Natural vs. Factory

For budget projects (schools, hospitals, hostels), the choice is often Kota Stone or Ceramic Tiles.

The Breakdown

  • Price: Kota stone is often cheaper per sqft than branded vitrified tiles.
  • Life: Tiles chip and the glaze wears off in 10 years. Kota stone lasts 100 years and can be re-polished 5-6 times.
  • Joints: Kota is usually laid with zero-joints (paper joint), creating a hygienic seamless floor. Tiles need grout which gets dirty.

Winner: For long-term ROI, Kota Stone wins easily.
