Ideal for terraces, balconies, living areas, feature walls and more.
Offered in multiple size formats — 12×12 inch, 16×16 inch, 24×24 inch and 24×48 inch — these tiles adapt to compact areas as well as expansive open spaces. Crafted in durable materials including ceramic, porcelain, and vitrified, they deliver performance and aesthetics in one. Price range: ₹50 per sq ft to ₹100 per sq ft, making them a high-value choice for homes and terraces alike.
Why These Plain Tiles Make a Smart Choice
-
Minimalist elegance: A plain surface means less visual clutter, letting furniture, lighting and outdoor views take centre stage.
-
Floor & wall versatility: Use the same tile for both surfaces to create seamless continuity or contrast by changing orientation.
-
Strong materials: Ceramic, porcelain and vitrified options offer varying performance levels for different budgets and usage zones.
-
Carving matt finish: Subtle texture adds depth underfoot and enhances grip — especially valuable in outdoor or semi-outdoor settings.
-
Cost-effective: With pricing from ₹50 to ₹100 per sq ft, you can achieve premium look without a premium price tag.
Ideal Applications
-
Terrace & balcony floors: Durable, weather-tolerant surfaces that stand up to sun, rain and foot traffic.
-
Feature or full wall cladding: Use on walls to emphasise texture, or across both floor and wall for visual continuity.
-
Indoor transition areas: Entry halls, living rooms, dining areas where you want a durable yet understated look.
-
Outdoor-indoor blending: Ideal when terraces and living zones flow into one another — maintain same tile for seamless transition.
Planning the Layout & Material Choice
-
Select size smartly: Use 24×48 for large open areas to reduce grout lines; use 12×12 or 16×16 in smaller zones or around steps.
-
Material decision: • Ceramic: budget-friendly, best for less exposed zones. • Porcelain: denser, more wear-resistant. • Vitrified: top-tier for heavy traffic, outdoor use and high performance.
-
Grout & orientation: Colour-match grout for a flowing look, or contrast lightly for delineation. Align tiles so joints fall in non-prominent locations.
-
Finish considerations: Carving matt finish gives subtle texture and anti-slip benefit; ideal for terraces and wet outdoor zones.
Installation & Care Tips
- Ensure substrate is level, well-prepared and waterproofed if exposed to rain or moisture.
- Lay tiles with suitable adhesive for outdoor use (especially for vitrified or porcelain), and keep slope for water drainage on terraces.
- Use non-staining grout (ideally epoxy in high-moisture zones) and clean tile surface before grout sets.
- Care routine: sweep regularly, mop with mild pH-neutral cleaner, avoid harsh acids/abrasives that can degrade matt texture or finish.
Styling Inspiration
A plain tile palette offers enormous flexibility. Choose cool grey for ultra-modern minimal homes, warm beige for cosy terraces, or off-white for bright indoor-outdoor blends. Combine with metal-framed furniture and greenery to create stylish outdoor lounges, or opt for dark base tiles with light walls for dramatic contrast. Because the surface is plain, you can layer in textured textiles, plants and furniture without visual overload.

The plain terrace floor & wall tiles are priced between ₹50 per sq ft and ₹100 per sq ft, depending on size, material and finish.
