Project Tile Selection
Tiles for Residential and Commercial Building Projects
Explore porcelain and ceramic tiles for villas, apartments, hotels, resorts and commercial developments. Our project team helps coordinate tile types, sizes, finishes, quantities, samples, quotations, quality checks, packing and international delivery.
Tile Categories
Tile Options Organized by Application
The final selection should be confirmed against the intended space, finish, dimensions, quantity, maintenance conditions and any project-specific performance requirements.
Glazed Porcelain Tiles
Decorative floor and wall surfaces available in different sizes, visual references and finishes.
Rustic Porcelain Tiles
Textured and low-gloss visual options for residential, hospitality and selected commercial spaces.
Wood-Look Tiles
Wood-grain visual references coordinated with plank size, laying direction, shade and joint requirements.
Interior Wall Tiles
Wall finishes for bathrooms, kitchens, feature walls and other interior applications.
Exterior Wall Tiles
Facade and exterior wall options reviewed around substrate, exposure, fixing method and local conditions.
Outdoor Paving Tiles
Outdoor surfaces selected according to use area, thickness, finish, drainage and required slip performance.
Skirting and Step Tiles
Supporting pieces coordinated with the selected field tile, edge detail, stair geometry and installation layout.
Roof Tiles
Roof covering options reviewed around profile, color, roof design, climate exposure and fixing requirements.
Natural marble and stone should be reviewed through the separate Marble & Stone category to keep specifications and quotations clearly separated.
Before Quotation
Information That Helps Us Review Your Tile Scope
You do not need to have every detail finalized. Send the available documents first, and the missing selection or quotation information can be identified during scope review.
Recommended Project Information
- BOQ, finish schedule or room-by-room tile list
- Floor plans, elevations or marked application areas
- Reference images, colors and surface finish preferences
- Required sizes, thicknesses and installation patterns
- Indoor, outdoor, wet-area or high-traffic applications
- Estimated quantities and required cutting allowance
- Project location and target delivery period
- Required standards, test reports or approval documents
Selection Checklist
Key Details That Affect Tile Selection and Quotation
A visual reference alone is not enough for final approval. The selected tile should be reviewed together with its intended application, declared properties, installation conditions and available documentation.
| Review Item | Information to Confirm | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Application Area | Floor, wall, facade, terrace, bathroom, kitchen or other location | Defines the intended use and the selection criteria that need review. |
| Tile Type | Porcelain, ceramic or another specified product type | Affects declared properties, weight, installation and suitability. |
| Size and Thickness | Nominal size, actual size tolerance and required thickness | Influences layout, cutting, handling, substrate preparation and packing. |
| Surface Finish | Polished, matte, textured, glazed or project-specific reference | Affects appearance, maintenance and suitability for wet or exposed areas. |
| Performance | Required slip, absorption, abrasion, frost or other project criteria | Requirements should be matched to a selected product and available test data. |
| Visual Control | Color, pattern, shade range, caliber and approved sample | Reduces avoidable variation between the approved reference and delivered batch. |
| Quantity | Net area, cutting allowance, spare quantity and phased requirements | Supports purchasing, batch coordination and replacement planning. |
| Packing and Delivery | Carton, pallet or crate requirements; project labels and delivery sequence | Supports handling, room allocation and coordination with other materials. |
Project Applications
Tile Requirements Change with Every Building Type
Selections should follow the space schedule and intended use rather than applying one tile specification across the entire project.
Villas
Coordinated floor, wall, bathroom, kitchen, terrace and feature-area selections.
Apartments
Repeatable unit finishes, common-area requirements and quantity control by room type.
Hotels
Guestroom, bathroom, lobby, restaurant, service-area and circulation-space coordination.
Resorts
Indoor and exposed-area finishes reviewed around design intent and environmental conditions.
Offices
Reception, workspace, washroom and circulation finishes coordinated by use area.
Residential Projects
Practical room-by-room selection around appearance, maintenance and installation needs.
Project Workflow
From Tile Schedule to Coordinated Delivery
The exact sequence depends on project readiness, approval requirements, quantities and production schedules.
Project Information
Review drawings, schedules, quantities, references and delivery requirements.
Scope Review
Group tiles by room, application, size, finish and quotation category.
Product Selection
Compare available references against the intended use and project priorities.
Sample Approval
Record the approved sample, finish, size and relevant product information.
Quantity Confirmation
Confirm net quantities, allowance, spare requirements and delivery phases.
Production Follow-Up
Track the approved scope and communicate material changes or schedule updates.
Quality Inspection
Check the agreed inspection items before packing or shipment release.
Packing and Delivery
Coordinate labels, protected packing, consolidation and shipment information.
Approval of samples, specifications and quantities should be completed before production release whenever the project schedule allows.
Quality Control
Checks and Documents Aligned with the Approved Scope
Inspection scope and documentation vary by product. Required standards and reports should be confirmed for the selected reference rather than assumed to apply to every tile.
Typical Inspection Items
- Product reference, size and declared thickness
- Surface finish, color and visible pattern
- Shade and caliber information where applicable
- Visible chips, cracks, stains or surface defects
- Carton quantities and project reference labels
- Pallet or crate condition before shipment
Possible Project Documents
- Quotation and product schedule
- Approved sample or finish reference record
- Product data sheet when available
- Product-specific test report when required and available
- Inspection photos or report according to agreed scope
- Packing list and shipment information
Final suitability, installation method and local compliance remain subject to the selected product, substrate, project specification, destination requirements and local professional review.

Questions Before Tile Selection and Quotation
Final answers depend on the selected product, project specification and available documentation.
What information should I send for a tile quotation?
Send the available BOQ or finish schedule, floor plans, application areas, preferred sizes and finishes, quantities, project location and target delivery period. Reference images can help identify the intended visual direction.
Can you help if the tile schedule is not complete?
Yes. An initial review can begin with floor plans, room dimensions, reference images or a preliminary quantity list. Missing information will be identified before the scope is finalized.
How should porcelain and ceramic tiles be selected?
The choice should consider the intended application, declared product classification, surface finish, size, installation conditions and project requirements. Product-specific data should be reviewed before approval.
Can samples be arranged before ordering?
Sample availability, sample cost, courier arrangements and timing are confirmed during quotation because they vary by product, destination and project stage.
How do you review tiles for wet or outdoor areas?
Share the exact application and required performance criteria. Surface texture, drainage, exposure, substrate, installation method and available product test information should be reviewed together.
How much extra quantity should be allowed?
The allowance depends on tile size, room geometry, installation pattern, cutting, expected breakage and future spare requirements. It should be confirmed with the project designer or installer rather than using one percentage for every project.
Can tiles be consolidated with other building materials?
Consolidation can be reviewed when product schedules, production timing, packing requirements and shipment arrangements are compatible. The final plan is confirmed against the complete project scope.
