Tiles Price: Why Tile Prices Differ

There are many factors that play a role in Tiles Price, from the materials used to the specific technology employed in their creation, their rating and structure. It is also important to also keep the cost of labour in actually laying tiles as this can sometimes effect the decision making process in your next design project.

Tile Materials & Manufacturing Processes

As one would expect, certain natural tile materials will cost more than standard ceramic or porcelain finishes. Natural stones such as marble, slate or terrazzo will all fall on the higher end of the Tiles Price scale due to their extensive mining and preparation process as well as the product’s scarcity. Precious metals will also attract a higher price tag of course, with specialty materials such as yellow gold for example, being priced with respect to the current cost of the material on the market.

Man-made materials such as ceramic and porcelain tiles are generally much more cost effective than natural products, with ceramic tiles often being the most economical choice of the two thanks to their lighter density and weight.

Ceramic tiles are most commonly used as wall tiles because they are lighter and softer, making them easier to work with. Porcelain tiles price are more expensive to purchase and install, but they are much thicker and denser, making them a better choice for wall and floor tiles because of their increased durability, longevity, and strength.

Porcelain tiles Price, that have been specifically created to simulate the look of a natural product (such as marble) can often range in price as a result of the type of printing technology used in their manufacture.

 A screen printing process for example, will show some repetition in the pattern of the tiles as well as a sort of ‘picture frame effect’ where the screen printer has not come into contact with the tile’s edges.

On the more costly side of the scale however, porcelain tiles that have been printed with the use of digital technology will allow for a much crisper, varied and overall more realistic finish, with digital printing allowing for a better quality result that manages to capture the depth and variations seen in natural products, thus fetching the higher Tiles price tag.
