Lifestyles have been ch­anging rapidly over the last ten years. So have the ta­stes of people when it comes to building or decorating their dr­eam homes. The use of tiles that was traditionally confined to the decoration of walls and floors of bathrooms or kitchens has now been extended to decorating bedrooms and drawing rooms as well. But functional aspects going beyong the aesthetic are also being catered to these days, more so in the case of flooring.

Tiles are a beautiful and practical addition to any home but floor tiles can sometimes be slippery, especially during monsoon which has set in. Keeping this in mind, Nitco Tiles has come up with a range of striking and easy to maintain 'anti-skid' tiles. Every single tile in the anti-skid range is crafted using state-of-the-art, high precision technology to make the tiles world-class.

“Nitco’s anti-skid tiles are highly recommended for constructions in the open because they are very durable and able to cope with different weather conditions. Ceramic and terracotta tiles are most appreciated for their beauty and durability,” the Nitco spokesperson told FC Build.

The anti-skid ceramic tiles range comprises the Cotta, Dholpur and Country series. The Cottah and Dholpur series have an uneven stone finish while the Country series has thick grooves that enable one to stand while walking, hence offering anti-skid properties, the spokesperson said. These tiles are also resistant to abrasion and stain.

The anti-skid tiles are available in the market through a well-established network of 800 dealers and 5,000 sub-dealers. The company also owns 15 exclusive showrooms under the brand name ‘Le Studio’ in Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Ahmedabad, Ind­ore, Kolkata, Gurgaon, Chan­digarh, Cochin, Coim­batore, Ch­ennai, Bang­alore, Delhi and Hy­derabad.

“In today’s context, one cannot ignore the aesthetic aspect of home décor items, and that applies to tiles, too. Therefore, the anti-skid ceramic tiles are available in a variety of eye-ca­tching colours and designs. They come with an embossed finish and are resistant to cracking and splitting. They are also high on design and low on ma­intenance. These tiles also help add a touch of glamour to the overall décor,” the spoke­sperson told FC Build.

The Cotta series is available in 300 x 300 mm size and comes with a price tag of Rs 50 per sq ft, while the Dholpur series is available in 450 x 450 mm size and costs Rs 54 per sq. ft. The Country series comes for Rs 57 per sq ft for a size of 300 x 300mm.

So keep yourself bruise-free by not slipping on the floor during the monsoon and also through the year.
