotel or individual apartment then you can make custom orders and avail special discount rate. There are many small players in the ceramic industry who do white labelling work also.
And another interesting thing is that, many laymen don’t know that second quality or you can say cheapest tile vendors are also there in the market who sell rejected and little damaged tiles at very low cost like almost half price and lower than that. But you have to check every box before buying as they dont take back once sold.
We will only recommend it if you are not concerned about quality and want to do normal work in your space. You can definitely use where your tiles won’t be visible like, behind or under the furniture pieces, soft carpet, exterior walls just to protect the wall from dampness and heat.
Tile Buying Tips :-
1. Order extra 5% to 10% of total tiles required. It will be considered as a wastage during installation.
2. Buy tiles in the daytime, avoid selecting tiles at night.
3. Don’t buy very big size tiles for tiny rooms.
4. For bigger areas like the living room, choose large size tile to avoid grooves and make it look spacious.
5. If confused with the tile sizes, then select 2×2 (2 feet by feet) and 800×800 (32 inches by 32 inches) tile, which are the most popular and standard sizes for all types of rooms.
