"As an interior designer, the texture download feature is invaluable. I can show clients exactly how tiles will look in their space before ordering. The 3% commission is a real bonus on every project."
"Ordered Indian porcelain for our office floors. Responsive team, fast quote, and the tiles arrived exactly as pictured. Great to finally have a professional ceramic supplier in Addis with a proper online catalog."

Not all tiles are the same. Here's a simple breakdown of every type — what they are, what they're good at, and where to use them. No confusing jargon.
The most common and affordable tile. Made from natural clay mixed with minerals, pressed into shape, glazed, and fired at around 1,000-1,100°C. The surface has a protective glass-like coating (glaze) that gives it color and pattern.
✅ Affordable · Easy to cut · Huge variety of designs · Good for walls and light floors
❌ Absorbs some water · Less strong than porcelain · Can chip if hit hard
🏠 Best for: Bathroom walls, kitchen walls, bedroom floors
The premium choice. Made from finer, purer clay (kaolin) and fired at much higher temperatures (1,200-1,300°C). This makes them incredibly dense, nearly waterproof, and much stronger than regular ceramic. The color often runs through the entire tile body.
✅ Nearly waterproof · Very strong · Frost-proof · Long lifespan (50+ years) · Outdoor-ready
❌ More expensive · Harder to cut · Heavier
🏠 Best for: Floors, outdoor areas, bathrooms, commercial spaces
A special type of vitrified tile made by pressing two layers together — a thick base body and a thinner colored top layer (usually 3-4mm of colored material on top of a regular tile body). This gives a rich, consistent color on the surface without making the whole tile expensive.
✅ Consistent surface color · Strong · More affordable than full-body porcelain · Good for heavy traffic
❌ Top layer can wear over decades · Chips reveal different color underneath · Not for extreme outdoor use
🏠 Best for: Living rooms, hallways, offices, shops
Vitrified tiles with a glass coating (glaze) on top. The design is printed digitally using inkjet technology — just like a printer — so patterns can look exactly like real marble, wood, or stone. The vitrified body underneath is strong and waterproof.
✅ Endless design options · Looks like natural materials · Waterproof body · Smooth finish
❌ Glaze can scratch over time · Not as strong as full-body porcelain · Slippery when wet
🏠 Best for: Bedrooms, living rooms, indoor walls
The luxury finish of the tile world. GVT tiles that have been machine-polished to a mirror-like shine after glazing. The polishing removes tiny imperfections and creates a surface so smooth it reflects light like a mirror. Replicates the look of polished marble at a fraction of the cost.
✅ Gorgeous mirror finish · Makes rooms look bigger · Luxurious look · Waterproof
❌ Shows every footprint · Very slippery when wet · Scratches more visible · Needs regular cleaning
🏠 Best for: Hotel lobbies, formal living rooms, showrooms
