Glossy brightens smaller spaces and reflects more light, while matte and sugar finishes hide fingerprints and water spots better on daily-use surfaces like kitchen backsplashes. For wet-area floors specifically, avoid glossy or PGVT finishes entirely due to slip risk, and always confirm the manufacturer's published anti-slip rating before ordering.

Exact tile count per box varies by brand, so confirm coverage per box with your dealer before ordering. As a rule of thumb, order 5–10% extra for standard layouts and 15–20% extra for herringbone or chevron patterns and always keep one spare box from the same batch for future repairs.

Price varies by brand and location verify with your local tile dealer. All purchases attract 18% GST, and factory-direct orders from Morbi typically dispatch within 3–10 working days, usually at a noticeably lower rate than metro retail pricing for the same specification.
