These look like natural marble and can be available in different sizes and designs. Vitrified tiles ate highly durable, easy to maintain, stain resistant and have a reflective surface.

These tiles are strong, durable and do not look similar to one another just like any natural stone. These are budget friendly and once installed, they maximize the space of your house, giving it a charm you’d always wish for.

For backsplash

They can be made in any size so for your backsplash, you can mix and match them, play with different color tiles, try a mosaic design and even go for a statement backsplash. These tiles will definitely define your style and enhance your interiors like never before.
