Get answers to common questions about carrara tiles
Carrara tiles are marble-look vitrified, porcelain, or ceramic tiles manufactured to recreate the appearance of natural Carrara marble white base surfaces with soft grey veining using digital printing technology. They are manufactured primarily in Morbi, Gujarat and are available in sizes from 600x600 mm up to 1200x1800 mm.
Yes. Highly polished glossy Carrara tiles become slippery in wet areas. Matte and satin matt finishes are the correct choice for bathroom floors and wet kitchen areas where surface grip is required. Matte finish tile orders for bathroom use have increased significantly across Morbi dispatch records over 2025–2026.
Warm light grey or slightly off-white grout is commonly preferred. White grout stains and discolours quickly in Indian kitchens and high-traffic areas, and its maintenance becomes difficult over time.
Natural Carrara marble is a softer stone requiring annual sealing — turmeric, acids, and humidity can stain or etch the surface. Porcelain Carrara tiles have very low water absorption below 0.05% to 0.5% and resist staining and cleaning chemicals far more effectively. For most Indian households, porcelain Carrara tiles are easier to maintain and more practical for kitchen and bathroom conditions.
600x600 mm and 800x800 mm are common standard sizes. 600x1200 mm and 1200x1800 mm large-format tiles are increasingly specified in premium residential and commercial installations.
Matte and honed surface finishes perform better in high-humidity and monsoon-affected regions where surface grip under wet conditions is important. Confirm surface performance properties with the supplier before purchase for these specific applications.
