Tile Sizes: Which Size for Which Room?
| Room | Recommended Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Large living room (400+ sq ft) | 800×800mm or 1200×600mm | Fewer joints, looks more spacious |
| Standard living room | 600×600mm | Most popular size, widely available |
| Bedroom | 600×600mm or 800×800mm | Clean, neat look |
| Bathroom floor | 300×300mm or 400×400mm | More joints = better grip |
| Bathroom wall | 300×450mm or 300×600mm | Standard wall tile proportion |
| Kitchen wall | 300×600mm | Easy to cut around outlets and fixtures |
| Parking / driveway | 400×400mm (12mm thick) | Thick enough for vehicle load |
Glossy vs Matt Tiles: Which is Right for Kerala?
This is one of the most common questions from Kerala home builders:
| Finish | Pros | Cons | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glossy / High Polish | Looks premium, reflects light, easy to mop | Shows footmarks, slippery when wet | Dry living rooms, bedrooms |
| Matt / Satin | Anti-slip, hides footmarks, natural look | Slightly harder to clean | Bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor |
| Anti-Skid | Maximum grip | Coarser texture, harder to clean | Bathroom floors, parking, stairs |
For Kerala homes specifically: Use matt or anti-skid tiles in all wet areas — bathrooms, kitchens, sit-outs, and parking areas. Glossy tiles in wet Kerala monsoon conditions are a slip hazard.
Granite for Kerala Homes
Granite is natural stone — harder, more durable, and more heat-resistant than any tile. In Kerala, granite is used for:
- Kitchen countertops — withstands heat from pots, knife cuts, water exposure
- Living room flooring — premium homes use granite instead of vitrified tiles
- Staircase treads — extremely durable and wear-resistant
- Bathroom countertops — for vanity units and washbasins
- Compound wall coping — protects the top of compound walls from rain

Frequently Asked Questions
What size tiles are best for a Kerala living room?
600×600mm is the most popular. For larger halls above 400 sq ft, 800×800mm gives a more spacious look with fewer grout joints.
Is granite or vitrified tile better for kitchen countertops?
Granite. It handles heat from hot pots, resists knife marks better, and lasts a lifetime. Vitrified tiles can crack from sudden heat.
Which tiles are best for Kerala bathrooms?
Matt or anti-skid finish tiles for the floor. Ceramic or vitrified for walls. Minimum 300×300mm floor tiles for adequate grip.
Do you deliver tiles to construction sites in Kannur?
Yes — free delivery across Kannur district including Iritty, Thalassery, Payyannur, and Sreekandapuram.
