Why Customers Love Them
-
Dual-usage versatility: Suitable for both wall cladding (terrace walls, parapets, feature walls) and flooring (terraces, balconies, transitional indoor areas) thanks to robust materials.
-
Rangoli-inspired design with plain elegance: The motifs borrow the rhythmic patterning of traditional Rangoli art but applied in a minimalist, modern tile context.
-
Carving matt finish: Offers tactile texture, gentle light play, and low glare — ideal for outdoor or semi-outdoor zones.
-
Material choice: Ceramic for cost-effective styling, vitrified for enhanced durability and low moisture absorption suitable for outdoor walls & floors.
-
Varied sizes: The 12×24 format works well for vertical walls or smaller floor areas; the large 24×48 format brings continuity and fewer joints for expansive areas.
Ideal Applications
-
Terrace floors: The carved matt surface withstands foot traffic, mild weather exposure and is easy to maintain.
-
Parapet & terrace walls: Transform blank walls into stylised features with the Rangoli-inspired pattern while keeping a calm overall zone.
-
Indoor transitional areas: Use on walls of sun-rooms, balconies, or indoor edge zones for continuity between interior and exterior.
-
Feature zones: Create a visual accent on one vertical surface, then complement with plain neighbouring finishes to highlight the design.
How to Plan & Lay Your Tiles
-
Select the right size for your space: Use 12×24 for walls or smaller terraces; use 24×48 for larger open terrace floors to minimise joint lines and maximise flow.
-
Coordinate with base finishes: Pair with neutral base tiles (e.g., soft whites, light greys, sandy beiges) so the Rangoli pattern stands out without being overwhelming.
-
Orientation & pattern flow: For terrace walls, consider horizontal placement of 12×24 to elongate the space; for floors, align 24×48 panels for directional flow towards view or opening.
-
Grout & joint strategy: Use a grout color that closely matches the dominant tile tone to create seamless effect. Outdoor areas benefit from slightly wider joints (3–4 mm) to accommodate movement.
-
Outdoor readiness: Ensure proper substrate preparation for terraces (sloping, waterproofing membrane, correct adhesive for vitrified/ceramic outdoors) following industry best practices. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Material & Finish Details
-
Ceramic: Cost-effective option, suitable for walls and covered floors with less direct weather exposure.
-
Vitrified: Dense, low-porosity, strong option ideal for terrace floors and external walls exposed to elements.
-
Carving matt finish: Adds subtle depth and reduces slip/glare, especially beneficial in outdoor ambient lighting.
-
Colours: Offered in a wide palette of neutrals and soft accents—e.g., off-white, ivory, grey, sandy beige, muted pastels—to suit Indian climate and furnishings.
Installation & Maintenance (India-Ready)
- Prepare a well-leveled screed with correct slope (for outdoor terrace floors) and waterproofing layer for walls subject to rain/splash.
- Use adhesives rated for ceramic/vitrified tiles and for outdoor use if applicable. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for substrate absorption, temperature range, and open time.
- Joint spacing: 3-4 mm recommended for outdoor floors, 2-3 mm for walls. Use high-quality non-staining grout or flexible grout for outdoor movement zones.
- Care: Sweep regularly and rinse. Use pH-neutral cleaning solutions and avoid strong acids, alkalis, or harsh abrasive pads which could damage the carved finish.
Styling Ideas & Design Inspiration
Picture a terrace floor laid with 24×48 carved matt tiles in light sandy beige, leading your gaze to a view; the parapet wall clad with 12×24 tiles of the same series in off-white with subtle Rangoli engraving gives that quiet designer edge. Indoors you might apply the same tile on a half-wall leading from the terrace to the living room, creating a material continuity between indoors and outdoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can these plain terrace tiles be used both on the wall and on the floor?
Yes – the collection is designed for dual-usage. The materials (ceramic/vitrified) and finishes (carving matt) are suitable for terrace walls as well as floors, provided correct installation and substrate preparation.
What are the available sizes?
Two key formats: 12 × 24 inches for smaller walls or transitional areas, and 24 × 48 inches for expansive floors or large-scale wall surfaces.
What is the price range?
The tiles are priced between ₹60 per sq.ft and ₹100 per sq.ft, depending on size, material (ceramic or vitrified), and finish.
Do they require special care outdoors?
Not special but careful: Ensure you follow installation best practices for outdoor zones, sweep and rinse regularly, and use mild pH-neutral cleaners. Avoid heavy abrasives or harsh chemicals to retain the carving matt texture.
What kind of colour palette works best with these tiles?
Since the tile design is plain with Rangoli-inspired subtle texture, you’ll want furnishings and walls in complementary neutrals or soft accents—think off-whites, muted greys, sandy beiges. This allows the tile surface to appear serene yet sophisticated.
