About by room
A short note from the studio — what's in this view, how we curate it, and how to use it to choose.
01
Room first, tile second
Every room has its own demands — water, traffic, light. We pick the spec, not the trend.
02
Slip-rated where it matters
Bathrooms, parking, and balconies get R10+ floors. We won't sell the alternative.
03
Vitrified across the catalog
All tiles are certified and are under 0.5% water absorption — no swelling, no mould.
04
Pan-India delivery
5–9 working days from Karnal, packed and breakage-covered to the dispatch dock.
Indian homes don't have one weather. The bathroom takes water all year, the parking takes the monsoon and the summer sun, the kitchen takes oil splashes and hot pans, and the bedroom just takes your bare feet first thing in the morning. The same tile cannot do all of that well.
"By Room" is how we recommend tiles at the studio — start with the room, get the spec right for that room, then pick the look. It's a slower order, but it's how a tile lasts twenty years instead of two.
What changes from one room to another
- Water. Bathrooms, balconies, terraces, and the area around your kitchen sink stay wet long enough that water absorption matters. We default to true vitrified tiles (under 0.5% absorption, IS 15622 certified) for any wet floor — they don't darken, swell, or grow mould the way semi-vitrified ceramics can.
- Slip. A bathroom floor that looks gorgeous in the showroom can become a hazard the first time water hits it. Every wet-floor SKU on Basantile is rated R10 or above on the DIN 51130 ramp test — R10 for a regular bathroom, R11 for showers, kids' bathrooms, and ramps used by older parents.
- Format. A 60×60 floor in a small bathroom looks busy because the grout lines fragment the eye. A 60×120 or 80×80 in the same bathroom reads bigger and calmer. Larger formats on small floors is the single easiest upgrade most Indian homes are missing.
- Finish. Glossy walls wipe clean and bounce light — perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. Matt floors hide footprints and water marks — perfect for living rooms and bedrooms. Anti-skid is a floor-only need; never put it on a wall, where it just collects soap scum.
Most-asked rooms
- Bathroom Tiles — slip-rated floors, easy-wipe walls, zero compromise on water absorption.
- Kitchen Tiles — backsplash that resists oil and turmeric stains, floor that handles dropped vessels and spilled tea.
- Living Room Tiles — scratch-resistant double-charge or polished marble, sized large for the open feel.
- Bedroom Tiles — soft-matt vitrified, neutral palette, comfort underfoot.
- Balcony & Parking Tiles — anti-skid, UV-stable colour, monsoon-ready bonding.

Buyer's guide
Frequently asked
The questions our design desk hears most often — and the answers we give in person.
Ask us anything arrow_outward01 Which tile is best for an Indian bathroom? expand_more
For the floor: anti-skid vitrified, R10 minimum (R11 for showers). 60×60 cm or 60×120 cm reads larger in small bathrooms. For walls: glossy ceramic in 30×60 or 60×60 — easier to wipe down hard-water marks and soap scum. We never use matt on bathroom walls because matt holds onto scum.
02 Are vitrified tiles better than marble for the living room? expand_more
Vitrified is harder, hides scratches better, and costs less per sq.ft. — it wins on durability for a high-traffic living room with kids, pets, or office work. Marble (especially Italian marble) wins on the look and the cooling under bare feet in summer, but it scratches and stains under turmeric, lime, and red wine. If you want marble, polish-and-seal twice a year.
03 Do I need anti-skid tiles in the kitchen? expand_more
Yes for the floor near the sink and the cooking area — water and oil there are unavoidable. R10 is enough for a residential kitchen. The rest of the floor can be the same anti-skid SKU or a matt vitrified. Glossy floors in kitchens look great until someone spills tea on them.
04 What size tile works best for a small Indian bedroom? expand_more
Bigger than you think. 60×60 cm or 60×120 cm. The fewer grout lines you have on a small floor, the larger the room reads visually. Soft-matt finish hides bare-foot marks. Avoid 30×30 unless you're matching an existing floor — the small format makes the room feel chopped up.
05 Which tile is right for parking and balcony in Indian weather? expand_more
Anti-skid R11 vitrified, granite, or kota — anything with under 0.5% water absorption and a UV-stable colour. We test every outdoor SKU for monsoon-grade water absorption and two-summer colour stability before adding it to the catalog. Avoid polished tiles outdoors — one rainy week and they're a hazard.
06 Do you deliver to other cities outside Karnal? expand_more
Yes — pan-India delivery in 5-9 working days from our Karnal warehouse. Every order is packed for transit with breakage cover and a per-piece count check at dispatch. Trade orders (500+ sq.ft.) get a dedicated account, extended payment terms, and the studio's design desk on call for the build.
