Branded Vs Local Tiles: Which Is The Best Flooring Option?

We all want to give our home a heartwarming look that eases out all our tension and gives a sense of relief. When choosing the decor for our office space, we want a look that gives energising vibes and inspires us to work hard.

But, here comes the task when you choose tiles for your home. Usually, people look for a budget-friendly and durable option that abodes beauty and charm to our space.

Plus, thousands of tiles are available with eye-catching designs, patterns and magnificent colours that make selecting the perfect tile for your home quite overwhelming.

Difference Between Branded Tiles And Local Tiles

People often get blinded by the price tag, buy the product with a lower price and then face the consequences; it is a completely wrong thing and should be avoided at any cost.

Here are some basic differences between branded and local tiles, and let’s see who wins the battle.

Consistent Quality : 

Did you receive your packages of tiles? Did you check for inconsistencies in designs, thickness, patterns, sizes, colours, and quality in tiles from the same pack?

This is a common scenario if you buy tiles from local manufacturers. It’s not a time thing, but you have to face this sometimes.

As a result of poor quality control, local tiles are often inconsistent and have minor flaws in their products.

On the other hand, the branded tiles are made up of the latest technology, with a strict manufacturing process and stringent quality measures to follow and make the best quality tiles for your space.

Wide Range :

Do you want a tile with different designs and patterns? With the latest printing technology, you can get hundreds of tiles with different designs and patterns.

Many branded companies also offer nano-finish tiles to make them stronger and more water-repellant.

Do you want custom tiles? No worries, branded tile companies have the latest technologies to manufacture the tile you want in different patterns and designs.

You can undoubtedly find different designs and patterns from local brands too, but not the custom-made and design options are limited here.

Availability :

One of the main differences between branded and local tiles is their availability. So, imagine you are renovating your living room, but unfortunately, you run out of stock for the tiles. In this situation, you will try to contact the dealer, right?

• In the case of local tiles, there are slight chances that you will get the same tiles. There is a high chance that the dealer would have run out of stock.

• Another thing here is local tile manufacturers available in some regions of the country, narrowing your chances of getting the same tiles.

Durability:

Both branded and non-branded tiles do not differ much when it comes to the durability factor. However, branded tiles last longer than non-branded or local tiles.

Tile companies have strong R&D, technological innovation and skilled workers; these features hugely impact their manufacturing process and product quality giving durable tiles to adorn your space for decades. These all features come with guaranteed performance.

Uniform Pricing:

Have you ever faced a situation when there are two different prices for the same tiles? It generally happens when you buy tiles from local tile dealers.

Local tiles are cheaper than branded tiles, per their distribution network. So you can find different prices for tiles at different locations.

While branded tiles follow one price rule pan-India, so you find the same pricing of tiles in every state of the country.

Ending Words

Branded or Local tiles may look the same at first instance, but they are miles apart in terms of quality, standards, pricing, and availability.
