How much extra tiles should I buy for wastage?+
Buy 10% extra for standard tiles and 15% for large-format tiles (>4 sqft), marble, or granite. Wastage accounts for cuts at edges, corners, and any breakage during installation. Always buy from the same batch (matching dye lot) to avoid colour variation.
Which tile is best for living room in India?+
Vitrified tiles (GVT/PGVT) are the most popular for Indian living rooms: durable, low maintenance, wide size options (800×800 to 1200×1200mm), and available in marble-look finishes at a fraction of marble's cost. Polished vitrified tiles look premium but are slippery when wet — use them in dry areas.
What is the labour cost for floor tile installation in India?+
Tile installation labour costs in India range from ₹18–28/sqft for ceramic, ₹22–35/sqft for vitrified, and ₹35–60/sqft for marble or granite (which requires more skill). Large-format tiles (>4 sqft) add ₹8/sqft more. Always confirm whether the quote includes adhesive and grouting materials.
