If you are planning to renovate a home, office or commercial space, the tile brand you choose is a decision you live with for fifteen years. Tiles are more than flooring — they set the tone for style, durability and comfort. Here are the five tile brands we trust most on our own showroom floor, and exactly who each one is best for.
Kajaria Ceramics — India’s largest tile manufacturer
Why it ranks first: Kajaria is India’s largest and most trusted tile manufacturer, and it earned that position. Across a wide range of ceramic and vitrified tiles, it blends real durability with cutting-edge digital printing — designs that look imported at Indian prices.
What they offer
- Floor and wall tiles across every room
- Designer bathroom and kitchen tiles
- Finishes: glossy, matte, wood, rustic
Best for: Premium looks, high strength, and long-lasting performance.
Somany Ceramics — technology-led tiles
Why it is top-tier: Somany is known for style paired with genuinely useful technology — VC Shield for surface hardness, Slip Shield for wet-area safety, and smart tiles that help manage temperature and moisture.
What they offer
- Wall and floor tiles
- Digital and polished vitrified tiles
- Collections for both traditional and modern spaces
Best for: Homes that want tech-driven, stylish and safe tile solutions.
H&R Johnson — built on reliability
Why it stands out: One of the oldest tile brands in India, H&R Johnson is known for reliable performance and sheer variety — products that work as well in a living room as on a heavy-duty commercial floor.
What they offer
- Indoor and outdoor tiles
- Anti-skid and stain-resistant designs
- Bath fittings and engineered marble
Best for: Homes and businesses needing tough, functional, stylish tiles.
Orientbell — modern designs, smart tools
Why it is rising fast: Modern designs backed by tech-savvy features. Their online tile visualizer lets you see a tile in your own room before you buy — which is why homeowners and architects both like it. Our director spent over a decade with Orient Bell before opening this showroom.
What they offer
- Ceramic, vitrified and germ-free tiles
- Full-body and “Forever Tiles” for durability
- Affordable, trend-led styles
Best for: DIY makeovers and interior design projects.
RAK Ceramics — luxury-grade aesthetics
Why it is elite: RAK is a luxury tile brand known for aesthetic excellence and durability. Its marble-look and stone-look tiles rival Italian imports at a fraction of the price — the name architects specify for premium homes, hotels and commercial buildings.
What they offer
- Marble-look and stone-look tiles
- Nano-coated, dry-pressed tiles
- Large-format slabs, plus sanitaryware
Best for: High-end spaces seeking elegance and performance.
How to choose the right tile for your space
Brand matters less than picking the right tile for the room. After years on the showroom floor, this is the advice we give every customer:
- Bathrooms and balconies: anti-skid or matte finish, always — gloss plus water is a genuine hazard.
- Kitchens: glossy tiles for easy cleaning; avoid heavy texture near the hob where oil collects.
- Living rooms: matte or wooden-look tiles for warmth underfoot.
- Small spaces: large-format tiles with fewer joints make a room feel bigger.
- Parking and outdoors: heavy-duty full-body tiles that survive vehicle load and sun.
- Style tip: marble-look or wood-look vitrified gives a luxury feel at sensible rates.
One honest warning before you buy
Tile shade varies between production batches, and a design that looks right on a phone screen can feel completely wrong across 400 square feet. Always see the tile laid out at full size, check the batch number on the boxes you are actually buying, and take a sample home to view in your own light. Any dealer who will not let you do this is not worth buying from.

Common questions
Which tile brand is best in India?
There is no single best brand — it depends on the room and the budget. Orientbell leads on design range and its online tile visualizer, Somany on technology and large formats, Kajaria on nationwide availability, RAK Ceramics on premium finishes, and H&R Johnson on trusted everyday value. For most Indian homes the practical shortlist is Orientbell, Somany and RAK Ceramics.
What is GVT tile and how is it different from vitrified tile?
GVT stands for Glazed Vitrified Tile. It is a vitrified tile with a printed glaze layer on top, which allows marble, wood and stone looks that plain vitrified tiles cannot reproduce. Vitrified tiles are dense and low-porosity throughout; GVT adds the surface design.
Which tile is best for a bathroom floor?
Choose an anti-skid or matt-finish tile with a low water absorption rate. Glossy tiles look good but are slippery when wet. Most brands mark bathroom-suitable tiles clearly, and any of the brands in this guide make an anti-skid range.
How much do good tiles cost in Jaipur?
Prices vary widely by size, finish and brand. Rather than quote a figure that dates quickly, we price to the actual room and quantity — send the room measurements on WhatsApp to +91 93510 09254 and we will share current rates.
Are these tile brands available in Jaipur?
Yes. Modern Home Decor is an authorised dealer for Orientbell, Somany and RAK Ceramics, with full-size displays on Floor 02 of our showroom at 7 Block A, 100 Ft. Road, Narayan Vihar, Jaipur.
