Introduction: In the world of interior design, a tile is not just a surface—it’s the foundation of a space’s character. For those seeking elegance and enduring quality, the choice of luxury tiles is paramount. As global leaders with over 12 years of experience, Masara Ceramica has created this guide to help you understand what truly defines a premium tile and how to select the perfect fit for your next project.
What Truly Defines a Luxury Tile?
While many tiles promise quality, a true luxury tile is distinguished by a combination of factors:
- Superior Composition: It is crafted from high-quality materials that ensure unmatched durability and resistance to wear.
- Aesthetic Innovation: It features designs, finishes, and textures inspired by global architectural trends, creating a look that is both modern and timeless.
- Precision Manufacturing: Advanced technology, like the processes used to create GVT and PGVT tiles, ensures perfect dimensions, consistent color, and a flawless finish.
Understanding Your Options: GVT vs. PGVT Tiles
As a specialist in Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT) and Polished Glazed Vitrified Tiles (PGVT), Masara Ceramica offers collections that embody all three qualities of luxury tiles.
- GVT (Glazed Vitrified Tiles): These tiles feature a digitally printed glazed layer over a vitrified body. This process allows for a wide range of designs, from realistic wood and stone textures to intricate patterns.
- PGVT (Polished Glazed Vitrified Tiles): These are GVT tiles with an added layer of polish, giving them a stunning, mirror-like gloss. They are ideal for spaces where you want to maximize light and create an opulent feel.
Why they are the best choice: Both GVT and PGVT tiles are exceptionally durable, stain-resistant, and suitable for high-traffic areas, making them a wise long-term investment.
5 Key Factors to Consider Before You Buy
- Durability: Look for a PEI (Porcelain Enamel Institute) rating. For commercial or high-traffic areas, a PEI of 4 or 5 is recommended.
- Finish: Do you want a matte finish for a subtle, sophisticated look or a glossy finish to make a space feel larger and more luxurious?
- Design & Color: Consider how the tile’s design will complement the furniture, lighting, and overall theme of the room.
- Application: Will the tiles be used indoors or outdoors? In a kitchen or a bathroom? The right choice of tile depends on its intended use.
- Supplier Expertise: Partner with a manufacturer that has a proven track record of quality and can offer expert guidance, like Masara Ceramica's team.
