800x1600 Tiles in India (32x64 Inch / 2.5x5 Feet) for Floors and Walls

800x1600 tiles, also called 32x64 inch tiles or 2.5x5 feet tiles, are large-format vitrified tiles used on both walls and floors. The size sits between regular 2x4 tiles and full slab sizes like 1200x1800, so it gives a clean, large-format look without the handling problems of slabs. One 800x1600 tile covers about 13.77 sq. ft., and a box of two tiles covers 27.54 sq.ft. The range works for living rooms, bedrooms, foyers, hotel lobbies, showrooms, and feature walls. Browse 800x1600 designs in GVT, PGVT, Full Body, and Colour Body, in matte, glossy, sugar, and carving finishes.

What 800x1600 Tiles Are Best For

The 1:2 ratio of the 800x1600 size makes it one of the most balanced large-format tiles. The tile is big enough to cut down grout lines and give a slab-like look, but small enough that most tile layers can fix it without special handling equipment. People mostly use this size for living room flooring, bedroom flooring, foyer walls and floors, lobby flooring, showroom flooring, and bookmatch feature walls.

For Indian homes where rooms are usually 12x14 feet to 16x20 feet, the 800x1600 size works well because fewer cuts are needed at the edges, and the visual scale matches the room. In smaller rooms below 10x10 feet, the size can look out of proportion, and 600x1200 is the better pick.

800x1600 Tile Size in Feet, Inches, Millimetres, and Sq Ft

Buyers often search for the 800x1600 size in different units. The mm size is what the factory prints on the box. The inch and feet versions are what most contractors quote on-site. Here are the exact conversions.

To work out how many tiles you need, divide your total area in sq.ft by 13.77, then add 10% for cutting wastage. For a 600 sq.ft living room, you need around 600 / 13.77 = 44 tiles, plus 10% extra, which works out to 48 tiles or 24 boxes.

Categories Available in 800x1600 Tiles

800x1600 tiles come in four main vitrified body types. Each type has a different surface build and a different price point. Pick the body type based on where you plan to lay the tile and how much foot traffic it will get.

Note: PGVT tiles in the 800x1600 size must not be used on wet-area floors or outdoor floors. The polished finish becomes slippery when wet. For wet zones, pick GVT or Full Body in a matte finish.

Prices above are indicative for the Indian market and vary by brand, design, and city. Morbi factory rates run lower than retail showroom rates by 20% to 30%.

Finishes Available in 800x1600 Tiles

The 800x1600 range comes in most surface finishes. The right finish depends on whether the tile goes on a wall or floor, and whether the area stays dry or gets wet.

Matte stays the safest bet for floor work across the house. Polished finishes look striking on living room walls and feature walls, but should never go on bathroom floors, kitchen floors, or outdoor surfaces.

Which Areas Use 800x1600 Tiles Best

Not every room suits a large-format tile. The 800x1600 size shines in open, mid-to-large spaces where the long edge of the tile can run along the room. Smaller rooms look cramped when the tile is bigger than the floor section it sits on.

• Living room flooring and walls: gives a slab look without slab cost
• Bedroom flooring: fewer grout lines mean cleaner-looking floors
• Foyer and entrance: the bigger tile sets a luxury tone at the door
• Hotel lobbies and showroom floors: large-scale spaces match the tile scale
• Feature walls behind TV units, beds, and reception counters
• Bookmatch walls in foyers, living rooms, and washbasin counters
• Office reception and conference room flooring
• Restaurant dining halls with open layouts

Note: Avoid 800x1600 in bathrooms smaller than 5x7 feet, in narrow passages under 4 feet wide, and in kitchens with heavy cabinet work. The cuts needed at the edges waste material and break the look.

32x64 Tiles Price in India

800x1600 tile prices in India run from Rs. 60 per sq ft for basic GVT designs to Rs. 250 per sq ft for Colour Body and bookmatch slab-look designs. The factory base price in Morbi runs 20% to 30% below retail showroom prices. Transport cost adds Rs. 5 to Rs. 12 per sq ft based on distance.

Price varies by brand, finish, design complexity, and city. Carving and bookmatch tile designs cost more because of the extra processing. Plain marble looks and abstract designs sit on the lower end of the band.

Comparison with Other Tile Sizes

The 800x1600 size is the in-between option between regular tiles and slab tiles. Here is how it stacks up against the next larger and smaller sizes.

The 800x1600 size avoids the handling risk of 1200x1800 and above. Slabs need two people and a frame to lift, often with chipping at the edges in transit. The 800x1600 can be carried by two regular tile layers without machinery and fits into most service lifts.

How to Choose 800x1600 Tiles

Pick the 800x1600 size when the room is at least 10x12 feet, the floor is going to be one continuous surface, and the budget allows for the larger format. Use this checklist before placing an order.

• Measure the room carefully. Rooms below 100 sq. ft. do not suit this size
• Check the floor screw. Large-format tiles show every dip in the substrate, so the screed must be flat within 3 mm over a 2 m line
• Decide between matte and polished early. Matte covers floor and wall safely, polished is for dry walls and dry floors only
• Buy 10% extra. Cutting wastage runs higher in large-format tiles because each cut piece is bigger
• Match batch numbers. Tile shades vary between production batches, so order the full quantity in one go
• Use epoxy grout for thin 2 mm grout lines, especially with bookmatch and continuous designs
• Get a skilled tile layer. Large-format work needs a proper notched trowel size, back-buttering, and beating
