Elfin Tiles Bangalore, Karnataka

Limestone is another type of natural stone tile. To achieve a truly rustic style filled with natural tones, shades, and variation, lay down limestone tile, Castellano says. It delivers a natural appearance thats almost reminiscent of ancient architecture and design. Durable but soft, limestone is also easy to shape and cut for specific patterns and placements

Like limestone, travertine tile offers a natural, one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Its soft, subdued palette provides beautiful neutral tones, Castellano says. From gray to tan and beige, its swirling surface produces an elegant and unique statement.

Vitrified tiles contain silica, quartz, and feldspar (these are the same minerals found in granite) which gives them a glassy texture. The vitrification process makes these tiles highly impermeable to water, hence they do need any glazing. However polished and glazed vitrified tiles are also commercially available.

These are concrete blocks which are the cheapest of all tiles, also they can be laid directly on level ground. They are mainly of interlocking type, which can be easily replaced if damaged. They are mostly suitable for pathways and patios.

These have no glazing and the scratches and dents are not visible easily, unlike glazed tiles. They are used in both commercial and residential areas. They usually have a non-reflective matte finish and often have granular surface.
