Tile Industry Blog — L-Group International

Practical guides on choosing, sourcing, and specifying ceramic and porcelain tiles — written by people who manufacture and export them every day from Morbi, Gujarat.

What This Blog Is For

Most tile advice online is either too generic or written by retailers who never see a factory floor. We publish articles to answer the questions our export team and sales desk hear every week — from a distributor in Dubai comparing GVT and PGVT, to a contractor in Rajkot picking bathroom slip ratings, to a first-time importer asking how container loading actually works. If you buy, sell, or specify tiles for real projects, you are in the right place.

For Importers & Distributors

Container MOQs, FOB pricing logic, certification requirements for Gulf and European markets, and how to evaluate an Indian supplier before placing your first order.

For Architects & Contractors

Tile sizes that work in practice, finish selection for high-traffic areas, full-body vs surface-coated bodies, and layout tips for large-format slabs.

For Homeowners & Designers

Room-by-room guides — bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens — with honest notes on what looks good, what lasts, and what is worth the extra cost.

Topics We Write About

Our articles fall into a few recurring themes. New posts are added when we notice the same question coming up from multiple customers.

Tile types and finishes. GVT, PGVT, full-body porcelain, ceramic wall tiles, and large-format slabs each behave differently under foot traffic, moisture, and daily cleaning. We explain the technical differences in plain language — not catalogue jargon — so you can match the right product to the right space.

Sizes and formats. The shift toward 600×1200 mm and 800×1600 mm formats has changed how rooms feel and how installers work. Our size-specific guides cover thickness, weight per box, joints, and when a larger slab genuinely adds value versus when a standard format is the smarter choice.

Room and application guides. A tile that works on a bathroom wall is not automatically right for a shower floor. We write separately about slip resistance, grout lines, accent walls, and the finishes that hold up in kitchens, living areas, and commercial lobbies.

Export and B2B sourcing from India. L-Group ships to more than 60 countries from Morbi, the world's largest ceramic cluster. Our export-focused articles walk through documentation, lead times, sample requests, and what to look for when shortlisting a manufacturer — useful whether you are buying one container or building a long-term supply relationship.
