1 - What are your most popular tiles?

Below you can see our most popular tile and ceramic products that we usually use in our projects. Please note that the design, color, dimensions and quality of our biscuit tiles can be adjusted according to your needs.

2 - What is the price per each sq meter of your tiles?

It depends on the design, amount of golden color we use in our tile panel design, the type of tile you need ( Moarragh, Mogharnas, Moagheli, Especial 7 Color … ), the quantity you need,  the place you want to install our tiles (installing on wall, floor, ceiling of a normal building or using on the dome or minaret of a mosque or church or in places such as swimming pools) and also the condition and the temperature or humidity of the area you want to use our tiles ( which makes difference on using waterproof or simple tile that cause changes in price ). Please mail us all those issues so we can quote you.

3 - Why designing changes the price?

The design of tile panels in all type of tiles we manufacture affects the price. If the design will be in a way that as an example in the area of 400 mm, we can have 21 objects instead of 44 objects, then the price will be lower because the number of the objects will be less and is easier to be designed and manufactured. (Below pictures: less number of objects vs. more number of objects in 400 mm space. (Also click here to watch the related movie on YouTube showing two different designs on two tile pieces of 20 X 20 cm. You see normal design will finish very quickly compared to the design which has small objects. Also check the cut pieces page to understand more in Moarragh tiles option)

Also regarding Seven Color Tiles option, please check the below pictures on 200 X 200 mm tile piece:

4 - Does the price include installation, transportation,…?

In Especial 7 color ceramic tile (since we do not do the installation for you in normal areas not in places such as mosque) the price does not include installation and you should only pay for transportation to your area, but in other options the price includes installation but does not include the expenses such as air tickets of the people coming for the installation, air / sea cargo shipments to your area, accommodation for the people coming for the installation, VISA, taxes, amount of real gold color we use on the ceramic tile panels, food allowance and insurance and materials needed for the work.
