Large-format
600×600 up to 800×1600 — few joints, calm floors, almost seamless walls. Needs a flat substrate to sit true.
Tiles
Chosen for wet feet.
Then for looks.
A gorgeous tile with the wrong slip rating is a hospital visit waiting for a bad morning. We start with the R number, then find you something beautiful inside that set — because on a wet bathroom floor, physics gets the first vote and pattern gets the second.
Non-negotiableThe R number
The R number
comes first.
It's printed on every box and almost nobody looks. Matt isn't the same as anti-skid — a matt R9 is still a skating rink with soap on it. R10 is our minimum anywhere water lands, R11 in a shower. We choose inside the safe set, never outside it.

How we choose tileSix checks before
Six checks before
the pretty one.
Every tile decision is made twice — once for physics, once for looks — and we always run physics first. These six checks happen before the pretty option even makes the shortlist.

nobody photographs.
01
Movement joints
Every 4–5 m and at edges
A big tiled floor expands and contracts with the day's heat. Break it with soft joints or on a hot afternoon it lifts and tents in the middle.
02
Wet-area falls
Roughly 1:60 to the drain
A level shower floor holds a puddle at your feet. We build the screed to a gentle fall so every drop finds the outlet on its own.
03
Floor build-up
Adhesive and tile add height
The finished floor sits higher than the bare slab. We plan door clearances and level thresholds so nothing catches and rooms meet flush.
04
Adhesive coverage
Back-buttered, no voids
A tile stuck on five dabs sounds hollow and cracks the first time it's knocked. We bed it fully so the whole tile is supported, not just the corners.
05
Uncoupling layer
Over young or cracked slabs
A fresh or hairline-cracked slab keeps moving after the tile goes down. A decoupling membrane lets it shift underneath without telegraphing up through the joints.
06
Curing time
Set before it's grouted
Grouted or walked too soon, the bed hasn't gripped and tiles drift out of line. We let it cure on its own schedule rather than the site's hurry.

02
Anti-skid & mosaic
300×300 and smaller on shower floors and wet zones — barefoot-safe on a soapy slope, and small enough to take the fall.
03
Subway & feature
75×300 runs and patterned inlays — all grout, all character, for backsplashes and one wall worth the fuss. Epoxy only.
In motion
The floor you'll walk
wet a thousand times.
Tile is the one surface you meet barefoot and dripping. Everything we recommend is chosen for that moment first — grip underfoot, grout that stays clean — and looks second, because the looks are the easy part.
SafetyMatt is not
Matt is not
anti-skid.
People assume a matt finish means grip. It doesn't — the R rating does, and it's printed right there on the box. We hold to R10 where water lands and R11 in a shower, then find something beautiful that clears that bar.
- R10 minimum anywhere water reaches the floor
- R11 on shower trays and soapy slopes
- The R number decides it, not the finish name
- A wet-sample walk before anything is ordered
LongevityEpoxy grout,
Epoxy grout,
no argument.
The tile rarely fails — the grout does. Cement grout drinks in soap and body oil and turns black inside a humid Bangalore bathroom within about eighteen months. Epoxy costs a little more per foot and stays white for years.

They made us walk on a wet sample before we chose. Obvious, in hindsight.

Questions
Asked often
Big, almost everywhere — fewer grout lines means less to clean and a calmer floor. The exception is a shower floor, where you need small tiles to take the fall to the drain without lipping.
Matt isn't the same as anti-skid. Look for the R rating on the box, not the finish. R10 minimum anywhere that gets wet, R11 in a shower. A matt R9 is still a skating rink with soap on it.
Technically yes, and we usually advise against it in bathrooms — you're adding height, you can't inspect the waterproofing underneath, and you've inherited whatever was wrong before.
