we r having master tiles in our house ,,,after every cleaning they r just like new,u can even see ur face in it...
other brands like sonic emko etc etc r just for 2-4 yrz after it their colour will fade out....
master retains its shine, colour n glamour for about 13-15 yrz.
go for MASTER but remmber hire a professional person to fit them other can ruin the beauty

I heard the glazed master tiles are slippery and more so when floor is wet.

Daer Rahim
since you live in KSA you must have noticed all shopping malls are filled with ceramic and porcelain tiles. There are number off brand and qualities available and so is the case in Pakistan.

Infect this is an era of ceramic flooring and people use rugs but the wall to wall carpeting is completely out. You can find very easily find local as well as imported tiles in Pakistan and the rate varies from Rs. 800 to 2000/m2 .

Wide range of color scheme and pattern are also available and it is not difficult to find some thing of your taste. But the most important is workmanship and you need to hire good team to lay your flooring.

I would like to suggest use lighter colour and minimum design pattern it will help to give brighter completion and fair reception.

I would recommend you to visit Butt Sons on Main Ferozpur Road, Lahore. You will find a variety of tiles there. They are promoting local as well as imported tiles and sanitary-wear. They can also provide you professional workers for the installation.

Dear Tahir
In wash room floor non glazed tiles are used while room tiles are recommended to clean with damp cloth containing very little water so no chance of slipping

Can some Brother throw light on comparison of ceramic tile versus marble tile for their respective cost and durability.

Well ceramic or marble.
It is a matter of taste and both equally resolve object of flooring Marble gives homier look where as porcelain / ceramic give commercial impression. Marble needs more maintenance where as ceramic just require wet mob and nothing else.

Marble get stained tear off and may require major maintenance i.e. grinding and re-polishing after few years therefore use thick marble to accommodate future maintenance

I will suggest marble on Ist floor and ceramic for ground. Use only ceramic in kitchen and baths and no marble at all except work top of kitchen.

Always keep few tiles/marble psc.in spare for future replacement if gets damaged.

Thanks Mr jk for your valuable advice, how about cost comparison
jk replied on Thursday, December 8, 2011 10:25 PM 

Cost wise there is not much difference. it will cost between Rs.800 to 2000/ m2 Both ceramic and marble are avilble in cheap and expencive farm and you have to seclect within your budget. use average size tile i.e minimum 30x30 and maximum 60x60cm where as 40 or 50cm square tiles are ideal.
