Checkout the above link. I find the colour and design of these tiles most appealing. But i doubt whether they can be used for flooring. Usually the vitrified tiles i have seen in show rooms are all white / gray colors. Not such bright colours. I have seen only ceramic tiles of such bright colours.

At the bottom of the page there is a link named "Technical Specification". Per this link, i can see that it can be used for flooring. But i cannot see whether this is vitrified tiles or ceramic tiles. Can someone with knowledge / experience clarify whether these tiles are vitrified tiles that can be used for flooring?

the terracotta, sunglow and the green will look good I think. Particularly the terracotta - which will make it look like antique mexican/italian floors. Although the sample shows the blue for flooring - I am not so sure that will look good.

I was told these are good for flooring. ONly I could not tell if they are vitrified tiles or not. (sorry).

blrsiteseeker, Who told you that these are good for flooring? Architect or seller of nitco tiles or someone else?

Hi sreekbda,
They are ceramic tiles.You do get these kind of vitrified rustic finishes in RAK, Imported spain tiles etc..Most of them are premium range(above 150/- per sft) and the other important thing is that they are rustic in surface like they look.These are very good looking ethnic feel tiles,if you love ethnic,natural finishes go for it.Don't expect fine joints .Uneven is the beauty of nature.

sreek - it was my architect who showed me some of these and said they were good.

Praveen - how is the quality. If they are so expensive, I assume they are good - am I right?
