Probably the most crucial mistake that some buyers make when sourcing floor tiles from India is the failure to consider certain characteristics of the tile. Attributes such as surface texture, density or thickness and slip resistance are key in determining proper type of tiles to use in particular areas. For instance, tiles with increased ability of slipperiness are more appropriate for application indoors, in wash rooms or outdoors, while the thicker or tougher tiles are more appropriate in zones of intensive traffic such as kitchens.

Focusing Solely on Aesthetics

Another key error when purchasing floor tiles from India is forgetting the important features of the tiles such as the color of the grouts and surface polish. It is common to find so many customers concentrating only on the pattern on the tiles and forgetting that the grout line is equally important. The color of the grout used can be uncomplimentary to the tiles while the finish affects not only the looks but also the performance.

As for the texture, at Bluetone Ceramic, we propose a shed full of glossiness finishing to matte finishing for different style. We also advise our clients on matching grout color with their floor tile designs and layout to give clients that perfect finish.

Overlooking Proper Sizing and Quality Assurance

A common error which people make while buying floor tiles from India is to fail in proper planning of sizing and tile layout. This results in wastage of ceramic and tiles, mismatch of tiles, and unbalanced designs that do not look good. While engaging in home improvement or redesigning a house, the homeowner and designers may encounter some expensive processes or unattractive outcomes which if not well managed may cause delays. To avoid this, it is very important to take measurements of the space that is to be occupied and the layout in advance if the purchase is to be made.

Some other typical mistakes that buyers make while purchasing the floor tiles from India are they do not pay attention to the required grout colors and the tile finish. The choice of the right grout color may look perfect on tiles but can spoil the look of the kitchen, and on the other hand choosing the wrong finish not only spoils the look of the kitchen but also is bad for usage. For instance, a glossy finish might appeal for a living room but not for a bathroom where the flooring has to be slip-resistant.

Disregarding Shipping and Sample Testing

When sourcing the floor tiles in India, most buyers have failed to consider the issue of shipping duration, cost, and even quality. Non inclusion of these into the equation can lead to delayed time, damaged products, or inferior tiles that may not meet expectations. Shipment methods can also threaten the quality of the tiles by the time they reach their destination or needed location.

Another mistake that is often observed when purchasing floor tiles from India is when clients tend to miss out on the trial of samples. As a result of not testing a sample, customers may be disappointed by the color, texture or material of the tiles once they are installed. Something that may appear perfect on the camera or photo shoot might not look the same in the light or in actual life. This can lead to reworks and frustration and therefore must be avoided at all costs.

Some of these common mistakes include failure to consider tile specifications, basing your selection purely on tile appearance or disregarding the need to test sample tiles while buying floor tiles from India.
