Complete Guide to Flooring: Tiles, Marble, and Granite

Your floor defines the luxury level of your home. In Pakistan, the choice is usually between durable porcelain tiles and classic natural stone like marble or granite.

Tiles vs. Marble

Porcelain tiles (especially Spanish or high-end local brands like Master/Stile) are easier to maintain and stain-resistant. Natural marble (like Sunny Grey or Michaelangelo) offers a unique, timeless look but requires regular polishing and is more porous.

Calculating Waste and Spares

Always buy 5-10% more flooring material than your actual measured area. This "wastage" covers cuts around corners and provides you with spare tiles for future repairs. If you buy exact quantities, you may find that the next batch of tiles has a slightly different "shade" or "color tone", which is a common issue with both local and imported ceramics.
