All About Vitrified Tiles: The Only Guide You’ll Need in 2025

If you're exploring flooring options, you’ve probably come across vitrified tiles. But what exactly are they—and why is everyone using them?

Here’s everything you need to know about vitrified tiles, from types and finishes to sizes and prices. Whether you’re redoing your living room or choosing outdoor tiles for a balcony, this guide has you covered.

What Are Vitrified Tiles?

Vitrified tiles are made from a blend of clay, silica, quartz, and feldspar, baked at very high temperatures. The result? A tile that’s:

• Extremely durable

• Stain and moisture resistant

• Low maintenance

• Modern and stylish

  Perfect for homes, offices, and even heavy-use areas.

Types of Vitrified Tiles and Where to Use Them

1. Double Charge Vitrified Tiles
These are thicker, with two layers of pigment. They’re great for high-traffic areas like hallways, showrooms, and commercial spaces.

2. Full Body Vitrified Tiles
The color runs through the entire tile. These are scratch-resistant and ideal for stairs, parking areas, balconies, and outdoor use.

3. Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT)
These tiles have a glazed top layer and often come in digitally printed designs. Use them in living rooms, bedrooms, and walls for a designer look.

4. Polished Glazed Vitrified Tiles (PGVT)
Ultra-glossy, luxurious finish. Perfect for modern interiors like kitchens and bathrooms.

5. Anti-Skid Vitrified Tiles
These tiles come with a rough or matte texture and are best suited for bathrooms, outdoor spaces, and wet areas.

Common Sizes in Vitrified Tiles

Vitrified tiles come in a variety of sizes to suit different needs. Some of the popular ones include:

• 300x300 mm: Ideal for small areas like bathrooms or utility spaces

• 600x600 mm (2x2 feet): Great for bedrooms, kitchens, and living rooms

• 600x1200 mm (2x4 feet): Best for larger rooms and open layouts

• 800x800 mm: Works well in modern homes and office floors

• 1200x1200 mm and 1200x2400 mm: Premium, seamless tiles for luxurious spaces

• 800x1600 mm and 600x2400 mm: Often used for designer walls, kitchens, and open-plan floors

Thickness and Durability

Tile thickness generally ranges from:

• 8 to 10 mm: For regular indoor use

• 12 mm: Slightly heavier-duty tiles

• 15 mm or more: For outdoor use, parking areas, or driveways

The thicker the tile, the more durable it is—especially important for areas with heavy footfall.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

2. Which is better: double charge or full body vitrified tiles?
   Double charge vitrified tiles have a thicker top layer with dual color designs, ideal for areas needing style and durability. Full body vitrified tiles have uniform color and design throughout the tile and are best for heavy-duty commercial or industrial use.
