Kmiainfo : Tile work in Residential house or building

It really depends on which part of your house — bathroom, living room, outdoors — because each area has different needs (water resistance, durability, safety, style). Here’s how you can match tile-types to those areas in a residential house

🛁 Bathroom :::----

Recommended tile types :-

1. Porcelain tiles — These are dense, durable and have very low water absorption. Perfect for wet, moisture-prone bathrooms. 

2. Vitrified tiles (glazed or glazed-vitrified) — Also good for bathrooms, especially for floors and walls due to their stain-resistance and minimal porosity. 

3. Matte or textured finish tiles — For floors, matte / anti-slip surface is safer (slip risk is high with water). 

4. Glazed ceramic tiles — For walls (shower area / walls behind washbasin / bathtub), since they are easier to clean and come in many design options. 

Why these work: Bathrooms are wet and humid — so you want tiles that resist water absorption, resist stains, and ideally offer slip-resistance underfoot. 

🛋️ Living Room (Interior Floors and Walls) :::----

Recommended tile types :-

1. Porcelain tiles — Durable, low-maintenance, and available in many styles (stone-look, wood-look, glossy or matte). Good for both floor and wall. 

2. Vitrified tiles — Especially if you expect moderate-to-heavy traffic in living room; durable and long-lasting. 

3. Ceramic tiles (especially glazed) — If your living room is lightly used or you prefer budget-friendly options, ceramic wall-tiles or low-traffic floor-tiles can work. 

4. Large-format tiles — These help the room look spacious by reducing visible grout lines and creating a seamless floor. 

Why these work: Living room usually gets moderate foot traffic and is mostly dry — so you want tiles that balance durability, easy maintenance, and aesthetics (color, design, finish). 

🌳 Outdoor / Exterior / Balcony / Patio Areas :::----

Recommended tile types :-

1. Porcelain tiles — Because of their density, strength, and low water absorption, porcelain works well outdoors (patios, balconies, verandas). 

2. Full-body vitrified tiles / Double-charge tiles / Outdoor-grade vitrified tiles — These are strong, durable, and resistant to weather, stains, and wear — ideal for exterior floors. 

3. Textured / Anti-skid finishes — Important for outdoor areas (or covered but exposed areas) to prevent slipping when wet (from rain, washing, etc.). 

Why these work: Outdoors and semi-outdoors faces exposure to weather, foot traffic, moisture — so durability, water-/stain-resistance, and slip-resistance matter a lot.
