Friends....there is a sea of difference between the non-branded gujarat tiles & the branded ones. the gujarat ones look more appealing than any of the branded ones. however, when it comes to strength & the shine, the gujarat ones literally fail. personally speaking, i have been using the johnson tiles at my place for the past 12 years & they appear as good as new. i also have seen many gujarat tiles, loose their shine in 2 year life span.

Hi.
All vitrifies tiles are brought from china ,except BELL (it was few years back) , u can go for any brand who can provide you service- incase if u have shade variations/ bends in tiles.

Prefer - wetern marbo - nitco- marbonite/etc.

check /ask for same batch no before buying.

I am shopping for vitrified tiles and bathroom wall tiles now. I have shortlisted Johnson Marbonite stain free (Nano)
and Nitco Magic Flow Nano series and here the prices I am getting for them.

Johnson Marbonite Stain free - Rs 48.50 / SFT (2 x2) ( Final price)
Nitco Magic flow Nano series - Rs 53 /SFT ( Quoted price and Dealer said he will revert with final price this week)

Both of these ranges have some patterns that I can choose from. Dealers applied permanent marker on these tiles and showed
that the stains could be wiped out with a wet cloth. And they promised that they will provide tiles from same batch.

Did any of you buy Johnson marbonite or Nitco recently and could you share your thoughts on quality of this tiles as well as the price?

Thanks,
Selva

If someone is interested in group buying & if you happen to choose Orient Tiles (BELL) as a product, they do entertain retail sale if the quantity is big enough - billing close to 1 lakh.

Advantages - Dealer price
Cost difference - dealer markup + VAT (14.5) - close to 20 to 25% is what you will save.

There is something called as "deleted designs". These are the designs which are discontinued & end up in the warehouse. The discounts on this are very huge. Example - For the parking, i bought a deleted design. It costs 75 to the company. He sold it to me at 49. The same at the showroom retails at 120.

Contact - Post your requirement in the company website, if interested, their representative will get back to you!!

I bought tiles for my kichen, bathoom and store room from the brand ICON. For the kitchen, I chose the wood-finish tiles, while for the bathroom and store I went with the non-slip checkered tile.

The former cost Rs.42, while the latter was 38. Since my requirement was for 300-400sqft, I could not get much discount, but surely for a 1000sqft+ job, the pricing could be as a low as Rs.38 and Rs.35 respectively.

The tiles are not bad, in the purpose they orignally set out to serve - wood-finish and non-slip. Just 2-3 defective tiles found.

Hope this helps!
