Vitrified which brand?

[cvl]

Hi,

I am planned to use vitrified tiles for flooring. I could see many brands in the market like Johnson, Khajaria, Regent etc. Can any professionals suggest a good one please?

Thanks,
Cvl

I am not a professional, but thought of sharing my experience. Recently, I had done so much of research and visited almost all shops in and around central and south Bengaluru.
Considering the Cost and Quality, I would suggest you to go for Khajaria. They have something called Nano series, where they have additional layer of matt finishing. You would get it for around 46/- for a 2'x2' tile.
What I had noticed with respect to the quality among these brands is that they are almost of the same quality and only the brand value making the difference. I had bought mine at South Indian Ceramics, who are the authorized dealers for Khajaria.

tech4pk,

I have visited khajaria showroom and I have not seen the matt finish 2x2 tiles for the price that you have quoted. Can you share the tile model number and series name of the tile ?

Thanks

I think that they are called Nano series, and model range starts from 6001 to 6018

I dont suggest Khajaria. I bought 3000 sqr feet tiles from Khajaria for my newly built house. Though they say they have factory in India, only few series are made in India. Rest of them are made in China. You can imagine the quality. When we started laying we observed that majority of the tiles are not getting aligned with each other ! The surface is not even. We called their call centre,distrubution centre, sales team. None of them are ready to come and see what happends. Horrile support and stupid people I ever dealt with. Dont ever think of buying it. I have few snaps of how the tiles are laid highlighting the issues. I will publish it and send you the link soon. I couldnt publish it in this forus as upload is not working in this forum. The file path is getting reset every time.

I heard RAK is ok but the price range is high.

What about somany ? Is it a good brand ?

I went to Nitco showroom near cubbon road, they have good collection. the new digital print looks very nice. I asked the showroom guy what kind of guarantee or warranty they give on tiles, he said none and also mentioned it is same across the industry.

My neighbor think digital print tiles may fade after sometime

Previously I was thinking I will get full house done with vitrified with two colors (common area and bedroom) at the price range of 80 to 100sqft (digital print),
Now I am thinking of having common area done using granite (Rs. 100 to 120 sqft range) and bedroom and kitchen in vitrified but at lesser cost (rs 50 to 60 sqft), to balance the cost.

However looking at other threads in the forum regarding granite chipping, color changing, cracking after laying I am so confused now.

the main problem is I do not have knowledge or experience selecting granite.
