Buying and Selling Tiles in Ukraine on NDO
The National Classifieds Board NDO publishes listings in this section for the sale of tiles and additional materials for installing coverings (adhesive, grout, installation tools).
Tiles are a popular choice for wall and floor coverings in homes and commercial spaces due to their durability, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Floor tiles need to be more durable and wear-resistant because they are subjected to significant loads from foot traffic.
Wall tiles are thinner and less durable since they are not exposed to such heavy loads. Aesthetically, wall tiles often offer a wider range of colors and decorative elements because they serve a more decorative function than a practical one.
Depending on the manufacturing material, tiles come in different types that can be used for various surfaces and operating conditions:
- Ceramic – one of the most popular options for floors and walls. It is made from clay fired at high temperatures, which makes it durable and moisture-resistant. Ceramic tile comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing for unique designs.
- Porcelain – has lower porosity and higher wear resistance, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use (terraces, entryways, commercial spaces).
- Mosaic – often used to create accent walls or decorative elements in bathrooms or kitchens. It can be made of glass, ceramic, or even metal and is often supplied as small pieces on a mesh backing for easier installation.
- Porcelain stoneware – a high-strength material used for cladding floors and walls. Features of porcelain stoneware include frost resistance, wear resistance, and resistance to chemical agents. The material does not absorb water and has low porosity.
Tile Prices
Tile prices depend on various factors:
- The material from which the tile is made. Natural materials, such as stone or marble, are usually more expensive than synthetic ones.
- Size and design complexity. The larger and more complex the tile, the higher the price.
- Brand and place of manufacture. Products from well-known brands typically cost more.
- Market demand and seasonality of supply, which can also significantly affect prices.
