Size, finish, PEI rating, water absorption — a friendly, jargon-light walk-through of everything that matters when picking tiles for a new home.
At House of Johnson — Pindi Traders, we work with homeowners, interior designers and architects every day who ask us the same underlying question: "which tile is right for this space?" The honest answer is always the same — it depends on how you live in it.
The tile industry has grown quietly, but rapidly. What was once a purely functional decision — a matter of a "smooth" or "rough" surface — has evolved into a design choice with hundreds of variables. Size, thickness, finish, PEI rating, water absorption, edge treatment, colour temperature. Each one changes how a room feels.
Our approach is unfashionably simple. We show you full-size installations. We ask about your family, your lifestyle, the light in the room, and your maintenance patience. Then, and only then, do we recommend three or four options that we truly believe would work for you. Not the most expensive. Not the newest. The right one.
