Durability & Easy Maintenance
Since wash areas are under attack from water, splashes, soap, humidity, etc., durability and maintenance ease are most important. Ensure the following:
- Water absorption / porosity: Porcelain is superior to regular ceramic in water resistance.
- Slip resistance (particularly for floor / wet areas): Use matte textured or anti-slip tiles.
- Scratch & stain resistance: Glazed finish resists stains; steer clear of extremely glossy ones if you have hard water stains.
- Cleaning & grout maintenance: Thin grout lines less likely to get dirty; sealed grout is a help; lighter coloured grout makes stains more visible.
- Colour retention : UV light exposure close to windows etc; select tiles with colourfast colours
- Edge strength & impact resistance : Thicker tiles or high quality material in areas subject to knocks.

FAQs
Glazed porcelain or glazed ceramic tiles are usually most suited because they are moisture
tolerant, easy to clean, and stain resistant. If high water resistance and durability is a must,
porcelain is used.
Shiny tiles reflect light and appear bright & clean, but exhibit water spots and are slippery.
Matte or textured finishes are non-reflective and safer in wet situations, particularly on floors
or lower walls.
Smaller or medium tiles (e.g. mosaics, tiles up to 30×30 cm) help in small spaces since more
grout lines can break up the visual field and make maintenance easier. Large tiles may
overwhelm or require more cutting/adjustment.
Light grout hues open up areas but more readily display dirt. Dark grout conceals stains but
may make the area appear dimmer or tighter. Most often, matching or similar-tone grout to
the tile conceals seams and seems more continuous.
Natural stone (marble, granite, slate) provides upscale and one-of-a-kind texture but is more
porous, requires sealing, can stain/etch. For most, stone-look porcelain provides similar
appearance with reduced maintenance.
