Why Kajaria Tiles is the Preferred Choice for Bathrooms
Bathrooms are high-moisture spaces requiring materials that combine safety, water resistance, and aesthetics. As an authorized Kajaria dealer in Mumbai for over 20 years, we recommend Kajaria vitrified and ceramic tiles because of their low water absorption rate (less than 0.5%) and superior glaze durability.
1. Selecting the Right Tile Finish (Safety First)
The single most important decision for a bathroom floor tile is safety and slip resistance.
A. For Bathroom Floors: Matt & Anti-Skid
Never install glossy vitrified tiles on a bathroom floor. When wet, they become slippery and hazardous.
Anti-Skid Matte Tiles: These have a slightly textured surface that provides excellent grip even under soapy conditions.Satin Finish Tiles: Offers a smooth feel to bare feet while retaining enough friction to prevent slips.B. For Bathroom Walls: Glossy or High-Gloss Ceramic
For walls, you can let your creativity run wild:
Glossy Finish: Glossy wall tiles reflect light, making smaller Indian bathrooms appear brighter and more spacious. They are also incredibly easy to wipe down to prevent soap scum build-up.
2. Choosing Tile Sizes to Minimize Grout Lines
Standard sizes for modern Indian bathrooms include:
Floor Tiles: `300x300 mm` or `600x600 mm` are standard. Smaller sizes are easier to slope towards the drain, ensuring water doesn't pool in corners.Wall Tiles: Large-format tiles like `300x600 mm` or `600x1200 mm` look seamless, premium, and reduce the number of grout lines which are prone to mold and discolouration.
