How do you choose the right type of tile for your needs?

You don't need to be an architect or interior designer with years of experience. To choose the right type of tile for a construction project (a home) or to renovate a space in your home (a bedroom, for example), you just need to go over the following criteria with Saigoncasa:

Durability

• Ceramic tiles: In the ceramic tile industry, the durability of tiles is rated according to the PEI standard. PEI classifies tile surfaces from 1 to 5, with PEI 1 tiles having the lowest wear resistance and the durability of tiles increasing up to PEI 5. Most tiles can be used for walls, while floor tiles need to have relatively high durability to resist wear and tear as well as other important features (Saigoncasa has a wide range of premium floor tiles from Italy with anti-slip, chemical-resistant, and frost-resistant features...) suitable for many different spaces and purposes.
• Natural stone: Natural stone is quarried from natural stone quarries, so it certainly cannot follow the evaluation standards applied to ceramic tiles. However, natural stone has been used for thousands of years in major structures throughout human history, and to this day, the durability and beauty of this material have never been underestimated. If you love this type of stone, you can visit Saigoncasa's showroom or website to get the latest designs with the help of the Sales team and Facebook Admin.
• Other options: Saigoncasa is always looking for new, high-quality materials with perfect beauty for both walls and floors (and 100% made in Italy). Currently, Saigoncasa has wood-look tiles, metal-look tiles, mosaic tiles, wood flooring, natural stone... in many colors, sizes, patterns... giving you more choices.
• Technical specifications: Saigoncasa updates the specifications of each collection on the company website. You can visit www.saigoncasa.com for more information as well as product perspective images (helping you visualize the space when installing tiles in your home).

Size options

•  Major companies produce many types of tiles in a variety of sizes, from tiny mosaic tiles to large-format tiles (used for hotel lobbies, restaurants...). As an Italian tile distributor, Saigoncasa has many tile designs in various sizes. By using large-format tiles, you can make a room look larger while limiting the impact of patterns (in case you don't want too many patterns in one room) in the construction spaces.

Color options

Of course, you will choose the colors you like, but Saigoncasa will add a few small tips on color tones so you can achieve the effect you want...

• Light tones make the space look larger.
• Dark tones bring coziness.
• Neutral tones allow you to easily change the furniture and accompanying items.
• Bright colors bring freshness and assert your personality.

While tiles may look identical, each tile has variations in color, light, glossiness... bringing depth and individuality to the space. Both ceramic tiles and natural stone come in a variety of designs and sizes. When you visit the Saigoncasa showroom, you can ask the staff to lay out a few tile samples you like on the floor to get an overall and panoramic view. And all your concerns will be answered by the support team, and you should make sure this is done before making a purchasing decision.

Style options

• Stone is a popular choice because it suits all decorating styles. Saigoncasa has stone-look tile collections produced by major companies in Italy, and you can hardly tell the difference from natural stone, while having more choices of surface patterns on the tiles.
• Wood-look tiles are another excellent choice. Saigoncasa's wood-look tile collections always receive the most likes and comments on the company's Facebook page.
• Marble with its timeless beauty is compatible with all design styles.
• Metal-look tiles – another option – can bring an extremely luxurious look and are suitable for most indoor spaces.
