Get answers to common questions about 300x300 mm tiles
300x300mm equals 1 foot by 1 foot about 12x12 inches. That's why they're sold as 1x1 tiles or 1x1 feet tiles in most Indian shops.
Roughly 11 tiles cover one square meter. A standard box usually holds 8–10 tiles, covering around 0.72–0.90 sq m depending on the maker. Always buy 5–10% extra for cuts and breakage and 10–15% for diagonal layouts. For an exact count, run your room dimensions through a tile coverage calculator or confirm the final quantity with your dealer before ordering.
Yes, especially for shower floors, because the small size handles the slope toward the drain cleanly. Stick to matt or anti-skid finishes for grip never glossy on a wet floor.

Yes, but factory-direct usually means an MOQ of around 5,000–10,000 sq ft and a 3–10 day lead time. For a single home, a dealer is simpler; for a project, going direct gets you better rates and single-batch consistency. Before you commit, confirm the batch is from one production run for your whole area.
