Tile buying guides for importers and specifiers
Written for importers, distributors and project purchasing teams. Each guide answers a question that comes up before a container is booked — no product brochure language.
Porcelain vs Ceramic Subway Tile
Both are called subway tile. One handles wet areas without sealing, the other gives you glazes a porcelain body cannot hold. Choose by room, not by price.

Joint width changes a wall more than the tile does. Here is how 2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm read, and which grout to put in them.
Terracotta Wall Tiles: Sealing and Maintenance for Commercial Projects
Terracotta is porous by nature. Sealing slows staining, it does not make the tile waterproof — and it changes the colour.
Specifying Handmade-Look Tiles for a Hotel
Hotels need the look of handmade tile with the repeatability of an industrial body — and a batch plan that survives phase two.
