Ceramic tiles are more porous and generally used for walls, while vitrified tiles are denser, more water-resistant, and better for flooring. Choosing wrong can mean costly replacements later. Come see both types side by side at our store and we’ll help you pick correctly the first time.

Vitrified tiles have a printed design layer, full-body vitrified tiles carry the pattern through the entire thickness (so chips don’t show), and double-charged tiles offer a thicker patterned layer for better durability. This distinction significantly affects long-term appearance and cost. Visit our showroom for a side-by-side technical comparison before you commit to a large order.

Large-format tiles need high-strength, low-shrinkage adhesive and appropriately sized grout joints to prevent lippage and cracking. Getting this wrong is one of the most common — and expensive — installation mistakes. We advise on the right adhesive and grout system for every largeformat order we supply.

Some are, some aren’t — it depends entirely on the tile’s finish and slip-resistance rating, which most online listings don’t even mention. This is exactly the kind of detail that matters for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. Visit us and we’ll point you to tiles genuinely rated safe for each part of your home.

Look for ISO certification and a verifiable track record with reputable clients — both signal consistent quality control and reliability. Ritu Stones is ISO 9001:2008 certified and has supplied clients including ITC, DLF, and Ambience Mall since 1991. Visit our showroom and see that track record reflected in the material itself.

A common rule is 10% extra for cutting waste and future repairs.
