Elevation Tiles for Home Exteriors

 

Give your home a clean, modern, and well-finished look while protecting the outer walls from sun, rain, and dust. Elevation tiles are specially made for exterior and semi-exterior spaces like front facades, balconies, compound walls, and boundary walls.

Why Homeowners Choose Elevation Tiles

  • Built to handle sun, rain, wind, dust, and daily weather changes
  • Colours designed to stay bright and resist fading
  • Very low maintenance, usually just a wash with water

Most tiles here come in practical thicknesses from 7.00 mm to 12.00 mm, so you can match your contractor's recommendation and existing wall build-up.

Start With the Right Size

  • For front elevations, you can use medium sizes like 600x600 mm or 600x1200 mm. Bigger sizes like 800x1200 mm, 800x1600 mm, and 1200x1800 mm can also be used, but they are usually cut into smaller pieces to create a layout. Using these as a full single piece is risky.
  • For side walls, balcony fronts, and columns, sizes like 300x450 mm, 300x600 mm, 200x1000 mm, 200x1200 mm, and 200x600 mm are easier to cut around edges and openings to minimise wastage.

 

High-Depth Elevation Tiles

 

1. Sizes & Surface

High-depth elevation tiles are mostly available in 300x450 mm and 300x600 mm sizes. The punch depth ranges from 2.5 mm to 6 mm, and they usually come in a matte finish that gives a natural stone-like feel. They are commonly used for main elevation walls, side walls, and balcony fronts.

2. Natural Stone Replicas & Random Designs

These tiles are designed to look like real natural stone. In one box, you may find multiple different designs with the same punch design; this is called random design. When installed, the patterns do not repeat noticeably, so the wall looks more natural, rich, and premium.

Small-Size Elevation Tiles

Small elevation tiles such as 100x200 mm and 75x300 mm are less available, but they offer huge design flexibility. Because of their compact size, you can create many different laying patterns like brick bond, herringbone, staggered, vertical stack, or mixed layouts. These tiles give a detailed, handcrafted look and work beautifully on smaller walls, balcony fronts, and window frames where you want more interest.

Choose a Finish That Matches Your Style

Choose how your walls feel and reflect light. You will find:

  • Softer, muted surfaces: Matte, Satin Matte, Sugar, Matte Carving, GHR Matte
  • Shiny, striking walls: Glossy, Semi High Glossy, High Glossy, Super High Glossy, Glossy Carving
  • Polished looks: Polished, Semi Polished, Polished Sugar
  • More tactile options: Texture

Tip: Choose matte or satin finishes if you prefer a calm, modern look. Go for glossy or high-glossy when you want the facade to stand out and catch the eye,

Choose the Right Tile Type (Category)

Under the category, you will see bodies like Glazed Vitrified Tiles, Ceramic, Full Body, and PGVT. These give you flexibility on:

  • Where the tile will be used (main elevation, balcony, boundary wall)
  • How much wear and weather it will face
  • How premium or budget-friendly you want the solution to be

 

Match Colours With Your Building

The Colour options cover neutrals, darks, and highlights:

  • Neutrals: White, Beige, Ivory, Grey, Sandune
  • Dark and strong bases: Black, Brown, Wenge
  • Earthy and warm: Terracotta, Golden, Red
  • Fresh and cool: Blue, Green, AQ Green, Turquoise
  • Accent tones: Yellow, Purple, Pink, Wood, Multi

Use neutrals and stone-like tones for most of the wall. Bring in darker or brighter shades as bands, frames, or around the main door to highlight key areas.

Style Guidance Based on Home Type

  • Modern Homes: Cement, stone, and monochrome finishes for a clean, contemporary look.
  • Traditional Homes: Terracotta, brick, Moroccan, and warm-tone tiles for a classic, homely feel.
  • Farmhouses: Stone, rustic, wood, and textured tiles that blend naturally with outdoor surroundings.
  • Apartments: Light and bright shades that make balconies and small exterior walls look more open and spacious.

 

Choose a Look That Suits Your Home

It helps you define the overall mood of the elevation tiles. Options include:

  • Natural looks: Stone, Wood, Marble, Cement
  • Pattern and detail: Moroccan, Floral, Abstract, decor, Geometric Rustic, 3D, Endless, Bookmatch, Punch
  • Clean and simple: Modern, Monochrome, Plain
  • Textured surfaces: Embossed tiles
  • Other style options are grouped under Look

Stone and cement look good for most exteriors and stay timeless. Moroccan, geometric, and 3D looks are ideal when you want a stronger design statement on a feature wall.

Get thickness right from the start

The Thickness filter includes 7.00 mm, 7.30 mm, 7.50 mm, 8.00 mm, 8.50 mm, 9.00 mm, 9.50 mm, 11.00 mm, and 12.00 mm.

  • Thinner tiles can work for lighter areas or where you must match existing levels.
  • Higher thickness is useful where the contractor expects more impact or needs a sturdier feel.

How to Select Tiles Based on Sun Direction

  • East/West-facing walls: Choose matte or stone finishes to reduce glare from strong sunlight.
  • North-facing walls: Glossy tiles help brighten areas that get less natural light.

FAQs

They are chosen for exterior and semi-exterior use, so they are meant to sit in open weather. When fixed on a properly prepared wall with the right adhesive and grout, the surface and colour are made to handle day-to-day exposure to sun, rain, and dust. Cleaning is mostly limited to washing off dirt, rather than worrying about peeling paint or frequent repainting.

Think about how much light the wall gets and how you want it to look from outside. On walls that get strong sunlight, many people choose matte, satin matte, sugar, or matte carving because they cut down glare and feel softer on the eyes.

 On walls that stay shaded, like under a balcony, a glossy, semi high glossy, high glossy, super high glossy, or glossy carving tile can make the area look brighter and more finished. A common choice is to keep most of the elevation in a matte or satin finish and use a glossy tile only on a smaller feature area, such as around the main door or one highlight panel.

Our filters allow you to find thickness options such as 7.00 mm, 7.30 mm, 7.50 mm, 8.00 mm, 8.50 mm, 9.00 mm. For high-depth elevation tiles, a thicker body is required. Tiles with deep punch designs (2.5 mm to 6 mm depth) usually come in 9 mm to 12 mm thickness to support the heavier texture.

For most homes, your contractor will pick a range that suits the wall condition and the installation method, then stay within that range across the project. Once you know the range, set the Thickness filter so you only see tiles that match it.

Day to day, they usually just need dusting or a wash with water to remove dirt from traffic and weather. When the walls look dull, a mild cleaning liquid with water is normally enough to refresh the surface. If you live in a very dusty area, it’s better to avoid high-depth elevation tiles. Deep punch designs can trap dust easily and may need frequent cleaning.
